Elliot the detective heard the news of a double murder that occurred on a train.
"The driver and the conductor were on the opposite ends of the train, but both were shot at the same time", reported a policeman who was at the center of the train at the time. The policeman had heard both gunshots at the same time. The train was travelling 150 kilometers per hour. Elliot immediately realized that the driver and the conductor were not killed at the same time. How is it so?

The Doppler effect. It takes more time for the sound to reach you from one end of the train than from the other.

The train is traveling...therefore if both shots were fired at the same time he would have heard the shot from the front of the train first, then the shot from the rear of the train.

Because if they were shot at the same time, he wouldnt have heard both the gun shots, only one.
