Solve mildly challenging puzzles to unlock the mystery.
Criminal Among Criminals
Within the confines of a men's prison cell, six criminals coexisted. In a shocking turn of events, Dan Danger (45) was found murdered in the dead of night, smothered by his own pillow. Despite signs of a struggle, the assailant's strength surpassed the victim's. The cell was secured from the outside, and all five remaining cellmates insist they were fast asleep during the incident. In this three-part mystery, can you uncover the identity of the killer?
