The milk is usually refrigerated before delivery. The old man couldn't put the Wednesday and Thursday milk in the fridge so it became warm {remember it's summer too} the milk man, oblivious that the man was dead still brought a fresh bottle that friday morning that was still cold. However, the mailman stopped delivering papers after Tuesday because he knew the old man was dead and wouldn't need to read the paper. Nope the mail man might have an emergency and not deliver for some days, remember he was last on the scene, he would never return to the scene if he was guilty, |

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? The water contains the poison |

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.

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.

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.

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 doesn't make sense, despite the force of the bullet hitting him, he was still holding on to the gun and recorder, nah nah, someone else killed him, and placed the items in his hands |

Bros I think otherwise. Why would he use a cassette recorder only to say ' I have noting else to live for, I can't... ' he would have more meaningful reason for a recorder if it was a suicide . dfrost:

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? obviously, the shovel is longer than the wall distance. so jack would just crack the wall a bit on one end above his ahoulder. place the blade of the shovel on one end so it doesn't slide off the wall. this way, Jack can stand on the shovel and reach for the window. |

On a cold winter night, a man named Jack was found dead in his house.
He was found by his friend John.
He said that he was passing by Jack’s house and wanted to visit him.
He knocked and rang the bell for a really long time, but there was no answer.
Then he decided to remove the ice from the windows to look inside.
He did that by breathing on the iced window glass.
That is how he was able to see Jack’s body and to call the police.
The next day, police arrested John as their prime suspect.
Why? Breathing on an iced Window doesn't Clear the window instead it makes it harder to see through the window. So it's obvious John was lying |
