A famous concert pianist was found poisoned in his dressing room. Three people had visited him: his manager, his agent, and his tuner. Each brought a gift: the manager brought a fresh cup of black coffee, the agent brought a bouquet of fresh roses, and the tuner brought a sleek metal tuning fork. Detective Ross arrested one of them immediately upon learning the pianist was strictly allergic to caffeine. Who was the killer?
The manager
The manager brought a cup of coffee. Since the pianist was strictly allergic to caffeine, bringing coffee was a direct attempt to poison or trigger his fatal allergy.
