Can You Solve These?

Try to figure out these three mysteries. The answers will be posted in another post.

Mystery one:

             A man was found murdered Sunday morning.  His wife
immediately called the police

The police questioned the wife and staff and got these answers:

             The wife said she was sleeping.

             The cook was preparing breakfast.

             The gardener was gathering vegetables.

             The maid was getting the mail.

             The butler was polishing shoes in the pantry.

             The police instantly arrest ed the murderer.  Who did it
and how did they know?

Mystery two:

             A man walks into his bathroom and shoots himself right
between the eyes using a real gun with real bullets.

He walks out alive, with no blood anywhere and no, he didn’t miss and he
wasn’t Superman or any other crusader wearing a cape.

             How did he do this?

Mystery three:

Old Mr. Teddy was found dead in his study by Mr. Fiend.  Mr.

Fiend recounted his dismal discovery to the police:

“I was walking by Mr. Teddy’s house when I thought I would just

pop in for a visit. I noticed his study light was on and I decided to
peek in from the outside to see if he was in there. There was frost on
the window, so I had to wipe it away to see inside.

That is when I saw his body.  So I kicked in the front door to

confirm my suspicions of foul play.  I called the police immediately
afterward.”

The officer immediately arrested Mr. Fiend for the murder of Mr.

Teddy.

How did he know Mr. Fiend was lying?

    Mystery One – the maid did it, no mail on Sunday.

    Mystery Two – I have thoughts but I will let it explain to me.

    Mystery Three – If frost was on the window, how did Mr. Fiend see the light on in the study. He obviously killed po’ Old Mr. Teddy…lol…

    Did I get the two right, did I, did I? :-)

    M1 = The maid (mail is not delivered on Sunday).
    M2 = The man shot at his reflection in the mirror.
    M3 = How did Mr. Fiend see a light on in the study if frost on the window kept him from seeing inside the house? Hmm…sounds a little fishy to me (smile). No wonder he ended up in handcups.

    …oops the last word in M3 should be handcuffs, although handcups has a certain ring to it. (LOL).
