Answer & Explanation:
When the detective went on each floor it is said in the riddle that he opened the window first, which means the windows were closed.
If the man had committed suicide, the window that he jumped from should have been left opened.
But all the windows facing the dead body were closed.
This means that someone closed the window after the man died.
