Difference between revisions of "Category:Impossible Crime Cases"

Impossible Crime (Japanese: 不可能犯罪) technically refers to crime phenomena that aren't logical and feasible in practise, or, more accurately, resonable for a human being to cause them. There are many mystery novels that demonstrate this type of crime, for example, Edgar Allan Poe]]'s The Murders in the Rue Morgue (also known for being the first mystery novel to ever exist).

There are several ways to create a seemingly impossible crime:

• Disappearance of Footprints: The victim was murdered and tossed onto a place (which can be on the snow or on the beach) where the surroundings don't see any traces of footprints. (Example: Magic Lover's Murder Case)

• Locked Room Murders: The victim was murdered in an enclosed room where there are no exits (sometimes it can be a visual illusion). The culprit must have used some gimmicks and tricks to make the door of that locked room lock. (Example: A Cursed Mask Coldly Laughs)

• Alibi Testimony: By utilising the time differences and fiatus, the culprit might be able to ingeniously manipulate time and fabricate themselves an ablibi in order to exclude themselves from the suspect list. (Example: Alibi Testimony Murder Case)

• Impossible Disappearance: This refers to the situation where the victim or the culprit dissapears, making the case exceedingly puzzling. (Example: Missing Corpse Murder Case)

The following is a list of cases that all accord with the description of "impossible crime".
