تفاصيل القضية

On a stormy winter night, billionaire Jalal El-Din hosted a dinner party at his luxurious mansion. At exactly 9:45 PM, a terrifying gunshot rang out from the upper floor. The security guard, who was patrolling the hallway, rushed over and broke down the door to the private study, which was locked from the inside. The guard found Mr. Jalal dead with a gunshot wound to his chest, still bleeding, with the weapon lying beside him. The only window was securely closed and locked from the inside.

All the guests on the ground floor confirmed hearing the gunshot clearly at 9:45 PM. At first glance, it appears to be a clear-cut suicide or an impossible crime, as no one left the room and there was no other exit. However, a careful examination of the crime scene reveals that the killer manipulated time and logic with diabolical genius, leaving behind silent gaps that speak louder than bullets.

الأدلة والقرائن

4 دليل

The optical smoke detector installed on the study's ceiling is highly sensitive, programmed to record any airborne particles (smoke, dust). The system logged one activation at 9:00 PM (lasting for 4 minutes), and another at 10:15 PM (due to the forensic fingerprint powder used by the police). The detector recorded absolutely no activity at 9:45 PM.

The victim was shot in the chest from a very close range (less than 10 cm). The wound is surrounded by heavy gunpowder burns and a thick layer of soot. The weapon used (a heavy-caliber handgun) was found next to the body, and this type of firearm produces a thick cloud of smoke when fired.

A Bluetooth speaker, carefully hidden behind a row of books in the study's bookcase, was found powered on. The volume indicator was set to maximum (100%). The device was still wirelessly connected to an unidentified smartphone.

A rare diamond watch went missing from the safe in the victim's bedroom. It was later found carefully hidden inside the pocket of one of the attendees, who claimed in his official statement that he had not left the ground-floor library all evening.
