----- Previous answer(A Will Written in Ashes)-----

Culprit: Richard Cole

Motive: Richard Cole murdered Arthur Blackwood to hide his manipulation of the inheritance documents and prevent Arthur from revealing his illegal changes to the family records.

Deduction Logic – The Burning Will Mystery:

The locked room was only a distraction. The missing will page proved that someone had entered the study before it was sealed. The burned paper fragments matched Richard's legal documents, connecting him directly to the destroyed will page. As Arthur's lawyer, Richard was the only person who fully understood the inheritance details and had access to the documents.

Crime Reconstruction:

Before dinner, Richard entered Arthur's study under the excuse of reviewing documents. After Arthur discovered the truth about the altered records, Richard killed him and removed the important will page.

He burned the page in the fireplace, locked the study, and attempted to make the crime look like an impossible locked-room mystery.

Conclusion:

The missing will page, burned evidence, and connection to the legal documents prove that the murder was carefully planned.

Richard Cole is the killer.
