تفاصيل القضية

In an isolated mansion on a mountainside, billionaire and rare antiquities collector 'Selim Rostom' was found murdered, struck on the head with a heavy bronze statue inside his private 'Safe Room'. The room is designed to protect sensitive manuscripts and operates under a strict security system. The crime occurred between 18:45 (when the victim entered alone) and 19:45 (when the body was discovered by everyone). The night was rainy, and an exceptionally violent hailstorm battered the area. The police are facing 6 suspects, all of whom were in the mansion, and all possess seemingly solid alibis.

الأدلة والقرائن

6 دليل

A sudden hailstorm (giant hailstones) struck the mountainous region between 19:00 and 19:35. The hail crashing against the mansion's glass and metal roofs generated an overwhelming noise reaching 95 decibels (equivalent to a nearby motorcycle).

The room is lined with 40 cm of military-grade soundproofing material. When the steel door is closed, the room becomes 100% soundproof. No sound can escape or enter it.

It exclusively records the opening and closing times of the door: 18:45 (Opened) - 18:46 (Closed). 19:10 (Opened) - 19:14 (Closed). 19:45 (Opened and remained open - the time the body was discovered).

An automated recording of an outgoing call from the glass conservatory's phone at 19:10, lasting 5 minutes. The audio clip contains absolutely no human voice, only a terrifying din and shattering sounds caused by hail smashing against the glass.

An outdoor shoe found in the entryway closet. The suede is in perfect condition, completely dry, with not a single drop of water, mud stain, or scratch on it.

Due to a lightning strike that preceded the storm, the video servers froze at 18:55. All screens were displaying a static (frozen) image of the hallways, and no movement was captured until the system was manually rebooted at 19:40.
