Sansa’s Murder Mystery – The Cipher on the Floor

It was a cold evening in Central Park, New York. The peaceful environment became terrible when Sansa was discovered dead on the park floor.

However, Sansa was able to leave a hint behind before her death.

With her trembling hands, she wrote a strange word in Cipher on the ground:

“Dqvxf”

There were four primary suspects in this case:

1. Pedro

2. William

3. Costa

4. Harry

One of them is the real culprit. The police were confused. They used various decoding methods and did not find the explanation of the meaning of this Cipher word.

They summoned over with no report on the murder enigma, the brilliant Detective Mr Cassano. He got to the place of the crime, deciphered the Cipher cautiously and in a minute, he cracked the message. Immediately, he ordered the arrest of the murderer.

But who was the real culprit? Take a moment. Think carefully. Observe patterns.

What could “dqvxf” mean?

As we know, before Sansa died, she was able to leave a clue. Can you decode Sansa’s final message and identify the murderer before reading the solution?

So, I hope many of you have decoded this mystery and know who the real culprit is in this murder case.

Okay, now those who were not able to identify the real Culprit, they also do not worry. Practice these puzzles and riddles, and your IQ level, thinking skills, and problem-solving skills will be increased.

Solution: Who is the real Culprit?

So, are you excited to know who the real culprit is in this Mysterious murder case? Okay, now go back to the crime scene, and analyse the clue written by Sansa, “dqvxf” once again.

At first glance, this word looks very random word, but if you notice, then the real culprit's name is hidden in this word only.

Okay, now let’s decode it step by step:

1. C + 1 character → D

2. O + 2 characters → Q

3. S + 3 characters → V

4. T + 4 characters → X

5. A + 5 characters → F

Do you see the pattern? Each letter of a name has been shifted forward in increasing order — first by 1, then 2, then 3, then 4, then 5.

Now read the original letters carefully: C O S T A

Yes! Costa was the real culprit in this murder mystery case. So, I think, along with Detective Cassano, you have also discovered who the real murderer is.

Well done to those who solved it! Keep practising more mystery riddles like this to sharpen your logical and analytical skills. 🕵️‍♂️🔍
