Explorers:
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?

D windows wer locked so it could nt b suicide

Explorers:
Answers and source will be here.

He knew because the windows were shut. If it was suicide, the windows would have been open.

Explorers:
A famous chemist was found dead in his laboratory.

There was nothing around him except a paper with the names of chemical substances:

Carbon
Oxygen
Nickel
Lanthanum
Sulfur

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

The police arrested the murderer right away.

How did they know who killed him?

Explorers:
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?

It was the water.

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?

Explorers:
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?

Breathing on an iced window fogs it, it would be impossible to see through this.

Explorers:
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?

Who turned off the recorder and rewound? It was obviously still recording when he was shot.

A shovel is 4 ft long. He props it against the wall and climbs it to reach the window.

Lol.. Even if he was inside, he didn't need the shovel, i remember when i was younger, in the corridor, i would just put my feet on each wall and traverse my way to the very top, and the corridor was a lil wider than 2 feet... I'm sure he can use his hands and feet to climb without the shovel

Inform me if the answer is correct. The killer was Tuesday because he was the one who supplied those things to the lonely man.

The killer took the pills without water and the victims took them with water, then the pills did nothing to them but the water did kill them.

Why?

No normal person goes to his friends house unannounced, knocks and when there's no answer looks through the window, even if that was the case he wouldn't have been patient enough to breathe in ice glass.

Explorers:
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?

whosoever come to deliver the "2 bottles of warm milk and one cold bottle" was there before the mailman.

since the milk is still warm and the bottle cold, insinuate that it was delivered that day.

The tape is on rewind.

If he did the recording, the tape would need to be stopped and rewound to be able to hear his recording.

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.
