Severance Pay



Stage Two Round Four

Summary
Mr. Decapito was found decapitated in the bathroom, with the keycard to his hotel room. His violent business co-founder, Mr. Archimedes, was staying in an adjacent room and was arrested. Both the bathroom and the hotel room were locked from the inside when the crime was discovered. You do not have access to the autopsy report.

Solution
Mr. Archimedes entered the room and knocked Mr. Decapito unconcious. He woke up in the bathroom with a wire noose around his neck and locked himself inside to protect himself. Mr. Archimedes used the doors as a pulley system to hang Mr. Decapito with a razor wire, cutting off his head. Mr. Archimedes then locked the hotel room's keyed doorknob from the inside to create the hotel room locked room.

Mastermind Rigs created the mystery. In Mastermind Filter's imitation, Mr. Archimedes gassed Mr. Decapito to knock him unconscious, instead of bludgeoning him.
