Crime scene: 162 mystery solving puzzles to find out who the murderer is

Chapter 100 The Villa Murder Case

One day, Detective C received a case in which a painter was killed in his villa.So Detective C rushed to the villa and asked the investigators about the situation.

The painter was shot to death from behind with a sharp object.Before he died, he held a stack of drawing papers in his hands. Detective C carefully studied the stack of drawing papers. There was nothing special about them. There were some symbols or words with no obvious meaning on them.Could it be that the painter died before he could write the murderer's name?
So he began to investigate the painter's relatives and friends. Coincidentally, the painter's girlfriend was his old classmate and friend. They had a very good relationship, but they hadn't been in touch for several years.The painter's girlfriend told Detective C that she had just been summoned by the police to assist in the investigation.Because I didn't have a good relationship with the painter before, I haven't been to the villa for several months.

She also told Detective C that, as far as she knew, the painter and another person worked together in a company, but the two always pushed each other out, so they had a very tense fight.It is quite possible that a colleague of the painter murdered him.The investigation continued into the evening, and everyone was hungry after a day of work.

Detective C said to the painter's girlfriend, "Is there anything to eat here?"

She said, "It should be, go to the kitchen and have a look."

So the painter's girlfriend went to the kitchen with Detective C. Detective C opened the refrigerator and there was a lot of food, but it was all raw. Detective C thought to himself: The painter may be eating instant noodles every day, and the things in the refrigerator seem to be untouched?This man is really lazy, why don't he hire a servant?

When Detective C was still hesitating what to eat, the painter's girlfriend said, "Let me fry some eggs for you." Then she took some eggs and went to the kitchen... Detective C said to himself: " I see!"

Smart you know?

[Answer] How does the girlfriend know that the eggs are still good?Eggs won't last a month even in the refrigerator.And she did not hesitate to suggest that the detective eat eggs.It means she knows the eggs are fine.And she said at the beginning that she hadn't been here for a long time, which was obviously lying.

The painter's death message is that the first person who finds the body or can freely enter and leave the villa is the murderer.Because no matter what information the painter leaves, it will be destroyed by the murderer.So only some seemingly meaningless symbolic words were left on the drawing paper. The painter really wanted to leave the name of the murderer, but the painter also thought that the clues would be destroyed.
