As I navigated our way through early morning London traffic, Drescher drew invisible diagrams on the dashboard. ‘Locked-room mysteries always appear complex but are in most ways very simple. A person dies inside a locked room – how? There are a finite number of rational solutions. The simplest is obviously suicide.’

‘But we have documented proof – 295 hours of livestream footage – that Narwhal couldn’t have poisoned himself.’

‘This footage has been verified, yes? We know it was not being digitally altered in any way.’ Drescher and I were the old guard – hailing from the days where what was seen could generally be believed.

‘The facts in front of us – as baffling as they appear – are correct. He got into that box. It was lowered slowly down to 250 metres underwater. He stayed there for 13 days, before he collapsed and died due to cyanide poisoning. Everything – everything – was on camera. Techs looked through all the footage and it’s genuine. No cuts, or outages, or tricks. Now can you please tell me where we’re going?’ London was a rabbit warren with a flowing current.

I thought Drescher ignored me at first. ‘We must take suicide off the table for now then. So we return to our next possible solution for a locked-room murder.’

‘Which is?’

‘Someone had a key.’
