Death Behind Bolted Doors: A Perfect Murder Unmasked

The Locked Room Mystery

Detective Sarah Pearson arrived at the mansion, summoned by a distressed call from the owner, Mr. Jameson. Inside, she found Mr. Jameson pacing nervously in the living room. "It's my wife, Olivia," he said, his voice trembling. "She's been murdered."

Sarah followed him upstairs to a locked room. The door had been bolted from the inside, and the windows were secured. Olivia's lifeless body lay on the floor, a single gunshot wound to her head. A gun rested beside her.

The detective examined the scene, noting that the room was undisturbed. She questioned Mr. Jameson and learned that he had been in the garden when he heard the gunshot. He rushed inside, finding the door locked. He had to break it down to enter.

As Sarah investigated further, she discovered that Olivia had been having an affair with her tennis instructor, Jack. Mr. Jameson had found out and confronted her the night before. Neighbors reported hearing a heated argument.

Sarah interviewed Jack, who claimed he was teaching a lesson at the time of the murder. His alibi checked out. She also spoke with the housekeeper, Mrs. Green, who had been out running errands.

With no signs of forced entry and the door locked from within, Sarah was puzzled. She searched the room again and noticed a peculiar detail: a small hole in the wall, hidden behind a painting.

Realization dawned on her. She gathered everyone in the living room and revealed the truth. Mr. Jameson had discovered the affair and plotted his revenge. He had secretly installed a pulley system inside the wall, allowing him to lock the door from outside. He shot Olivia, staged the scene, and used the pulley to bolt the door before breaking it down.

Faced with the evidence, Mr. Jameson confessed to the murder, driven by jealousy and betrayal. Another case closed for Detective Sarah Pearson, proving that even in the most seemingly impossible situations, the truth will always come to light.
