Nope, incorrect. I was having a really hard time trying to realize the answer... and it was (is) very easy.

[Akonyl]

Lol  no, that's not the answer.

sounds right to me! D:

Why did A told C to fire old B?

Spoiler:

The night-watchman said he had had a dream that night.  That meant he was sleeping on the job. 

[Kogorou]

Hehe...
that's what I wanted to say form the start

[xpon]

is that the truth answer?

[Kogorou]

Haven't heard from eworm yet.
Where is that guy ?

[Akonyl]

having looked up the riddle online, I'm pretty sure that's the answer you're supposed to get, so you should just post a new one anyway.

[c-square]

Okay, here's the next one then:

101 - 102 = 1

By moving only one digit, make the equation correct.  You may not move or alter the minus sign, nor the equals sign.  You also may not exchange two numbers, as that would be moving two digits.

Spoiler:

101 - 10² = 1

[c-square]

Spoiler:

101 - 10² = 1

That was quick!  Your turn.

I use this because it's cool

Monday Morning at Beika University, a dead body was found by the janitor. The victim is Prof. Windshield (57 y.o). The victim was last seen on sunday evening on a work group with his assistants.

The names of his Assistant is:
1. Fumiko Nishino, Female, 21 y.o
2. Sasaki Kitaoji, Male, 23 y.o
3. Nagare Higashion, Female, 21 y.o
4. Tomochi Minami, Male, 22 y.o

After Further investigations, it's revealed that the victim died because of 3 stabbing wound in his back. When he was found, his right hand is clenching tightly around a world map. the map stained with blood. His Left hand was inside his pants pocket and holding 3 more items but none of them is blood stained. The 3 item are a booklet with a sunrise picture, a photo of him looking at sunset, and a ticket for FIFA World CUP 2010 final match.

The Police want to check the Alibi of all suspect (the janitor and all 4 assistant) but Suddenly Conan came and say that there is only 1 person who need to be interrogated.

The police, Kogorou (Oi!) and all the suspect were shocked...


Do you know who the culprit is?

[eworm]

Sorry for not being around a bit. Of course the c-square's answer for my riddle was correct.

Was the weapon left at the crime scene? Did the situation happen before or after FIFA World Cup 2010? Is any knowledge of Japanese required to solve the riddle?

[xpon]

The weapon is there but no fingerprint was found.
The situation is 2011 so after the World Cup 2010.
Little knowledge of Japanese would help.

[c-square]

Some helpful Japanese tips:
Nishi means West
Kita means North
Higashi means East
Minami means South

Spoiler: Other possibly relevant info

One of the pictures was of a sunrise, which happens in the east.  The other picture was of him facing west, looking at a sunset.  The 2010 World Cup was held in South Africa in 2010, and the final match was between Spain and the Netherlands, with Spain winning 1-0.

Hmm...

[eworm]

Okay... I'll leave aside how absurd it was for the victim to have such items in his pockets, especially the one year-old ticket...

Spoiler: Deductions

So my guess is that the bloodstained map the victim was holding onto was his way of indicating the dying message is about the directions - NWES. The three items in his pocket - sunrise booklet, sunset photo and the ticket - were pointing to the East, West and South respectively, so there's a lack of a North-item. Maybe it was taken by the culprit which would mean it was Sasaki Kitaoji - the assistant with the North in his name - who killed the professor. Even though I'm still suspicious of the janitor.
