Mystery teasers are little stories where you need to figure out what happened based on the given clues.Mystery
It was an average day. Troti (The ruler of the Inspectors) was walking down the street. He heard a gunshot and ran towards it. A nearby restaurant owner had gotten shot.
He ran inside. The owner had left a suicide note on top of the gun, which was on the table. He had a bullet wound in his head.
The cops came in and said it was an obvious suicide, the reason being his restaurant was failing and about to be bankrupt. They had his suicide note, in handwriting that looked like his. But Troti wasn't sure. What changed his suspicion about the suicide?

Answer
If the owner of the restaurant had shot himself in the head, he would have had no time to put the gun and the note on the table, and if the note was already written and placed, it would be under the gun, not on top of it.Hide Answer Show Answer

that was WAY TOO EASY! i knew the answer as soon as i saw that the note was on top of the gun
i really liked it, Easy but a great mystery
This one and case of a murdered wife are really too easy. I usually read most of Mystery's teasers. He has a range of difficult teasers to read but these are so easy they are almost pointless to write out.

I've heard of one like this. The guy has the actual pen in his hand and the gun in the other. His wife is able to tell he is right handed, but the pen is in his left! I love these, keep up the good work!

too easy, but fun. Thanx
i think it was easy too, but i couldn't help but wonder...
if the cops are trained to look for hard to find evidence and the other guy wasn't, why didn't the cops notice that the letter was on top? This soen't make sense. O well.
