1 minute to solve the case

Chapter 26: Resourceful strategy (6)
That afternoon, it was raining heavily, and a thief bought a ticket and walked into the museum.He seemed to be interested in each exhibit, looking very carefully and for a long time, in fact, examining the terrain.As the museum closing bell rang and visitors left, the thieves crept into the toilets and climbed onto the pipes above.In the middle of the night, he came out of the toilet and found out the rules of the guard's patrol.He took the gap between two patrols of the guards and slipped to a display case. Inside this display case was an ivory cup, which was a national treasure in Africa!He used a tool to unlock the window, took the ivory cup and replaced it with a fake ivory cup, and fled back to the toilet.

The next morning, the museum opened, and crowds of visitors poured in.The thieves came out of the toilet and joined the visiting crowd.After a while, he pretended to finish his visit and followed the crowd to the door.It was still raining outside, and he opened his umbrella. At this time, a guard stopped him and asked, "What were you doing hiding in the museum last night?" Why did the guard see that he was hiding in the museum?

It was raining outside, and the umbrellas of other people were wet, but the umbrella of the thief was dry, which meant that he did not come in from outside.

hitchhiker boy
In the hot summer, Sergeant Lake drove a police car and patrolled the streets.In a few minutes, he will be off work.He thought, on the way home, don't forget to buy a big cake, because today is his daughter's birthday!Thinking of his lovely daughter, a happy smile appeared on his face.

Suddenly, the wireless alarm rang: "Sheriff Lake! Sheriff Lake! There was a robbery at the First Bank. The perpetrator fled to Highway A in a red car. The car number is 3008. Immediate support is requested!" Sheriff Lake Immediately, the siren was sounded, and the police car drove at full speed, chasing in the direction of Highway A like lightning.

The police car quickly drove onto Highway A.There were not many vehicles on the highway, and no red car with the number 3008 was found.There is a fork in the road ahead. Should I turn left or right?Sergeant Lake slowed down the speed of the car, unable to make up his mind. At this moment, he saw a young man on the side of the road waving at him.The sheriff stopped the car in front of him and asked, "Have you ever seen a red car?" The young man said, "I'm going to call the police! I'm here waiting for a hitchhiker, and I just saw a red car coming over. It waved, but it rushed over and almost knocked me down, I suspect this car has ghosts!"

Sheriff Lake asked: "Which direction are they going?" The young man pointed to the right and said: "Towards there! Well, you give me a ride, and I will show you the way. I am already standing in the hot sun. It's been half an hour, and I'm exhausted!"

The inspector got the young man into the car and quickly chased him down the road on the right.The young man breathed a sigh of relief, took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket, and broke off half of it to Sergeant Lake.The chocolate was very hard and brittle. Sergeant Lake was chewing and chewing. Suddenly, he slammed on the brakes and said to the young man, "You are the perpetrator!"

Why did Sergeant Lake eat chocolate, but found that the young man was an accomplice of the criminal?

The young man said that he had been in the hot sun for half an hour, but the chocolate hadn't melted yet, which meant that the young man was lying and deliberately waiting at the fork in the road to lead the police car in the wrong direction.

candidate violinist
In the resplendent and resplendent concert hall, the performance is about to begin.In order to ensure the quality of the performance, Gerd and Mariley acted as the principal violinists of the band.Half an hour before each performance, the conductor Fuland temporarily decides who will play on stage.Gerd and Mariley are brothers, and their performance levels are similar, but Gerd is more appreciated by Frante, so he has more chances to perform on stage.

Today's performance, I heard that the most famous violin master will come to watch, Gerd and Marile secretly hope that they can play on stage, if they can get the master's praise, then they will not worry about not being famous in the future.

