Read the passage titled "The Mystery of the Missing Poster": "Someone took it," Taylor said, staring at the blank wall. The hallway bulletin board still had thumbtacks, but the poster was gone. Alex frowned. "It was here this morning. The art show starts tomorrow." Taylor crouched and picked up a torn corner of paper. "Look," Taylor said. "It ripped. Whoever did it was in a hurry." A group of students passed by, laughing. One of them carried a roll of tape and a paint-stained apron. Alex watched them go. "Why would anyone steal a poster?" Alex asked. Taylor pointed toward the gym doors. "Because it wasn't just a poster," Taylor said. "It had the list of judges." Alex's eyes widened. "So someone wanted to change the results?" Taylor shrugged. "Or someone wanted us to think that." Taylor tapped the torn corner. "This paper is thick, like the kind from the office." Alex lowered their voice. "You think it was reprinted?" Taylor nodded. "Let's check the printer log," Taylor said. "If we're right, we'll have a name." Which genre does this passage most likely belong to?
