Mel Colly found dead
posted by Riddlemaker - July 21 2012 12:48:06 PM
Mel Colly was found dead in his library. His forehead was resting on the keys of a tape recorder, a pool of blood lay on the desk beside him. From the door, Shadow could see that Mel's right hand covered the gun and that a bullet had entered his right temple. Shadow removed the tape recorder from under Mel's head and pressed the play button. A voice said,"This is Mel Colly speaking. I am not going to go on with a long winded farewell. I'm tired of life and all its anguish. I'll see you on the other side, wherever that may be." There was a gunshot and the sound of his head hitting the tape recorder keys, followed by a click indicating the tape recorder had been shut off. Shadow was certain that someone else had imitated Mel's voice and made this recording to sound like a suicide. Why does Shadow suspect murder?

It supose to be Mel's dead head that shuts recorder off but it isnt like that. You see, Shadow pressed play button but he didn't rewind tape first wich means that somebody (killer) did that, not Mel because you hear a gunshot at the end.

Maybe because usually Mel Colly likes his life a lot so that could mean that someone else killed Mel.
