Okay guys, a NON-BULLSHIT, NO TRICKS, NO WORD GAMES locked room for you.

A man was found with a gunshot wound on the back of his head, and the body laying face-down in his small office which was located in the room adjacent to the main room this building suite:

----WINDOW-----WINDOW---
| | OPEN |
| *body | |
| | |
| | |
| |
| |
-----------------DOOR---

The door is locked with electronic keypad that requires a code to be opened from EITHER side. The window in the main room was wide open, which was noted by the police to be strange because it was late fall and it was chilly outside. The actual crime was captured by a security camera monitoring the victim's office, which showed the murderer in common clothing and hat (the murderer was either aware of the camera and hid his or her features from it's view or it was just a coincidence). The victim appeared to be at least somewhat comfortable with the murderer, but then the victim was a lawyer who often met with people he barely knew. The murderer drew a gun when the victim turned around and shot the victim in the back of the head, matching all the forensics gathered by the police. The method of murder isn't the question -- it's where did the murderer go after that? The camera shows the murder turned back out of the field of view towards the opening that connected the main room with the victim's office -- and that's it.

>> No.5699469

CONT * shit my ascii art isn't going to work.

The security system saw that the victim's entry code was entered a few seconds after the victim got up out of his desk to, presumably, get the door. About 15 seconds afterwards, the victim returns to his office. 20 seconds after that, the victim follows him in, carrying a paper cup which the murderer set down on the table infront of the the victim's desk. This paper cup came from the water cooler located in the main room, the police think the victim offered the murderer a refreshment, and matches with the amount of time the murderer would have spent in the main room.

The door will close itself slowly once opened, but no more than 30 seconds before it fully shuts (the hydrolics on the door is weak and the door itself is pretty light due to being an old century building). The police thought the murderer may have put something in the door jam to keep the door open, but there is nothing that could be easily accessed by the murderer was found, and the cleaning confirmed nothing was missing. The murderer MAY have put brought something for that purpose, the victim was situated where he would have seen the murderer doing something with the door, even when he returned to his office waiting for the murder. But the code was entered once and never again.

The open window in the main room, which is the main police theory of escape. If room in 5 stories high, with nothing that could obviously work as a hand-hold or means to allow a human to climb down. If the murderer was an acrobat, just maybe if he or she took it slowly, but what about witnesses on the busy street? There is some indication of damage on the bottom window sill which looks to be from something metallic. There is no indication of damage to the door or any other fixture of the suite.

Unlikely, the victim was standing in an area of his office space that he would have seen anything the murderer tried to do with the door.

Closed room's don't work in normal society - this is why mystery novels almost always take place in some secluded area.

There are always witnesses or the local police force with even BASIC stuff that can easily figure out who the killer is.

How are witnesses at any point in this mans time heading to the building - heading to the room - entering the room - or EVEN IN HIS ENTIRE LIFE knowing the man something unreasonable?

Actually, they said to begin with the victim seemed familiar and alright with him.

This means that SOMEBODY or some papework knows of this mans existence, and they would eventually have a list of suspects and get alibis for each one. Then check each alibi to make sure it's true. Then they would check for anything his body may have left - which is not something you can deny in red or any other umineko shit, human's do leave behind evidence no matter how careful they are.

Okay guys, from now on I'm going to use this trip so you can recognize the game master. Someone refresh me on how to post the red truth on 4chan again.

The building has a security guard but where he is situated it would be very easy for someone to sneak past him if he were of a mind. The fact that he didn't see anyone leaving around that time wouldn't be considered reliable enough to seal the entrance of the building.

The police also think he or she must have have used the window.

>> No.5699941

>>5699931
Also, there is no way in an area that isn't secluded witnesses wouldn't exist.

And disregarding all that there is still the fact that the video footage would give enough information to track him down once a list of possible suspects was made. You find a guy who is the height the man seemed, the same skin color, the same body type, the same hair (what you could see with the hat in the way if any), etc.

Then the alibis and investigations into those people.

It's retarded to try and make a closed room in an area with present-time investigative technology and WITNESSES.

Can't say that - the OP already said the victim knew the man. Also, the guard or someone else in or near the building (even walking on the street) would have seen this man. There's video so there is a way to ask people if they saw someone in these clothes or with this body build.

That is irrelevant though. What matters is who he is and where he may be - you can figure out the second part by finding out who he is and investigating that.

You can find out who he is by witness accounts of seeing someone even possibly looking like him nearby or in the building.

First, for the sake of the reader's appreciation for the story, I'll flesh out some unnecessary details here:

1. The murderer may or may not have had an appointment. He may or may not have been a client, or someone related to a client. He may or may not have been an acquaintance, of which the victim had many. The obvious enemies have already been investigated, and the police drew a blank.

2. The police have no way of knowing who might have seen him or her on the street before or after committing the murder. At least there is no record of the same person on the parking garage camera. The police have checked with people in buildings on the street opposite, but no one could really claim to be looking at the victim's building at the time of the murder with certainty.

3. The police checked with the phone company to see if they could connect a call with the murderer, and came up with nothing.

Alright, OP. Let's try a classic.

The main area of the room wasn't covered by the camera. There is a possibility that the culprit hid there until someone came and discovered the lawyer's body. At that time, the door must have been opened, so there was a window for the culprit to slip out while the discoverer was distracted.

