wish I could delete this one

Nothing new? Major hint. The code letter B appears 20 times and is likely the most frequent letter. So figure out what it is. It must be a vowel. You already now the E is R, so B is one of the following:A I O U and another hint. The most frequent vowels are  E A O in that order followed by I U and Y. Now go for it.

Try B as A. Maybe then it will become easy

S=R, I=H, R=E, O=F, G=I, D=L, B=Z=A

Now what?

[MDavid]

Thank you for telling the answer. I am sorry for not solving it. I think I can prepare a short mystery case if you all don't mind. You can expect it soon, not very soon but soon.

A simple one how many post will it take to get this thread to page 200?

[Jefufuh]

maybe 10 more.

[sstimson]

I feel I need to add a question to the above. From here, it might indeed take nine post, but how many days is it going to take to get those nine posts?

[Kogorou]

Wow nearly 200 pages.
Thanks sstimson for keeping this alive.
Every month I wish I had more time but due to my commitments I can't really make it

[sstimson]

Your welcome. (7?) to go?

As promised here is a short mystery case. It is a bit absurd but not that complicated. Better than nothing I guess.

As Conan was walking home from school, he ran into a crime scene once again.

Detective Takagi was investigating a man's dead body under an apartment building.

"Hello Takagi-keiji, what happened here?"

"Oh, hi Conan-kun. It seems this young man fell from the building. Oh, this time don't run around on the crime scene! Just go home."

But Conan was already heading to that high floor where the police fuss came from.

The room was full of working tech stuff and cables all across it. And a young woman was on the floor, also dead.

"Cause of death is a hit on the head with a blunt object. There is no blood spilt. Weapon has not been found yet. The murderer committed suicide."

Inspector Megure stated.

It turned out that the young couple's neighbour, an old lady heard the husband cry out his last words:

"My wife, I killed her."

Then he jumped.

"Ne-ne lady, what kind of people were they?"

"They were nice. The young man was obsessed with his gadgets. Also he was very sensitive. Somehow we always had funny conversations. Like when he asked me if I had blue tooth. I said yes, because I just had some blueberry jam. Oh I can't believe he murdered her..."

Conan decided to search the web, but when he couldn't connect to the internet on his phone, he realised what really happened.

Can you find out the sad truth?

How 'absurd' is the solution?

Spoiler:

I'm pretty sure the husband meant "My wifi killed her."
So maybe she was hit by the router/modem or something...

Yes! Very good!

It is reasonable but no. You are on the right track though.

Read again the circumstances, any word can be useful. Give me deductions!

Spoiler:

As this involves, Bluetooth, Wifi, and likely 4G(?), and one is on top of a building, and the other jumped from it, It leads me to ask why would she be there, and the answer I get is the Building has or had a cell tower. How about this idea: It like a great show that might only happen once is on TV. After making the TV tuned the best you can, it is still not enough, and you either get a very grainy picture, or only snow. So you go up on the roof to see if you can fix the problem, and like so many comic scenes, you end up almost falling off with the antenna before the picture comes in prefect.

I guess that some event is happening on line now and this is not only a once in a lifetime event, but also a life changing event. However, like the TV, the event can not be seen because the Wifi is down. She might be receiving a very week 4G signal, and like TV come to the source to try and fix it. Only for it to go wrong and she gets killed. Or maye they are putting up an antenna to improve the Signal, how ever the BOOM hit and kills her because he lost control of it for a brief moment (anyone who has sailed, and Jived, know how hard a metal pole can hit you [WEAR A HELMENT])

The wife may have tripped because of one of those cables (though I'm not sure if she could die from it...), also causing the internet to be disconnected.
