تفاصيل القضية

On a stormy autumn night, the controversial billionaire and art dealer 'Jalal al-Din' was found dead from a fatal blow to the head inside his luxurious glass office on the top floor of his private gallery. The body was discovered at exactly 21:00 by a security guard.

The office features a unique design; its entire ceiling is a panoramic glass dome. There are no security cameras inside the office itself to respect the victim's privacy, and there are no windows that can be opened. The police were called immediately, the crime scene was fully secured, and the suspects were narrowed down to just five people who had access to the building or were in its vicinity that evening.

Investigators are facing a complex web of lies and intertwined motives. The culprit left behind a seemingly perfect crime scene, relying on a clever plan to manipulate the timeline. As a master puzzle solver, your task is to analyze the bare facts, ignore the misdirection, and uncover the single flaw the killer overlooked.

الأدلة والقرائن

5 دليل

The meteorological log confirms that a severe thunderstorm hit the area, with heavy rain starting to fall at exactly 20:20 and continuing non-stop until midnight. The heavy rain battering the office's glass dome creates a deafening noise.

A family member of the victim received a voice message from the victim's phone at exactly 20:45. In the recording, the victim is heard saying in a tense tone: 'Come to my office immediately.' The background of the voice recording is completely silent, with no noise heard at all.

An analysis of the victim's phone proved that the messaging app was set using a 'Schedule Send' feature. The voice message was actually recorded and scheduled at 20:05, with the timer set to send it automatically at 20:45.

The smart lock log for the victim's office door shows that the door was opened from the outside only twice all evening: the first time at 19:55, and the second time at 20:40 using master card number (04).

A very rare gold pocket watch, which the victim always kept on his desk, was found carefully hidden inside a hollowed-out reference book in the basement archive vault.
