Gemc3:
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,

He used the shovel to make a pile of mud high enough to reach the window and escape.

Replace the "he" to "I" mr Jack

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:
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.

pls what's the title of the movie, pls, I want to get it

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?

the mail man killed him, the police knew because of the cold bottle

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?

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

if the man died on tuesday judging by the newspaper, why is the two bottles of milk warm, i think the milk man killed him and added two warm bottles of milk to make it seem normal or something like that

How do you explain the pool of blood still visible, if it had happened on Tuesday, the blood should have evaporated .

Ni from first 2 letters Nickel
C from carbon

Who pressed the stop button in the recorder?

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 .

Because all the windows are locked, the detective was the one that opened all the windows before flipping the coIns.... if it was a suicide at least one of the Windows will be opened already

I t couldn't have been suicide if they played the cassette recorder and heard those things, someone must have rewound the cassette.

Remember it was not stated that the milk was found at the door post. Who received the milk from the delivery man? The dead man?

That means all the floors had their windows closed and if it was suicide there would be no one to close the windows

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?

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.

dug the floor and made a heap with the sand high enough to jump to the window

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?

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

Water is either the poison or it reacts with the pill to make it poisonous..
