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

Chapter 48

The waitress Sayuri was killed in the apartment, with blunt force marks on the back of her head, lying prone in the middle of the room, holding a pearl necklace.Xiao Baihe is a person who is obsessed with money. I heard that she often lends money to her colleagues, and then charges high interest, making a living as a usury.For those who failed to pay back the money on time, they even demanded accessories, dresses, etc. as collateral.That's why everyone hates her. Even the necklace she was clutching in her hand when she died was obtained from her colleague Lvzi who borrowed money from her.

The strange thing is that the windows are locked and the door is chained from the inside, which means Sayuri was killed in the secret room.In this way, Midori, the owner of the necklace, becomes a murder suspect.However, how Midori killed Sayuri has always been a mystery.What about the truth?

[Answer] Hit Sayuri on the head with a hammer through the door chain.The windows are locked and the door is chained so no one can enter, even so it cannot be said to be a secret room.

Because, if the door with the chain is not locked, it can still be opened to a gap of a few centimeters, and criminals use this space to commit crimes.On that day, Lvzi had to hand over her beloved necklace to Xiao Baihe as collateral because she could not pay her debts.

Sayuri said it was a pity, but she still greedily accepted it, and Midori had the evil idea of ​​killing for a moment.However, Sayuri, who is extra careful, would never let others into the house easily. The money and goods are usually received at the door, and they are carried out through the door chain.

Therefore, Midori came up with a plan. She deliberately put the necklace in a place that could be seen and obtained through the door chain, a little farther away from the door. When Sayuri bent down to pick it up, Midori used the necklace hidden outside the door. The hammer on her body slammed into the back of her head, but the blow was not fatal. Saiduri howled and grabbed the necklace and ran back into the room, and finally died after running a few steps due to her serious injuries.
