Searching your room I found that your a graduate from Chemical science.First I tell how this murder was done.When we reached in Mayor’s room he was not died but sleeping due to pills which were dissolved by Mrs. Dorthy in his tea.
Being a Chemical Science graduate she has all the knowledge about chemicals including poison.She prepared a special poison which gets neutralized by Lemon Tea and slipping pills so thats why Doctor can’t able to find this poison in Mayor’s body.The murder weapon used is, this needle and key ring.When Mrs. Dorthy shook Mayor to wake up at that time she only pierced this poised needle on his neck.Being deadly poison it fastly act and Mayor died abruptly. Due to impact of falling this needle fall from his body.
Dorthy : Yes I am the killer of this bloody man.He is killer of my husband James. We three of us graduated from the same college . Mayor loves me and proposed me but I love James so I married to James.James had a pills factory but Mayor closed his factory.After that James not able to pay loan of the factory and had suicide.After that Mayor paid all my loans and marry me.Last month I found it was intentionally done by Mayor to close James factory. So I decided to kill him.
This case is solved but what about Jargo, will David able to ever find him…….
