The Locked Room Mystery

Detective Sarah Pearson stood in front of the locked room, her brow furrowed in concentration. Inside, the body of millionaire businessman, Robert Hartley, lay sprawled on the floor. The room had no windows, and the only door was locked from the inside. It seemed like an impossible crime.

Sarah examined the door closely, noting the key still in the lock on the inside. She turned to the maid, who had discovered the body. "Did you hear anything unusual last night?"

The maid shook her head. "No, ma'am. I went to bed early and didn't hear a thing until I found Mr. Hartley this morning."

Sarah nodded and entered the room, careful not to disturb the scene. She noticed a glass of whiskey on the desk, next to a bottle of sleeping pills. The coroner confirmed that Hartley had died from an overdose.

As Sarah searched the room, she discovered a small hole in the wall behind a painting. She peered through it and realized it led to the adjacent room. Suddenly, the pieces fell into place.

Sarah confronted Hartley's business partner, James Werner. "You killed him, didn't you? You drilled a hole through the wall, waited for Hartley to take the sleeping pills, then entered the room and forced more pills down his throat. You locked the door from the inside, then used a string to pull the key back through the hole."

Werner's face turned pale. "You can't prove anything!"

Sarah smiled. "On the contrary, I found the drill and the string in your room. It's over, Werner."

As Werner was led away in handcuffs, Sarah couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. Another impossible mystery solved, thanks to her keen eye for detail and unwavering determination.
