The Locked Room
Detective Sarah Pearson arrived at the luxurious mansion of the late billionaire, Victor Rothschild. His body had been discovered in his study, which was locked from the inside. The only other person in the house was his wife, Olivia.
Sarah examined the scene. Victor's body lay slumped over his desk, a single gunshot wound to his head. A pistol rested in his hand. The windows were sealed shut, and there were no signs of forced entry.
Olivia, who had called the police, appeared distraught. She claimed to have been in the garden when she heard the gunshot. Sarah noticed a strange detail: Victor's right hand held the gun, but he was known to be left-handed.
The detective interviewed the staff and learned that Victor and Olivia had been arguing frequently. She also discovered that Olivia was the sole beneficiary of Victor's will.
Sarah searched the room and found a small hole in the wall behind a painting, perfectly aligned with Victor's head. She realized that the killer had used a sophisticated setup to remotely fire the gun, making it appear like a suicide.
Confronting Olivia with the evidence, Sarah revealed the truth. Olivia had orchestrated her husband's murder to inherit his fortune. The arguing had been a ruse to establish motive. Olivia had hidden in the adjacent room, using a remote firing mechanism to shoot Victor through the wall.
With the mystery solved, Olivia was arrested, and justice was served. Detective Sarah Pearson had once again unraveled a seemingly impossible crime.
