We arrived on a Thursday afternoon on September 22, 2017, after hearing a shot inside Ernie’s lunchroom.Upon entering, We identified the body as a prominent racketeer named Fannin. He was found lying face down on his stomach. There were three sets of footprints on the floor (X, Y, and Z).The footprints were going into the different directions: one walking towards the kitchen, one walking behind the counter, and one walking towards the back of the lunchroom. There was also a right-hand imprint on the wall next to the mop and bucket.The imprint is in clear view. The cash register has just been rung up at $8.75.

We noticed that B, and D have their silverware and cups on the right side and that C is the only person with his silverware and cups on the left side. This indicates that he is the only left-handed person in the cafe.

As a rule, the owner or employee of a lunchroom is the one who is supposed to be cleaning and working at the counter Lastly, footprints X belongs to the murderer.Because Footprints X are walking out of the crime scene.As a rule, People who commit crimes tend to leave the crime scene.We can expect that after hearing the shot, Ernie and the other three clients fled with scurrying, leaving the cash register open, and individual A, going to begin eating his/her food, run into the kitchen. This can be upheld by looking at footprints "Y" and "Z" expecting they are Ernie's and client
