Investigation Report 1
To: Wan Yuan Chief of Police
From: Inspector Jordan
Subject: “Slip or Trip?”
When I arrived the scene yesterday, Queenie looked worried and sad. She said that was nearly one in the morning, when she came back from the club, she found that her husband slipped and fell on the stairs, and, he’s already dead.
I saw there’s really a glass in his hand, as she said. But I think first evidence is strange. As a rule, when people fall down, they drop the things in their hands; the evidence shows that he still got the glass in his hand.
Secondly, as Queenie said, her husband was coming down for another drink. However, Arthur’s position on the floor didn’t support her. When someone falls down from the stairs, he should be facing down, but Arthur was facing the opposite way.
Finally, the evidence is that the glass was in his left hand. As a rule, when he went down at night, he should hold the ceiling, but there’s a glass in the left hand. So that means he’s not going down. Queenie was wrong again.
Therefore, it’s my conclusion that Arthur’s death was strange, there must be something we still don’t know. We should figure that out.
