Was the previous crime actually criminal? or some sort of infidelity? Crime You mentioned a housekeeper/gardener. Are his actions during these three days important to the (solution of the) story? Are his actions before these three days important to the story? It is a housekeeper, and her "actions" (just using it because you use that same word but it's not the best word) are important during the three days but not before. | ||

This is all true although detective is not actually the person's job title, but close enough. But why was evidence being mailed to his house and how did the killer know about it? If you guys want to stop here because you feel it's an illogical leap to figure that out or want a hint, let me know. Were the housekeeper's actions nessecary for the intruder to retrieve the mail? Nope. | ||

Did the intruder meet the victim before by pure chance? Did the victim unknowingly end up telling him about his own case? | ||

Does the owner know that the intruder committed the previous crime? Does the owner know that there is evidence of a crime being sent to him? | ||

No Did the intruder meet the victim before by pure chance? Did the victim unknowingly end up telling him about his own case? No Is the previous crime that the intruder committed relevant? You don't need to know the nature of the crime except that it was serious and people would care. Does the owner know that the intruder committed the previous crime? Yes Does the owner know that there is evidence of a crime being sent to him? Rephrase the question. | ||

Did the owner know of anyone that was in the previous crime? Did the mail come from an anonymous source? | ||

Was the intruder looking for an envelope? Was the intruder looking for a parcel? Did the owner die recently? (Within a week?) Did the owner die far away from home? Did the owner send something to himself? | ||

This is kinda a convoluted question, only just saw this thread now and I love things like this so decided to skip the start and jump to this 4th mystery, it's my attempt at a solution although I've only briefly gone over the questions//answers so i guess if you (the host of this wonderful game) could treat them as lots of mini questions that would be better xD | ||

Almost right, but the owner did not actually expect to die. One simple final step is left that ties it together, answers the reason for sending (your reason might be a secondary consideration), and how the intruder knew and the murder. It doesn't say why the housekeeper doesn't receive it, I'm assuming she works different days/hours or just is at lunch near 11:30. | ||

Was the murder pre-planned or as an impulsive reaction to learning something i.e. on the spur of the moment | ||
