The Lunchroom Murder

QUESTION TO ANSWER : Which set of footprints are Ernie’s? What is the evidence?

On an otherwise uneventful Thursday afternoon police heard a shot inside the local bistro, Ernie’s Lunchroom. They rushed in and found the scene shown in Figure 1.4.
They identified the body as that of a prominent racketeer named Fannin. Ernie, who is both the owner and only employee, had only one fact to tell: the murderer had leaned against the wall while firing at point-blank range. The imprint of his hand is in clear view.
The police have also noticed that the cash register had just been rung up at $8.75.
This is a difficult case. Your investigative team must attempt to determine which of the people in the lunchroom killed Fannin. You will have to observe the details carefully. There is enough evidence to help you explain most of what happened. In working out the solution, consider the questions on the following page.

Answer 2

Ernie killed Fannin.
Fannin is a racketeer which is someone who enhances in dishonest business dealing. Most likely something wasn’t goi g ernies way and he grew angry. The floor was being mopped and Ernie is the only one who works their. It would explain why Fannin’s bill wasn’t paid. I think all of the footprints are ernies. He shot Fannin, walked over the wet floor into the back, and came back out without the gun to talk to the police.