This is a game which does not include magic, so my goal with using the Red Truth is just to deny things which could be done by the player if the player was allowed to interact with the scene and evidence himself, and also to limit the scope of the game so that people don't waste a lot of time going down paths that are meanigless. In the case of a Logic Error, the Game Master will immediately admit the error and shall not attempt to re-write the scenario. If a player can beat the closed room with a different truth, then the Game Master will immediately admit defeat.

Now, on to the red.

Okay let's get this out of the way. I will not deny this possibility, however, THIS IS NOT the witch's game, this is a straight up mystery. That means I'm not trying to trick you, but it also means simply throwing out x possibilities isn't enough to win. The police already do that. It has to be solid.

Exiting via the window is possible, but the detective must be able to make it solid -- how would the murderer accomplish this using the evidence available and do it to a sufficiently secure way that would cause a police investigation to turn up blank -- as it would appear to the murderer. Ie, the MURDERER must be able to reasonable come up with a solid escape method via the window, or door, or some other trick to hide-and-exit. Would the murderer climb out a window with people on the street just 5 stories bellow, ie, would it seem like a good plan to the murderer at the time? If so, the detective must be able to construct the plan thae murder came up with to make it doable.

Maybe the murderer was stupid so didn't think it'd be a bad idea to go out the window. Most people who resort to murder typically aren't the most intelligent because they almost always get caught, so I wouldn't be surprised.

Rope would easily be easy to leave no evidence of (again assuming the police are too stupid to find very obvious stuff, which you said i had to do earlier), and again - he may have had a partner working so this opens up a bunch of possibilities given that people "may have not noticed" a second person could easily have put a high-rise ladder right up against the wall for him to climb down on. The reason the one window is damaged is because you said the building is old - so it could have easily been damaged at any time before.

And if he is a bear in a suit he could have just launched out the window without worrying as he'd be fine because he's a bear.

With a literally open window. Cool mystery.

The guy just committed murder, he needs to get out. He rappels down the wall - and because you made it clear people didn't report anything and "may or may not have seen him" it's irrelevant if there are people there or not.

You said you'll admit defeat if this can be solved another way, it has been. Stop being such an infant and keep to what you said.

A remote control pidgeon flew in through the open window, blocked the camera and delivered small bombs to the murderer, which he used to escape through a secret passage in the ceiling. After the murderer left the room, he paid the cleaner to become an accomplice and set up the crime scene and alter the camera's footage.

So the victim would have noticed if there was a pen keeping the door open but not that the murderer fully opened the door to give himself 30 seconds, went and ran to the window, opened it (presumably forcibly), ran back to the door to make sure it didn't close, and then killed him.

The room was split into two parts (hence the use of the term "suite" in my scenario). The office, or office space, where the victim was killed, and the main room, which has the open window and water cooler.

The scenario follows:

1. Murder knocks on door, victim answers.
2. They speak briefly in the doorway, victim tells the murderer he can get some water.
3. Murderer opens window and pours his water.
4. With the door still open, the airflow from the window rushes out of the doorway, keeping it open. I mentioned multiple times the door is in an old building, and is light, and the closing mechanism is weak. I also brought up a gust of wind from the window twice.
5. To seal any further actions with the door, I had the victim stand in the office space where he can see the doorway via peripheral vision, and so it would be very unlikely for the murder to try something to the door physically during this time.
6. Returning to the office space, the murder waited for the victim to walk back to his desk, giving him the chance to strike.
7. The murderer then returned to the main room or section of the suite, where he damaged the bottom window sill using his house keys as a simple misdirection ploy to hopefully keep the police looking in the wrong direction. If he had re-opened the slow door and closed the window before exiting perhaps it would have been a perfectly closed room murder...but he just didn't have the nerve to try it without his misdirection ploy.

I'm 97% sure this comes from a detective show (not a mystery show) where you follow a detective solve a case and it is unsolvable for the viewer. I remember seeing this before, the guy recreates the scene, and then has the realization that the wind kept the door open. No wonder the mystery sucked so much. It wasn't even a closed room

About the air pressure...go open the windows in your house. Tell me what happens. If you have an apartment that has a nice wind tunnel through it you will get a pretty strong breeze, even though it's not windy outside.

Are you trying to tell me you never had doors slam shut? Or rattle? Just from open windows? The reason why I stated that the door swings open into the hall was to allow the air to flow in the correct direction to keep the door open. I stressed the lightness of the door and the weakness of the closing action just to underscore how easily effected this door would be from the gust of air going through it.

>> No.5701487

>>5701448
Thats with 0 hydraulics retard. Theoretically, is a door hinge is well lubed so that there is 0 friction, and minuscule amount of force will move the door. With hydraulics the wind must both counter the hydraulics and the friction. Weight has nothing to do with it except for momentum/inertia.

And finally, I was completely upfront with you guys. No word games. No bullshit. I used the Red Truth as lightly as I could, because I wanted to leave the possibility of another truth winning the game. But I warned you it had to be solid. Go commit a murder, then climb down a building in broad daylight on a busy street. It doesn't make logical sense that any rational person would consider this, nor was there any evidence that such a feat could be accomplished (ie, lack of nylon fibers, the lack of pegs to hold the rope, etc).

Herpaderp. What he meant was that there must be no obvious ways out from it, like going out the window when people MAY OR MAY NOT see you. That's not a closed room, it just depends on the situation.

You must consider the situation as well, not leave things to fate. If it's even remotely possible to leave a closed room, it's busted, and it's your problem if you didn't think of it.
