Sherlock breaks into a crime scene that no one has yet entered. The victim is the owner of the property who is slumped dead on a chair and has a bullet hole in his head. A gun lies on the floor by the man's open hand and a cassette recorder is found on the table.

Sherlock smiles. It's not a suicide, of course its a murder.
Why did he think so?
