We are yet to read of a serial killer who uses poison as his MO. Serial killers do what they do to satisfy an innate urge, it'd be a surprise if he let poison do the job.
My opinion is; both pills were harmless, the victim takes the pill and the killer does his job afterwards.

Explorers:
A serial killer kidnapped his victims, held them hostage and offered them a possibility to stay alive.

They had to choose from two pills.

One was poison, other was harmless.

Whichever pill the victim took, the serial killer would take the other one.

The victim took their pill with water and died.

The killer obviously survived.



How did the killer always end up with the harmless pill?
Because he didn't take them with water

A man was found dead with a cassette recorder in one hand and a gun in the other.

When the police came in, they immediately pressed the play button on the cassette.

He said “I have nothing else to live for.

I can’t go on,” then the sound of a gunshot.

After listening to the cassette tape, the police knew that it was not a suicide.

How did they know?
It is already written that when the police came ,they immediately pressed the play button. Who reversed it

Jack was placed in a cell 2×2 with one window at the top of the wall.

The window was big enough for him to go through it but too high for anyone to reach it.

The cell was empty.

It had nothing in it, except a shovel.

He had only two days to break out.

How will Jack escape?
He will contact MICHEAL SCOFIELD the first day, and Scofield will break him out the second day. Voila!

A dead body is found at the bottom of a multistory building.

It looks quite clear that the person has committed suicide by jumping off from one of the floors.

A detective comes, goes to the first floor and walks in the room facing the direction in which the body was found.

He opens the closed window of that room and flips a coin towards the floor.

He goes to the second floor and does the exact same thing till the last floor.

Then, when he climbs down, he tells the team that it is a murder, not suicide.



How did he know?

If it were to be a suicide, the windows would have been open, but the killer shut the window after throwing him out.

A lonely old man lived in a lonely old house in the suburbs of a city.

He never left his house for long.

It was a midsummer, a Friday when the mailman walked by the house and called the lonely old man.

There was no answer.

When he looked into the window, he saw that old man lying in a pool of blood.

When the policemen arrived, they found a newspaper from Tuesday, 2 bottles of warm milk and one cold bottle.

The next day, the killer was arrested.

Who was the killer, and how did the police figure this one out?
The Man was definitely killed by a visitor who tried to covers his tracks by taking the newspapers from Wednesday and Thursday but left his fingers prints on the bottle of one of the milks

THE POWER OF INTENTIONS Question – is spirituality about extremism?
Question – why do we follow ritual in spirituality?

I think we live a life of extremes.
Extremism seems to be the nature of people who are conditioned and habituated to it. Black or white, and no shades of grey in middle, its this or that, and we cant have this and that.
You know extremism seems to be like that. >>> http://www.inforedu.com/2017/09/the-power-of-intentions.html

On the day he was murdered, the chemist only had 3 visitors: his wife Mary, his nephew Nicolas, and his friend Jonathan.

You narrate past incidents in past tense which is why most storybooks are written in past tense. Jack did made it cos the wall is 2×2 so all he need do is just dig hole on either side of the wall and keep climbing till he reach window.

If it was a suicide, then at least the windows at any of the floors must have been left open by the person who jumped off.

So someone must have pushed him off and then closed the window again.
