Famous columnist Max Worthington was found deceased at his manual typewriter, fatally stabbed in the back. His agent, Roger, found his body when he went to check on Max to see why he hadn't submitted his latest column. He then called the police, and the dispatcher sent Detective Sing to investigate. Detective Sing noticed that Max had apparently been writing his column when he was killed and that the last thing typed was "49t34 w5qgg3e j3," apparently a random string of numbers and letters created when his lifeless body slumped forward onto the typewriter.

Detective Sing questioned the people closest to Worthington and found several suspects: Max's ex-wife, Marisa, had been feuding with him over alimony payments she felt entitled to, despite his offer of the mansion they had shared, plus a generous lump-sum payment; Max's current girlfriend, Jillian, was a beautiful young woman but was seemingly high maintenance and seemed to miss his money more than him; and Max's brother, Gerald, was happy his brother was dead, as Max had stolen Marisa away from him, and Gerald was intent on winning her back.

Detective Sing concluded his investigation and quickly made an arrest - who did he take into custody?

What is Max's agent, Roger, was arrested. Detective Sing had looked at Max's last written message again and discovered that the columnist had typed out the identity of his murderer, but his fingers had been one line up on the keys from where they should have been. Instead of writing "Roger stabbed me," he had written "49t34 w5qgg3e j3."?
