Slip and Trip Report

To the chief of police, 

An accident occurred at the Volupides’ residence, we arrived on the scene at 2:00 A.M. on 20th  September 1920. We found Arthur’s body lying on the end of the stairs, on his back, face-up his legs are on the stairs. Queenie stood beside Arthur’s dead body. Queenie mentioned that Arthur slipped on the stairs and fell when he wanted to take another drink, she also mentioned that the paramedics said that the wound on Arthur’s head is his cause of death.

After conducting a further investigation, it seems like what Queenie said did not support the evidence. The first evidence that what Queenie said isn’t true is that when someone trips on the stairs, they will usually try to reach out and grab the nearest thing that they can hold to. But when we focus on the wall, the displays aren’t even misplaced. In fact, they’re still neatly hanged.

Second, when someone who is holding something fragile trips or falls from the stairs, they will try to let go of the object to grab hold onto something. But the glass was still tightly held in Arthur’s hand, and it’s still whole. While when someone is holding something fragile trips or falls, the fragile object usually break.

When someone trips or falls on a carpet-covered stairs, the carpet are usually messed up, but the carpet on the stairs were not messed up and it’s still neat. There are no paramedics present, according to what Queenie had said, she had contacted the paramedics and the paramedics had came over and states Arthur’s cause of death. But there are no paramedics present. Arthur is lying on his back, face up with his legs on the stairs.

When someone falls down from the stairs, their face and body will be facing the ground. Queenie had also informed that while she was going out to the party, Arthur stayed home. Yet, Arthur is wearing a formal attire underneath his robe. Usually, when someone stayed home they wouldn’t be wearing formal attires. And when we arrive, the stove is still on while it is around 1 A.M. Usually, people cook meals at a reasonable time. 

Based on our investigations and evidences, we can conclude that Arthur didn’t die because he fell from the stairs. We speculate that Arthur was indeed drunk, and Queenie did went ten minutes before her friends did. But she didn’t found him dead. Earlier, they had an argument, and Arthur was drunk that hour, so he can’t control his actions and words. He upsets Queenie, which caused Queenie to hit him repeatedly with a frying pan, which caused the terrible wound on Arthur’s head. She dragged Arthur’s dead body so it seems like he According to the evidences we got, we can conclude that Queenie should be tried so that we can know whether Queenie lied or not.
