1
In 1910, a man died in a locked room.
2
No one came in.
3
No one went out.
4
What happened?
5
In 1910, in a small town in England, there was a quiet man named Mr. James Blackwell.
6
He was 50 years old.
7
He lived alone in a small house.
8
He was not married.
9
He had no children.
10
Mr. Blackwell worked in a library.
11
He liked books, tea, and silence.
12
He was polite but very private.
13
People in town said he is a good man.
14
But he likes to be alone.
15
On November 18th, Mr. Blackwell did not come to work.
16
His co-workers waited, but he never arrived.
17
They went to his house.
18
They knocked on the door.
19
No answer.
20
They called the police.
21
When the police came, they saw something strange.
22
The door was locked from the inside.
23
The windows were closed and locked.
24
There was no broken glass.
25
Everything looked normal.
26
They broke the door and went inside.
27
Inside, they found Mr. Blackwell.
28
He was lying on the floor in his study.
29
He was not alive.
30
But, there was no blood, no knife, no gun.
31
It looked like he just fell down.
32
But one thing was very strange.
33
On the table, there was an open book.
34
It was an old book about mystery stories.
35
And in that book, there was a story about a locked room.
36
The story in the book was just like what happened.
37
A man alone in a room.
38
The door is locked.
39
The man is dead.
40
But nobody went in.
41
Nobody went out.
42
The police checked everything again.
43
The door was locked.
44
The key was inside the room.
45
The windows were locked from inside.
46
No secret door.
47
No stairs to the roof.
48
So, they asked how did he die?
49
Did someone come in?
50
How? And why?
51
The town doctor came.
52
He looked at the body.
53
After one hour, the doctor said he did not die from poison.
54
He did not fall.
55
His heart just stopped.
56
But Mr. Blackwell was healthy.
57
He did not have heart problems.
58
The doctor said, I do not understand.
59
This is strange.
60
There was no fight.
61
No noise.
62
No fear.
63
The room was clean.
64
The book was open.
65
The tea was still hot.
66
It looked like Mr. Blackwell just sat down, read the book, and then he was gone.
67
The police asked questions.
68
Did someone hate Mr. Blackwell?
69
No. Did someone want his money?
70
No. Did someone come to visit?
71
No one saw anyone.
72
There was no suspect.
73
No clue.
74
No answer.
75
The story was in the newspaper, man found dead in locked room.
76
Mystery in quiet town.
77
Some people said it was his heart.
78
Maybe bad luck.
79
Others said maybe the book was cursed.
80
Some believed Mr. Blackwell knew something.
81
Something secret.
82
Something that someone wanted to hide.
83
But nobody knew the truth.
84
In 1941, 31 years later, a new family bought the house.
85
They cleaned the attic.
86
They found old letters and a journal.
87
In the journal, there was a note written by Mr. Blackwell.
88
He wrote, I feel someone is watching me.
89
I do not know why.
90
I found a secret in one of the books at the library.
91
I think it is important.
92
But now I am afraid.
93
The journal ended there.
94
No more pages.
95
Nobody knows what the secret was.
96
Maybe he found something old, something powerful.
97
Maybe someone followed him.
98
But the truth stayed in that locked room.
99
The door was locked.
100
The windows were closed.
101
And the mystery was never answered.