Half an hour before the performance, Frante made a decision to let Gerd, who played at a higher level, play.After Mr. Gerd heard about it, he immediately went to the dressing room to put on makeup. After putting on makeup, he had to adjust the strings for 3 minutes before he could play.However, just 10 minutes before the opening, it was discovered that Ged was missing!The theater manager and the head of the orchestra were so anxious that they led people to search everywhere. Finally, in the small room where the props were piled up, they found that Ged had been strangled to death.

Inspector Lake came to the scene. At this time, there were still 3 minutes before leaving the scene.In order not to affect the performance, the conductor Frante had no choice but to make Marilee ready to play.Marilei came to the dressing room in a hurry after receiving the notice. While putting on makeup, he said sadly: "Don't worry, I will definitely perform well to mourn my brother!"

When the bell rang for the stage, Marile skillfully took out the violin from the case, ran onto the stage and started playing.Inspector Lake stood in the background, watching the performance while carefully asking the head of the orchestra about the situation.

The performance was a success, and Mariray performed very well today. He saw the violin master smiling and nodding to him, expressing his appreciation.After he finished the curtain call, he happily returned to the backstage. Detective Lake patted him on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Marilee, please follow me to the police station!"

From what detail did Inspector Lake discover that Marley was the suspect who killed Gerd?

The violinist had to adjust the strings a few minutes before the performance, and Marley could play the violin just out of the case, which showed that he knew in advance that he would perform today, proving that he was suspected of murdering Gerd.

death of a mathematician

"Every great scientist is poor before becoming famous, Galileo is like this, Einstein is like this, and I am like this." This is the opening remark of Desheng, and he said this to everyone.Then ask others to sponsor his mathematical research.

But Disheng has not met a patron so far.Now, Disheng lives in a dilapidated old apartment, living a life of hungry and full.This old apartment building was the messiest place on the block, full of parolees and hooligans.

But Disheng was not influenced by these people, and he still studied the profound mathematical principles behind closed doors every day, and didn't care about things outside the door.Mrs. Millie, the apartment manager, is Fluteson's only friend and often helps him when he is hungry.

On this day, Mrs. Millie remembered that she hadn't seen Disheng for many days, so she went to room 310 where he lived to check.After knocking on the door for a long time, but there was no response, she suddenly found a puddle of blood on the bottom of Disheng's door!Blood oozed from the door, already solidified into a deep red.Mrs. Millie couldn't help screaming and ran downstairs to call the police.

The police broke in and found that Disheng had been stabbed six times and had died a few days ago.He was lying on the ground, holding an iron wire in his hand, which had been pinched into a circle.

The murderer was obviously a professional criminal. He skillfully removed his fingerprints and footprints, took away the murder weapon, and left no clues at the scene.According to Mrs. Millie's recollection, a few days ago, it seemed that a fierce quarrel came from Flute's room.

"Can you provide clues about the suspect?" the police asked Mrs. Millie, "Who do you think would do such a cruel thing?"

"All the people in this building," said Mrs. Millie, "are professional criminals, and if the rent wasn't cheap, Filson wouldn't be living here. What a nice guy he is, he always dreamed of being a Mathematicians..." At this point Mrs. Millie couldn't hold back her tears.

"Wait," said a policeman suddenly, "you said he dreamed of being a mathematician?"

"Yes." Mrs. Millie replied with a choked voice, "If he works so hard on math and math all day long, he will definitely succeed!"

"Mathematician... wire... circle..." the policeman muttered, as if he had thought of something.A few minutes later, he raised his head and said, "I already know who the murderer is, let's go and arrest him! Disheng is such a smart man, what a pity!"

Smart readers, can you read the hints left by the mathematician and successfully find the murderer?

Before he died, Disheng grabbed a wire and made it into a circle, implying that the person who killed him by the police had something to do with the circle.As you know, pi is about 3, so he means the murderer lives in room 14.This is the special way of thinking of mathematicians, and the clever police deciphered his "password" after thinking, and successfully cracked the case.

