A man was killed on Sunday morning. His wife found the body and called the police. The police arrived and questioned the chef, maid, butler, and gardener. Their alibis were:
Chef – making breakfast
Maid – getting mail
Butler – setting table
Gardener – watering plants
The police immediately arrested the criminal. Who was it and how did they know?
I knew it was the maid first I thought it was the chef because of a riddle very similar but it was the afternoon and he was making breakfast but I re-read it and realized easily it was the maid Watson you must observe
Who said that there is NO mail on Sunday?
Where does it indicate that the maid picked mail of SAME day?
WHERE does it indicates WHERE the crime took place?
IF the crime was in Israel than there is mail on Sunday.
It was NOT the MAID, but rather the WIFE.
WIFE called police IMMEDIATELY to report it BUT was READING A BOOK IN BED IN THE MORNING?
The mail could have come on Saturday and she was just picking it up on Sunday.
The riddle says that that the Butler claimed he was polishing the silver. “The police instantly arrested the murderer.”..
“The police instantly arrested the murderer.”.. then if it was the wife, the police would not have interviewed the cook. If it was the cook then the police would not have gotten to the Gardener. If it was the Gardener then the police would not have gotten to the maid. If it was the maid the Butler would have never been questioned. As the police arrested the murderer immediately, then I would have to guess it was the Butler.

It was the maid.
You can tell because of a Harry Potter quote I love.
“””There’s no post on Sundays!”””

The maid because “there’s no post on Sundays,” (Vernon Dursley)

She said she was getting the mail. In the UK we have the Sunday Mail newspaper. Maybe she’s innocent!

My guess would be the Butler…
The mail could have come on Saturday and she was just picking it up on Sunday.

The answer is Man. Because the question was who was murdered .
