    Since Sherlock was found in a bathroom, it could theoretically be the toilet in Sherlock's bathroom that she flushed for Mycroft to hear, but I don't believe this.

     
     

    Funny how initially Drew-sama discarded the correct theory, only come out with the correct one later on again 

    Well, I hope this case was interesting enough for everyone...:rolleyes:

    Anyhow, who's up to make the next case?

    Before departing for her walk with Mycroft, Irene excuses herself with a lie about needing to visit the toilet. She instead goes to Sherlock's room. Since she is his ex, it would not be difficult for her to convince him to grant her entry (mentioning the possibility of getting back together, suggesting they have a quick romp while Mycroft is out, etc.). Because Sherlock had already made it clear he was suffering from an upset stomach, Irene could be fairly certain that he would indeed need to use the toilet soon, so she stalled until then. The likely reason she was delayed before returning to Mycroft at the entrance was because he took longer than she expected before doing so. When Sherlock finally went to the toilet, Irene quickly found Mycroft's gun and she entered the toilet and shot Sherlock. It is probable that Mycroft's call came in at this time, which she answered to explain that she would return momentarily, then flushed Sherlock's toilet for effect. She then quickly stuffed the gun into a bag belonging to Mycroft and rushed toward the entrance. These were the running footsteps heard by John's caller. Later, when questioned by the police, Irene would muse on the fact that she had been in her own toilet when she heard the shot and claim to also have heard footsteps to add plausibility.

    BRILLIANT! That is EXACTLY how it happened. Drew-sama is the Holmes of the (till the next time).

    Irene Adler would NOT be too happy, but at least the world is a better place.

    Although this would not have been deductible, Irene was 'checking' on Sherlock if he were okay. The upset stomach caused vomiting, Irene helped Sherlock get to the bathroom so he could do his job. When Mycroft called, she was flushing down Sherlock's vomit! After the call, Irene shot Sherlock, cleaned herself of any gunpowder residues (she was after all in a bathroom), switched her gun with Mycroft's, and came prancing back to the exit gate. 

     

    I apologise about the ambiguity of Irene's return I had made earlier. But since Drew-sama answered first post the clarification, he has to be crowned.

    Point #1. John) John left before Sherlock decided not to to go for the walk, so even though he had motive and means, he was unaware of the opportunity. Additionally, his phone call is confirmed and the person to whom he was speaking (presumably) said nothing of hearing the gunshot but acknowledged hearing footsteps. This means John was far enough away that he could hear the shot but the other party couldn't. From this, it can be deduced that John was in his room two doors down from Sherlock and on the phone as he claimed and the footsteps heard were those of the killer fleeing past John's room.

     

    Point #2. Irene) Irene was staying in the room between Sherlock and John, meaning she would not have passed John's room as she fled to her own. She also could not have fled to the hotel entrance because Mycroft had already discovered the body by the time she returned.

     

    Point #3. Mycroft) Mycroft shared the room with Sherlock, so he would have had the key to slip in and murder his brother. He was in possession of the murder weapon.

     

    Once you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. It is impossible for John to be the killer because the person to whom he was speaking would have heard the gunshot. It is impossible for Irene to be the killer because her fleeing footsteps would not have been heard passing John's room. Therefore, the killer is Mycroft.

     

    Likely scenario: After Irene excused herself, Mycroft went to the room he and Sherlock shared and shot his brother. Fearing someone might come investigate the sound of the gunshot, he immediately fled, rushing past both Irene and John's rooms, returning to the entrance to await Irene. When Irene did not return quickly, he grew nervous (perhaps fearing she had seen him) and called her mobile to see what her reaction would be. When he got off the phone with her, he presumably decided that it would be best for him to "discover" the body as soon as possible, so he returned to the room and "found" Sherlock. (A side note, it is entirely possible that Mycroft slipped something to Sherlock during dinner to make sure he would be to ill to go for their regular walk, and possibly even to Irene to make sure she would have to excuse herself long enough for him to commit the crime. This is not definite, but it is possible.)

     

    So, how did I do?

     

    Point#2 is at fault. Irene returned before the body was discovered

     


  4. Well, we shall continue here I guess. So, anyone with any answers?

     

    The case was this-

    A group of four friends (Sherlock, Mycroft, Irene and John) went out to dine in a hotel on the occasion of Sherlock getting a job. When they were having dinner together, they were deciding on a nightly walk outside the hotel. However, John (Sherlock's best friend), refused as he was expecting a call from one of his mates on a reply from a job agency. The rest three decided to go anyway.

    On the last minute, Sherlock too refused with an account of an upset stomach. So finally, only Mycroft (Sherlock's brother) and Irene (Sherlock's ex) went for the walk. As they were right about to leave the hotel, Irene excused herself to the bathroom and came back a bit late. Mycroft waited for her at the hotel exit gate.

