Investigations: [Concluded]

"Sorry," the cop replies. "That would be a private affair."

*note: Yes, Mr. Brown was a corporate executive. It is not completely unforseeable that he, in his career, made several enemies. However, I will guarentee that that was not the motive. This was the work of a psychopath.

Ask if there have been any similar murders recently.

**Seon** · 12-25-2010, 22:09

"No," the cop replies. "This has been a crime free neighbourhood for the past...4 years. The emergency personnel didn't expect it to be a murder. Frankly none of us expected it to be a murder, so they just sent some paramedics. The hospital was closer to this house than the police station anyways."

The police pauses to remember. "It's all quite a mystery..." he said. "How could this have happened? All the windows of this house are locked from the inside, and they all have vibration detecting sensors built into it. The door's fitted with an autolock and the wife swore that the chain was still set from the inside when she opened the door. We think that she did it... She's the only one who can....but then why? And where did the murder weapon go?

Ask for permission to question the wife.

The man in blue raises an eyebrow. "She's not in here. No duh. Besides, you know that you can't ask me that question. Privacy, you know? Actually, I think I would like you to leave now."

"Bu..."

"No matter. Just. Go."

You walk away, still unable to quite piece together what happened in the house.

OOC NOTE: All the clues that you *need* to piece together the thing have been given

.

IC: You boot up your PC. 'tis time to talk to the murderer. Over the past few years, you two, the murderer and the detective, have grown quite close together. The murderer would, on many occassions, kill people and taunt you over the web with it, daring you to solve it.

Of course, you solved most of them. MOST OF THEM.

A conversation box suddenly appears in your screen. It's the murderer. "So, Mr. Detective!" the murderer says brightly. "have you figured it out yet?"

Suddenly the murderer goes offline. Few minutes later he appears again. You smirk. "Battery problems again? Forgot to pay the electricity bill?"

"Shut. Up." The murderer replies. "So, did you solve it yet?"

"It was impossible for anyone to sneak inside the house even before the cops came," you reply. "How the heck did you..."

The murderer laughs. "I don't know, magic I guess."

I still think I solved it with the ADT guy, I just didn't ask all the right questions.

I'm not sure what other solutions there are.

**Seon** · 12-26-2010, 19:05

It could be done by the ADT guy, but that would be too easy. Therefore I shall give you... A major hint. At no point during the night of Brown`s death did the secuirty system disengage. The culprit was able to get into the house without that.

You might then go to say something like “Mr. Brown simply forgot to close a window or something.” So I will state that all the windows were closed. You may even say that the murderer bribed the ADT guy to not install a detecror in a certain window. No such thing happened.
