تفاصيل القضية

Nader Al-Alfi, a ruthless billionaire and antiquities collector, was found dead from a fatal blow to the back of the head inside the 'secret vault' beneath his country manor. The body was discovered at 3:45 PM when the estate manager went down to serve coffee and found the vault door slightly ajar. The coroner pinpointed the time of death precisely between 3:00 PM and 3:30 PM. The vault is located underground and dedicated to storing his rarest possessions.

At the time of the murder, there were only five people in the manor, each with a compelling reason to get rid of Nader. The police face a complex puzzle: all suspects have alibis, and some are clearly lying, but the exterior security cameras were disabled by a previous storm. The killer executed the crime in cold blood, leaving behind a scene seemingly devoid of any direct evidence.

Investigators have gathered testimonies from those present and a set of physical reports from the crime scene. Your task is to read between the lines, expose the secondary lies, and identify the one criminal who cannot possibly be innocent based on the intersection of spatial and temporal evidence.

الأدلة والقرائن

6 دليل

An official audio recording sent by the bank of an outgoing call at 3:15 PM. The caller's voice is calm and clear, confirming financial details. The background of the call is completely silent—dead quiet without a single trace of noise.

A massive, antique mechanical clock tower located directly above the roof of the 'East Wing Office'. Its giant bronze bell automatically rings every day at 3:15 PM for 60 seconds. The sound intensity inside the East Wing reaches 90 decibels (a deafening noise that cannot be ignored).

The manor's telephone network is unified (PBX). All landlines in the manor, including the East Wing office and the secret vault, connect to the outside world and appear to the recipient under the same 'Main Unified Number' of the manor.

The secret underground vault is built with reinforced concrete walls a meter thick, lined with advanced soundproofing panels. The room is 100% soundproof, and no outside noise, no matter how loud, can penetrate it.

In the guest room (second floor), the bed is meticulously made and tightly tucked without a single crease. In the adjacent master suite, the large wall painting is slightly tilted, revealing the edge of a hidden metal safe.

At 3:50 PM, hot ashes and piles of half-burnt financial statements emitting smoke were found in the backyard incinerator. There is no trace or smell of tobacco in the area.