     

    By the time they came back, Mycroft found Sherlock shot dead in his room.

    On investigation, the following points about the scene-of-crime were noticed-

    • Sherlock was found shot at his right temple, in the room's toilet 
    • The gun used (no silencer) was found inside a bag belonging to Mycroft

    On questioning, the following facts came out

    1. MYCROFT HOLMES (BIOLOGICAL SIBLING OF DECEASED)
    • Was sharing the room with the deceased
    • With no solid alibi, he claims to be waiting at the hotel exit gate for Irene
    • When she took more than ten minutes, he called her on her mobile
    • Embarrassed, Irene answered that she will be out in a minute. Mycroft heard her flush the toilet on the phone.
    • He says he did not hear a gunshot. However, agrees to be in possession of a gun.
    • IDENTIFIED MOTIVE: Deceased was the cause of the death of Mycroft's wife

          2. JOHN WATSON (ACQUAINTANCE OF THE DECEASED)          

    • Had a private room two rooms next to the deceased's room
    • Was allegedly talking to a third party individual on mobile regarding employment hunting
    • The third party confirms the conversation, call log on mobile double checks.
    • Claims to never have left his room. Accepts hearing gunshot but ignored it. Accepts to be in possession of a gun.
    • The third party also says it heard hurried footsteps on the phone
    • IDENTIFIED MOTIVE: Deceased had, at the expense of John, got his new job by bribery

     

          3. IRENE ADLER (EX-GIRLFRIEND OF DECEASED)

    • Had a private room right next to the deceased's and John's room.
    • Agrees with the movements described by Mycroft Holmes
    • Agrees to have heard the gunshot and also heard someone rush past her door before leaving the room to catch up with Mycroft. Too had ignored the gunshot as a crashed hotel cart. Accepts to be in possession of a gun.
    • IDENTIFIED MOTIVE: The relationship between the deceased and Irene ended due to the deceased unable to solve a case in time costing the life of her brother Godfrey Norton.

    These accounts are sufficient to catch the murderer. With right reason, explain who the murderer is.

    The hint was-

    A murderer always muses on an alibi... doesn't he?

    Answers will be accepted till... FRIDAY 31st MARCH 2017


  5. I had a suggestion. Since many don't have time to watch ALL Conan episodes, they prefer to watch some specific episodes like in which Black Organisation appeared or a new character was introduced. Similarly, I like to watch episodes with Haibara's appearance and much better when she helps to solve the case. I was hoping pages like Cases solved by Haibara Ai/ via Professor Agasa/ by Subaru Okiya/ by FBI etc. could be formed where episodes/manga chapters could be enlisted for each.

    That way it's much simpler to navigate through the episodes/chapters which will be most enjoyable by individual choices.


  6. Well, I have one for you people-

    A group of four friends (Sherlock, Mycroft, Irene and John) went out to dine in a hotel on the occasion of Sherlock getting a job. When they were having dinner together, they were deciding on a nightly walk outside the hotel. However, John (Sherlock's best friend), refused as he was expecting a call from one of his mates on a reply from a job agency. The rest three decided to go anyway.

As they were right about to leave the hotel, Irene excused herself to the bathroom and came back a bit late. Mycroft waited for her at the hotel exit gate.

     

    By the time they came back, Mycroft found Sherlock shot dead in his room.

    These accounts are sufficient to catch the murderer. With right reason, explain who the murderer is.

     

    FUN FACT: The previously mentioned Godfrey Norton is the fictional husband of Irene Adler she eloped with in Sir Doyle's short story 'A Scandal In  Bohemia'.

  7. Since Ai-chan has got so much love from the audience, I highly doubt a sad ending for her. I mean, she was more popular than Ran-san in a poll. I think after the introduction of these possibilities of her cousin being Masumi-san and all (if that is true, Akai-kun dated his own cousin sister Akemi-san which is gross incest) her ending will be more wholesome. I feel, after the BO being defeated and all in the end, she would want to come back in her adult form and say her final goodbyes, telling the truth to all who thought of her as a kid. I still feel that Atushi-sama and Elena-san aren't dead (parents of Shiho-chi), I mean after all BO needed their backup had Shiho-chi failed to continue as her parents' successor. And somewhere near the end they will be freed by the help of Conan-kun, Akai-kun, Masumi-san and of course Ai-chan. 

    Regarding love interests, I still despise ConAi shipping because, c'mon people we know that won't ever happen. I feel that the soccer player Ryusuke Higo-kun will fall for Shiho-chi much to her own interests. He won't be as smart as Shiho-chi but then again who will?
