The daily life of American drama detective

Chapter 101 This Shouldn't Be an Interrogative Sentence
"We never target anyone."

Chuck said calmly: "I mean if the gap in IQ can give people a sense of bullying and be retaliated against, then everyone here will be suspicious."

The police detectives who were watching the excitement and laughing suddenly stopped laughing.

"So you're saying you're smarter than us?"

The handsome young police detective Jack Peralta looked around at his colleagues, and playfully asked the question that everyone had the same hatred.

"This should not be a question sentence."

Chuck corrected seriously.

"..."

Detective Jack Peralta couldn't help seeing Chuck's calm expression.

If it were an ordinary person, if he asked this sentence, it would make the other party panic and defend under the pressure of everyone, especially the police detectives, but the other party obviously didn't accept this kind of trick.

"Okay, Detective Peralta, the inspector asked us to invite Dr. Wolf to come here as a consultant, and it's important to handle the case."

The beautiful Latina police detective next to him answered with a smile: "Dr. Wolfe, I am Amy Santiago, and I am in charge of this case. Because the victim's daily life involves many math problems, I invite you to come over and help us analyze the victim. Let’s see if we can find any clues.”

"it is good."

Now that the annoying police detective didn't bother himself anymore, Chuck didn't continue to reply and started to get down to business.

NYPD is the law enforcement agency with the largest number of people in New York. According to an old fritter bureaucrat, the number is power. NYPD's power in New York is very large, and Chuck is naturally not the first time dealing with them.

Even Detective Jake Peralta is an acquaintance.

Because the other party, nicknamed Detective Annoying, has a bad mouth, but he still has the ability to handle cases. Even in the NYPD with a large number of personnel, he is quite good. If you count unruly, he is among the best.

While flipping through the items collected by NYPD, Chuck asked, "Have you asked his colleagues, relatives and friends?"

"Of course I did."

Detective Jack Peralta laughed and said: "In addition to mathematics in his work and life, he still has mathematics. By the way, there are also lottery tickets and treasure hunts. You mathematicians with super high IQs are also tireless in making money."

"Treasure hunt?"

Chuck looked up. "You mean he also participated in the math treasure hunt?"

"Correct."

Latino police detective Amy Santiago nods: "Dr. Wolf, you know this math scavenger hunt?"

"Well, I've been playing recently too."

Chuck nodded and continued to look through the objects collected by NYPD.

"Is there any reward?"

Detective Amy Santiago asked curiously.

"A bonus of $1 million."

Chuck said.

"A bonus of 1 million US dollars?"

Amy Santiago was dumbfounded: "Are you mathematicians playing games like this? I think we have a criminal motive."

"That's not it."

Chuck shook his head.

"why?"

Detective God Annoyance smiled and said, "Because you are also involved, so you don't want us to investigate this clue and disturb your fun?"

"Yes, and neither."

Chuck resorted to Western classics.

"...What is right and what is wrong?"

God bothered the detective to ask.

"Because I'm in it, right."

Chuck said calmly: "It's wrong not to want you to investigate this clue to disturb our fun. It's not because you're afraid of disturbing our fun, but it's pointless to pursue this clue."

"Why doesn't it make sense?"

The annoying police detective retorted: "This is a bonus of 100 million US dollars. On the street, this money is enough to kill 10,000 people. Or do you mean that you mathematicians are all rich and don't even look down on this 100 million?"

"If you get it, it's 100 million."

Chuck looked at him: "How can the money that is destined to be out of hand be a motive for killing?"

"How do you know he can't get it?"

The annoying police detective slapped his head: "Oh, I understand, because you also participated, and you, the most powerful mathematician, joined, so this bonus must belong to you, not others, so it is considered to be a murder. Fighting for the bonus, should I kill you first?"

"It's still the same sentence, it shouldn't be an interrogative sentence here."

Chuck said straightforwardly.

"Dr. Wolf, do you have any other clues?"

Detective Amy Santiago was also a little speechless by Chuck's self-confidence and straightforwardness, but she was much gentler than the confrontational Detective Annoyed, and there must be two consultants who could be specially invited by the detective It's a case involving mathematicians, and now they are confused and need professionals to help them sort out their clues.

"Have!"

At this time, Chuck had already looked through the objects collected by the NYPD victim: "Lottery tickets, the victim's colleague said that he likes lottery tickets, but there is no relevant research record here."

"Lottery tickets?"

The annoying detective couldn't help laughing: "You mean to say that the victim figured out how to win the lottery, and then was targeted for murder, and the research records were taken away by the murderer? I don't read much, don't you Lie to me, the lottery winning rate is only one in tens of millions, it is completely random, how can it be possible to win the lottery through mathematical calculations?"

"Large lotteries with great influence, such as Powerball, Mega Millions and other lotteries, have been designed by professionals because of their wide distribution range, and there are not many loopholes to exploit."

Chuck calmly said: "But there are various types of lotteries in the United States, and the local small lottery games issued in various states and regions are also different. Not all of them are logically rigorous, especially some newly issued games may have mathematical loopholes.

By studying the rules and doing mathematical calculations, the theoretical winning rate can be increased from one in ten million to one in thousand, greatly increasing the winning rate, and then buying all these thousands of copies according to the results can theoretically guarantee winning the jackpot .

Of course, the premise is that the publisher does not cheat, such as delaying recording and broadcasting to announce the results.

Otherwise, it's useless if God comes to play.

As a lottery player proficient in mathematics, the victim must have records of mathematical calculations for various lotteries.

But there is no record here.

If it wasn't for your mistakes in handling the case and not collecting all the victim's belongings, then it must have been taken away by the murderer. "

"It must be this!"

Detective Amy Santiago's eyes lit up: "All we collected in the victim's home and office are here. There are no past lottery tickets in either place. It is impossible for the murderer to be so boring as to take those expired lottery tickets that have no value. Take it away, and the murderer did this, he must be afraid that the lottery ticket stubs will appear, which will arouse our suspicion and follow this clue."

Having said that, she looked teasingly at the annoying detective who didn't speak much: "Detective Peralta, what do you think?"

"There is a certain truth, but the line of mathematical treasure hunting still cannot be ruled out."

The annoying detective shrugged.

"I'm going to investigate the repeat wins of various lotteries in the neighborhood right now."

Detective Amy Santiago is excited to investigate.
