[Vote] The Chemist’s Final Formula - Detective Game

🧪 These Numbers... What Message Did It Try to Convey? 🔢

📕Story Background

Brooke is a famous chemist. He is very passionate about reading the periodic table of elements. He believes that each element serves diverse meanings. Brooke lectures at the university, where he excels in imparting chemistry knowledge in a highly accessible manner, earning admiration from his peers. However, tragedy struck unexpectedly one day when Brooke was discovered murdered in his office. A knife was found lodged in his chest, resulting in fatal blood loss. Beside him were numbers: 26-3-58, evidently a message he left before his untimely death.

The police arrested everyone who entered Brooke's office that day as suspects. They are Jordan, Archibald, Felice, and Maxwell.

People present were very confused when they looked at these numbers. No one knew what these numbers meant at first. Detective Jack on the side looked at the crime scene and fell into deep thought. After learning about Brooke's hobby and combining the items found at the crime scene, Detective Jack suddenly shouted - "Where is XXXX (name of the murderer)? He is the murderer!" Do you know how Detective Jack solved the case?

----- Previous answer (Rules Are Meant To Be Followed) -------

The perpetrator is Bond. He stated that Susan would attend the performance that night, but Susan was found wearing a tight skirt when she died. Playing the cello requires musicians to dress appropriately, as they need to sit with their legs spread apart. Susan wouldn't be wearing a tight skirt if she intended to play the cello. Therefore, Bond's statement is incorrect, indicating that he is the murderer.
