Detectives in Togas 4

On their way to tell Rufus the good news about no school, the boys notice writing on a sacred temple wall made for the emperor. Written in red paint is, Caius is a dumbbell. The handwriting looks the same as Rufus' when he wrote Caius is a dumbbell on a writing tablet. The boys go straight to see Rufus and ask him if he wrote on the temple wall because he will be in a lot of trouble! When they get to his house Rufus denies ever writing that on the temple. He admits he was mad but he would never go to that extreme. The other boys tell Rufus that the Senator already knows and he is going to the town prefect to have Rufus punished. They found all this out when they were at the sight of the crime and Claudia, Caius' little sister came out and told them what she had heard. I personally think that Caius was trying to get back at Rufus and framed him. The boys, excluding Rufus go over to talk to the senator themselves. They talk to the senator and he agrees to call in a professional to see if the handwriting was forged. When Scribonus gets to the senator he compares a copy of Rufus' handwriting to the writing on the temple and concludes they are the same. :(
