Here's a pretty good/long one.
Detective Shadow got a about Mary Sue being away from work and has not been seen anywhere. In her house all the lights are turned off and no one has been seen going in and out of the house since last week, whom was Sir Shady, which is Mary Sue's father. Detective Shadow calls Sir Shady to the Mary Sue's house asking him to bring a spare key to open the front door. It's night time and there's no light inside or outside the house as they enter. Sir Shady flips the light switch on and in the hall lies Mary Sue's body lying all over the floor. In awe, both Detective Shadow and Sir Shady walk around the body. Sir Shady accidentally trips over the leg of Mary Sue's.
"This is quite interesting." Detective Shadow said noticing the marks around her neck and arms. Suddenly the lights go out. Sir Shady and Detective Shadow both go back to the beginning of the hall where they first were. Detective Shadow flips the light switch on back and forth but nothing happens.
"Let's try the next light." Sir Shady says as he goes down the hall and flips the light. The lights go back on as he does so. "Who would ever do this to my baby?" Sir Shady says.
The next day Detective Shadow has Sir Shady arrested for murder.
How does Detective Shadow know is was Sir Shady?

(These are completely two different riddles btw.))
Detective Shadow gets a call from Sir Shady investigate the Victor Mansion. Mary Sue, Victor's wife, has been away on vacation where she too gets the call. Mary Sue and Detective Shadow both enter the house together as they see Victor dead in his study room. In his left hand holds a gun and in his right hand a tape recorder where his head lies on the stop button.
"My husband, my husband! Why has he killed himself?!" Mary Sue shouts in terror. Detective Shadow walks over to Victor and takes the tape recorder. He presses play and the recorder starts:
"My business has gone bankrupt, my two sisters and my parents have been murdered by a suspicious murderer running through our family. I fear I am next so I figure to beat him to it. Mary Sue, I love you." A gunshot is heard with a gasp from Victor's mouth making his death. You can hear the shuffling of his hair against the speaker as his head lies against the stop button.
"You didn't need to kill yourself.." Mary Sue says breathless.
"Victor did not kill himself. I suspect murder." Detective Shadow Announces.
Why does he suspect this?

Why does he suspect this?
For the first riddle:
Sir Shady trips over Mary Sue's body when the lights were on as they passed the body.
When the lights went out they crossed the body again.
This time Sir Shady didn't trip over her.
How would he know how to maneuver around the body in the dark but in the light he 'trips'.
Second Riddle:
Detective Shadow flips play immediately and the tape recorder starts.
How can someone who killed himself remember to rewind the tape?
