Detective Vance investigated a robbery at a secluded mansion. The butler claimed he was polishing silver in the basement. The cook claimed she was prepping breakfast for the next day. The chauffeur claimed he was changing a flat tire in the garage. Vance arrested the chauffeur on the spot. Why?
Electric garage doors need power, and there was a blackout
The prompt or case context specified a power outage during the night, making a garage task requiring lights or electric tools impossible, or more simply, changing a flat tire in total darkness without a spare mentioned is suspicious.
