Since people responded in large numbers with my last set of riddles I made up this Murder Mystery one! Here it is...
It is the 1950s, in the middle of winter, there is a manor on a hillside in the country. The famous inspector Herlock Sholmes is called to solve a murder case (Sherlock Holmes was busy at the time), the Lady Adele has been murdered in the middle of a frosty night, she was an unkindly old woman in her late sixties, she was discovered in the lounge with a single stab wound in the back. The Inspector interrogates the three suspects, they are the Butler, who was at the receiving end of the Ladies anger and was made to do the most ridiculous tasks (one was to measure the chimney from the inside, then his pay was docked when he got covered in soot), the Maid who was forced to literally clean the entire Manor from top to bottom, then made to do it all again because of one speck of dust, this happened every single day, and the gardener, who was given a very small pair of scissors to cut the grass to make sure it was even. This took nearly 3 days to complete as there was a lot of land with the manor, and more than often he was made to do it all over again due to one mistake.
Herlock gets 3 alibi's each from the three suspects
The Butler: It was late at night, I was made to measure each room in the house to make sure that there was an even number of centimetres in each room, naturally I thought that was stupid and so I took the Letter opener knife and opened the Ladies mail for the day. All she received was bills. At around midnight I heard a scream and rushed downstairs to find her body in the Lounge. The Lady was never a nice woman but she didn't deserve to die like that...
The Gardener: I was very tired, I just finished the 3rd plot of land with these scissors, I mean look at them! they're tiny!, anyway, I was walking back when I thought I heard a scream, so I went up to the window where the scream came from (I had to wipe off the frost to see inside) and there was her body, I went inside to see if it was true and it really was, they say that people look asleep when they're dead, but the Lady just looked dead, dead and cold...
The Maid: I was finishing the chores the Lady set me, I was cleaning the windows then I picked up the clothing scissors to cut some fray threads from my Mistresses clothes, It was very late at night when I heard a scream, I dropped down the scissors and ran downstairs into the lounge, and there she was, lying there in the middle of the room. I lit the fire for you Inspector before you came in since the room was so cold...
Herlock acknowledges that all suspects are very likely to have murdered Lady Adele, however he takes one minute to decide then places one of the three people under arrest for murder, who is it and why?
RULES: This is a classic Who-Dunnit?, one of the three killed the Lady, you MUST give the correct person AND the correct reason of why their alibi is a complete pile of shit.
If you give the correct person but the wrong reeason then your whole answer is marked as wrong, and vice versa, the only way you will win and go on to the scoreboard (coming soon) is to give the correct person AND the correct reason.
So, WHO DUNNIT?
