[Flynn stares that the messages, trying to think and get into the game. It's a bit difficult to kick into gear with twenty years of fuzzy memories swirling in his head but focusing on the clue actually helps his mind to quiet down a bit.]
Well my first question would be how did I get this clue? Is it written on a piece of paper? Did someone tell me on the phone, where did it come from? How am I aware to its relation to a possible murder case?
Then I'd wonder what kind of 'folly' we're actually talking about. Foolishness or maybe an architectural place? I investigate if there are follies in the area.
Which brings me to the question what area am I in? Are we in England?
[Sorry, Moriarty, he's smart sometimes but he's also an idiot. But he's really starting to dig this, if that counts for anything.
And right, the game is on! So it's taking place in the city. That changes everything of course. Flynn's mulling the clue over, rolling on his back and muttering to himself for a while. Eventually,]
The murder is taking place between parties who know each other well. Friends, even?
Aw, too bad, I even had this whole elaborate reasoning for my deduction, you know, like you do it? Or like you do it in the books, I don't know how YOU you does it.
Overnight folly location... one of the places you're not supposed to stay overnight then?

This game is interactive, that means you had best get moving on solving the clue, or someone might pay the price for it.

Correct, we're playing here. The whole town is our playing board and, as I am known to say, the game is on.

The clue pertains to the location you need to go to in order to find your next clue.
[Or the dead body of someone, either way, it'll be fun.]

You've had your clue, and I can't guide you through your oblivious stupidity any longer, so call me if you can solve it.
[That's close enough to Sherlock-like, right? He follows it up by hanging up rudely.]
