Riddle time

Sign in to disble this ad
a detective found a dead man sitting at his desk with a gun in his hand, and a tape recorder was on his desk...the detective came in and picked up the tape recorder and pressed the play button...he heard "i am sick of my life. i have no purpose to live" and then a gunshot.

the detective instantly knew it was murder, not suicide. how?

Whoever solves this riddle gets to post a new one... and so on.

The fact that it was rewound was what gave it away. Darkstrike is right

In the new world of digital voice recorders, this riddle doesn't hold up.

The riddle doesn't specify whether the guy even died from a gunshot wound.
