the mystery of e DEAD MAN

[Lim Jia]

A man was found shot dead in his study. He was slumped over his desk and a gun was in his hand. There was a cassette recorder on his desk. When the police entered the room and pressed the play button on the tape recorder they heard, "I can't go on. I have nothing to live for." Then there was the sound of a gunshot. How did the detective immediately know that the man had been murdered?

1. "found shot dead" - since he was found to be shot dead, it wasnt sucidal.

2. If he had committed suicide, he would not have been able to record the conversation TOGETHER with the gunshot, because there is no way the detective could have played the cassette from the start if he committed suicide as the tape needs to be rewinded before playing.

No need to see these questions before solving de mah... if you have the brains of a detective, use logic and tui li (deduce from clues & evidences) can solve ler.

Quote from Sherlock Holmes:

Watson, you see but do not observe, hear but do not listen... logic, common sense and attention my friend.
