\Topic: 【One-Minute Case Solving】The Computer Left On
Content: A computer expert who develops software had recently failed several times and felt discouraged, so he hid away in his villa alone. One day, his family found him dead beside his computer and immediately reported it to the police. When the police arrived at the villa, they found the computer still on, with a suicide note displayed on the screen, and a coffee cup tipped over on the desk. Tests revealed that the coffee was poisoned. Additionally, the computer plug on the floor was not connected. The time of death was two days ago. Question: Was this a murder or a suicide? How would you determine it? (Solve the case in one minute!)

Also, what they were likely talking about was a laptop. Although it can use a battery, it died after two days; a laptop doesn't have that kind of lasting power... unless it was a dual-core, long-lasting performance portable laptop, but that shouldn't be possible, so it must be murder.
The fact that the computer can operate without being plugged in indicates that it has a built-in battery, but the battery cannot last for two days, which suggests that the suicide note is forged. The murderer is likely the first person who discovered it.\This is all I can gather from the text.
This is a murder. He has a family and had little tendency to commit suicide, and even if he did commit suicide, there would be no need to hide. The coffee was poured out, indicating a struggle, and the struggle also shows that he did not know the coffee was poisoned. The computer was on; he had been dead for two days, and a laptop would not stay on for that long. The plug was not connected, which means he was not using the computer before. The computer at the scene and the suicide note were prepared by the murderer. The primary suspect is his family member who found him, as family members can easily approach to poison him and know his whereabouts.
Reason: This kind of one-minute crime-solving cannot be thought of according to common sense. Finished.
How is the computer with the suicide note on it turned on when the plug on the ground isn't connected?
Homicide, the computer was on, but the plug wasn't inserted. Obviously, the suicide note was forged. Moreover, if someone wants to commit suicide, drinking coffee is still better compared to euthanasia, but the coffee was spilled, you know.
So it was a murder. The killer moved the victim's body to that room, and obviously, the will was also forged.
After briefly looking at this story, I decided to buy a dual-core, long-lasting laptop in the future, so it would be convenient for suicide... and it can also be on standby.
