HARD RIDDLES Options

[Azn Kid from NY]

post some really hard riddles, heres mine:

a detective found a dead man sitting at his desk with a gun in his hand, and a tape recorder was on his desk...the detective came in and picked up the tape recorder and pressed the play button...he heard "i am sick of my life. i have no purpose to live" and then a gunshot.

the detective instantly knew it was murder, not suicide. how?

I have four wings, but I cannot fly, I never laugh and never cry; On the same spot I'm always found, toiling away with little sound. What am I?

A windmill?

A windmill?

Indeed!

When Inspector Winters slammed on the brakes, Dr. Haledjian would have been pitched through the windshielf had he not been wearing his seat belt.
The reason for the inspector's sudden stop was horribly evident.
A red sports care had come racing around the hairpin turn on the mountain road ahead. Out of control, the car had crashed through the gardrail.
The impact didn't stop the car, but it flung the driver straight up. He seemed to hang in the air a moment before plunging out of sight.
Haledjian and the inspector scrambled down the two hundred-foot precipice.
The driver's body was a shattered mass of broken bones and blood. About one hundred feet beyond, a sports car lay on its side, a total wreck.
"Strange," muttered the inspector, pointing to the seat belt, obviously unused, which lay in the fresh blood that covered the driver's bucket seat.
"I doubt that even a sear belt could have saved his life," said Haledjian.
"I'd better telephone the state police," said the inspector, "It looks like one more traffic fatality for the year. Do you think he fell asleep on the wheel?"
"No," said HAledjian. "He was murdered."

Why murder?

Indeed!

Strange indeed. The driver was thrown out of the car before falling. How could blood have possibly gotten onto the seat?

I love you too.

Wow, you're a smart one. And you have a really nice body. Sweet.

"At 8 AM on Monday, March 4, 1968, you were drinking coffee in a rear booth in the Sandwich Shop at the airport?" asked the district attorney.
"I was," answered McCarthy, the murder defendant.
"And you didn't see the man in the booth across the aisle - not five feet from you - stabbed to death!"
"No, I was reading the local morning newspaper."
"The cashier remembers you. You were in an awful hurry. You gave her a half-dollar in payment for a 15-cent check, and you didn't wait for your change."
"I had to catch a plane."
"You were aware of the time, but you didn't notice the man in the next booth was dead - with a knife sticking out of his chest?"
"I might have seen him, but I never looked directly at him."
"You didn't hear him order eggs and coffee?"
"I might have. I don't remember. I was busy reading the New York Stock Exchange listings. I own some shares."
"How long did that take you?"
"A couple of minutes. Then I read the market news. There was a long article forecasting steel prospects for next year. After I finished reading the article, I noticed the time. I had less than two minutes to catch my plane to Los Angeles."
In the rear of the courtroom, Dr. Haledjian leaned over and whispered to Inspector Winters: "If he isn't convicted of murder, he'll draw a stiff sentence for perjury."

How come?
