Sun Prison Murder Case

The Sun Prison Murder Case is a locked room murder case that occurred in the Sun Prison seventy years ago. The case became legendary in the detective world as it is said to be an impregnable locked room murder mystery.
==History==
Scotland Yard received a call from a woman. She had just returned from a trip, and her husband was nowhere to be found. Her husband had gone to the Sun Prison to "contact outer space."
The Scotland Yard officer and the wife headed to the Sun Prison. There, they saw him sitting on a chair, but the door was locked and he was unresponsive to their calls. Because the door was, i.a., closed with a sturdy-looking brass bar from the outside, they could not break through the door and broke the window instead. When they managed to get inside, they found the husband dead; he had been tied to the chair and stabbed multiple times. The wife passed out immediately, and the officer returned to Scotland Yard to get reinforcements.
The investigation revealed that the husband had been dead for 48 hours. The officers believed the culprit had hidden inside the fireplace, but, upon inspection, they could not verify that someone had ever been inside it. There were also no mechanisms on the door, and no signs of tampering with the bar. However, the officers found a knife with the fingerprints of the wife's ex-lover on it. The ex-lover had also been seen near the Sun Prison around the time of the murder. He became a suspect, but he disappeared. The wife was a suspect too because she received insurance money from her husband's death; there was no evidence to prove that she killed him though.
Neither the locked-room was solved nor the culprit ever found.
Years later, Fin Fennic, BLUE instructor and the world's leading expert on locked rooms, attempted to solve the mystery, but failed.
===Ron's theory===
Ron Kamonohashi theorizes that the wife's lover was the culprit. After he killed the husband, he did not leave the prison: He locked it and set himself on fire in the fireplace; he burned for days and left a large amount of ash. The lover had killed the husband because he wanted to free the wife from her husband's eccentric behavior. The money she would get from her husband's life insurance would take care of her.
When the wife saw the fireplace and the ash, she realized what had happened. And when the police officer drove back to the station to get backup, she took and hid her lover's bones.
Fin acknowledges that it is a convincing solution. However, due to the lack of physical evidence, it cannot be the declared the official solution.
