Death Through the Vent: An Origami Clue Confession

The Locked Room Murder

Detective Liza Summers arrived at the crime scene, a luxurious penthouse apartment. The victim, wealthy businessman Robert Hartley, lay dead in his study, a single gunshot wound to his temple. The door was locked from the inside, and the windows were sealed shut. No weapon was found.

Liza questioned the suspects: Robert's wife, Olivia, who had a rocky marriage with the victim; his business partner, James, who had a heated argument with Robert the day before; and the maid, Maria, who discovered the body.

Olivia claimed she was at a charity event at the time of the murder. James said he was at the office, working late. Maria stated she had the night off and only arrived in the morning to find Robert dead.

Liza searched the apartment and found a strange clue: a small, intricate origami crane on Robert's desk. She also noticed that the study's ventilation grate was slightly ajar.

After investigating further, Liza discovered that James had a secret origami hobby and that he had lied about his alibi. She confronted him, and he confessed to the crime. James had used a specialized gun with a retractable mechanism, firing it through the ventilation grate from the adjacent room. He then sealed the grate and retrieved the weapon, leaving the locked room mystery.

The origami crane was a subtle hint of James' involvement. Liza solved the case, proving that even in a seemingly impossible situation, the truth could be uncovered by a keen eye and a sharp mind.
