🧠 The Phone That Rang




🔍 Case

A businessman was found dead in his office at 9:00 PM.
There were no signs of forced entry.

Three people were questioned:

His assistant said:
“I called him at 9:05 PM, but his phone just kept ringing. He didn’t answer.”

His partner said:
“I left the office at 8:30 PM. He was alive when I left.”

The cleaner said:
“I arrived at 9:15 PM and found him on the floor.”

Phone records showed:

  • An outgoing call from the victim’s phone at 8:58 PM

  • An incoming call at 9:05 PM that was never answered

Investigators immediately knew who the killer was.

🔍 Click to Reveal Solution

The assistant was the killer.

However, the phone was later found powered off when police arrived.
This means the assistant’s call never rang, and it was a lie, proving false testimony and placing the assistant at the scene after 8:58 PM.
