Did her murderer reside near her, or were they there by the nature of their employment?

Were they present (within, say, 25 meters) when she died?

Aha.

Did Mary happen to work in a circus or other establishment?

Did her new height happen to throw off the aim of a practised marksman?

So:

Mary is a knife-thrower's assistant (or archer's assistant).  Her new high-heeled shoes put her head off target, and a knife (or arrow) stabbed her in the head after travelling at a high velocity.  The murderer was the knife-thrower (or archer).

~CASE SOLVED~

Mary is a knife-thrower's assistant (or archer's assistant).  Her new high-heeled shoes put her head off target, and a knife (or arrow) stabbed her in the head after travelling at a high velocity.  The murderer was the knife-thrower (or archer).
Good enough, YES

Mary was the wife and assistant of a knife thrower.
Their performance involved the husband throwing knifes while blindfolded.
She bought new high-heeled shoes, but didn't tell him because she wanted it to be a surprise.
So the man aimed just like he was used to, and hit Mary directly in the head, killing her.


Nice job solving that one.
Oh, I love that riddle.
It's so mean~
And for those wondering, I answered the man might be related to her buying the shoes
because I suspect it might be his money Mary is spending.  :V
ANyway, why wait when we can continue at once.
Next will be a really weird riddle, as you will see from its description already.
Have fun~




Twentyseventh Case: The One-Armed Men
A man put a severed arm into a package and shipped it.
The package arrived at the one-armed men, who threw the content into the sea, satisfied

Was the severed arm a human arm?

Was there anything significant or identifying on the severed arm?

Does this involve the cover-up of a crime?

Of course, this is all assuming that the severed arm does not belong to the one-armed man... men? Wait, what?
There was something here once. Wonder what...

Why the hell are there that many one-armed men in the same place

Was the arm sent the sender's arm?

Was the same package received by the one-armed group, containing that arm?

Was there anything else of importance in the package?

Was this some sort of hazing/initiation rital?

Fucking English language.

Was the sent arm removed in an accident? The receiving men?

Does the sender have one arm?

Is the location of either the sender or receiver relevant (aside from the 'ocean' part)?

Was it part of a burial at sea...?

Sorry; Receiving mens' arms.

Thusly, were the missing arms of the men receiving the arm-containing package lost due to one or more accidents?

Have you been tricksey about grammar in any of your other answers >:|?

Was the sent arm removed by force?

Was the sent arm removed due to the same cause as the receiving mens' missing arms?

Is the (original) owner of the arm - the person that it came off of - relevant?

Is "content" a typo in the question description, or is grammar raspberrying me again?

does riddle matter if there is only one one-armed man instead of men?

Is the fact that they have one arm significant?

Is this the future?

Do they have robotic arm?

Was the arm the receiver  got the right arm? And was he right armed?

A man wants to join THE ONE-ARMED MEN group, but he must first prove that he is qualified to join the group -- he must send his own severed arm to prove he's ONE-ARMED. The leader received that arm package and is satisfied with the proof.

I don't even know what I'm getting at.  :V

That is clearly the one and only true answer.

Was the shipping of the arm done for medical or scientific reasons?
I do not recall if this was asked before so: is the arm unusual in any way, beyond being a severed arm?

YES

Not really, NO. There is one or two things you can discover about that person, but it's not relevant

Quote

Eh? The 'content of the package', is there anything wrong with that?

It could work the same way with only one man, but it makes more sense with a group.

Definitely YES

Was the arm the man's bait for fishing sharks?
Was it food for their pet piranhas in sea...?

Could it be thrown into somewhere else other than the sea?

Was throwing into the sea simply a way of disposing the arm?

Were they being one-armed related to their occupation?

Was severing the arm some kind of punishment?
