تفاصيل القضية

On a stormy, rainy night, the 'Yassin El-Demeiri' mansion was shaken by a gruesome crime. Yassin, a wealthy and cruel-tempered antique collector, was found murdered with a fatal blow to the head from a heavy brass candlestick inside his private music room.

The police estimated that the crime occurred within a narrow time window between 8:00 and 8:30 PM. The room was in complete chaos, suggesting a violent struggle took place before his death.

The police interrogated four individuals who were present on the estate at the time of the murder. Each of them had a valid reason to wish Yassin dead, and each tells a different story about what they were doing. The challenge now is to separate truth from lies, and identify the killer who cleverly manipulated the crime scene in an attempt to mislead justice.

الأدلة والقرائن

4 دليل

A manual gramophone at the crime scene. The record on it is exactly 5 minutes long. The playback needle was found resting on the record's inner paper label, a position that produces an unbearably sharp, scratching sound that no human could tolerate.

A mechanical pocket watch found smashed next to the victim's hand, its hands completely stopped at 8:25. The side crown of the watch (the button used to set the time and move the hands) was found pulled out.

The lock to the luxury pantry was found broken. An expensive tin of 'Beluga' caviar is missing, and an empty caviar spoon was found carefully hidden inside the pocket of a hanging kitchen apron.

The interior walls of the mansion are not soundproofed. Any loud noise or screaming in the music room can be clearly heard in the kitchen and upstairs. However, the glass greenhouse in the garden is a separate, completely isolated structure that no sound from the mansion can reach.
