A Deadly Idea



Stage Two Round One

Summary
Mr. Readsalot, an esteemed publisher, was found dead at 11 AM. The most likely suspect? Mr. Purpleprose, a terrible, violent novelist who had been rejected 1000 times by Mr. Readsalot. The room was locked from the inside when the crime was discovered. You do not have access to the autopsy report.

Solution
Mr. Purpleprose dosed the lightbulb in Mr. Readsalot's lamp with a poison. When the bulb heated up, the poison became a gas that killed Mr. Readsalot.

Mastermind Filter created the mystery, because it depends on poisonous gas. Mastermind Drender imitated the mystery, but the type of gas she used forced Mr. Readsalot into a contorted shape.
