Crime Stories: From the Files of Martin Mystere Hints
How do I open this envelope?
1 of 5: What envelope? There's a letter opener downstairs in the library --
2 of 5: -- but Martin won't use it; he doesn't want to destroy evidence. (Which is a little goofy, since he won't give the letter to the cops even after he's all done with it, but never mind.)
3 of 5: How do people in stories like this open a letter without tearing the envelope?
4 of 5: They steam it open. What else?
5 of 5: Go back home and go into the kitchen. Pick up the tea kettle from the table and use it on the stove, then use the envelope on the steaming kettle.