November 11 Wills
Car tycoon Coulton died of a heart attack.His departure has intensified the race to succeed the Coulton Group.Coulton's three sons, Misa, Gilles and David, all came to the headquarters of the group, waiting for the lawyer to announce the will and determine who will eventually become the president of this huge enterprise.

Seeing that everyone was present, the lawyer opened a well-sealed document in front of the three brothers, which contained the old Cotton's will: "If I die due to an accident, the Cotton Group will be in charge of Gilles .” Signed on November 2001, 11.

Gilles was a little surprised, but Misa was grieving, but he couldn't do anything about it.Suddenly, the youngest son David stood up and said, "Wait a minute, I know that my father made a new will after this will, so according to the law, the content of the will should be based on the last one."

"Oh?" Misa suddenly became interested, and he hurriedly asked, "Where is the last will?"

"It's in the safe in the living room at home. Let's go back and look at it together now. If the two wills agree, then our company will be managed by Giles. If the two wills don't agree, then we will follow the content of the latter will. ’ David replied.

So, a group of people drove to Mr. Cotton's villa.Walking into the living room, David took down the oil painting hanging on the wall, and suddenly revealed a stainless steel safe embedded in the wall. He opened the safe and took out a document, which was also sealed.

David opened the document in front of other people, only to see the old Cotton wrote in his own hand: "I decided to use this will to overturn all the previous wills made. After my death, David will be in charge of the Cotton Group." Signing time for November 2001, 11.

Once again, Misa’s hopes fell through. He jumped up and said, “No, I won’t admit it! One of you bribed the lawyer, and the other forged the will. I’m the most honest, so I suffer the most!”

David said triumphantly: "You can't help it if you don't admit it. That's how my father allocated it. If you think it's unfair, you can go to him to argue."

At this time, Giles laughed and said: "David, do you know why Dad didn't leave the company to you? You are very business-minded, but when you are doing big things, you are always confused. This will is obvious at a glance. You faked it!"

smart reader.Do you think David's will is real, or a forgery?
No matter how perfect a lie is, it is vulnerable in the face of time.David's negligence was that he only knew that the latter will was more legally binding, but he forgot that November only had 11 days, not 30 days at all.

stolen paintings

Mrs. Edward is very rich, and her greatest hobby in her life is collecting famous paintings.Among her collections, there are 6 most precious pieces, all of which were written by master artists.

After Mrs. Edward's death, since she had no children, her will designated her nephew Hodes to inherit all the property. However, in the will, she specifically indicated that these 6 paintings were limited to the family collection and could not be sold or transferred.

Hodes didn't know anything about art, so he certainly wouldn't spend a lot of money to preserve and collect rare oil paintings.He entrusted most of his collection to the auction house to be auctioned off, but the 6 famous paintings that were not allowed to be sold in the will gave him a big headache. He was reluctant to donate them to the museum; he was not interested in collecting them himself.

One day, the auction house commissioned the great detective Poirot to investigate the authenticity of the entrusted collection, and Poirot came to the villa to find Mr. Hodes.He rang the doorbell for a long time, but no one came out to answer the door. He took a closer look and found that the door was ajar. He couldn't help feeling a little worried, so he pushed the door and walked out.

The villa was quiet everywhere, only the low "squeak" sound of feet on the floor.Suddenly, Poirot heard the sound of knocking on the floor from the second floor. He immediately ran up to the second floor, pushed open a heavy wooden door, and saw that Mr. Hodes was tightly bound and struggling on the floor.

"What's the matter? What happened?" Poirot hastily helped Hodes untie.

"Those bastards! Those gangsters!" Hodes said angrily, his face flushed with anger, "About an hour ago, a group of gangsters attacked here! I was looking at a famous painting at that time, and suddenly The submachine gun was put on my head. Then, two gangsters took down 6 famous paintings, and then they forced me to give them the painting in front of me. Finally, I was hit hard by the butt of the gun, and when I woke up, I was shot It's tied tightly! My God, 6 rare treasures!"

Poirot looked at Hodes's head, and sure enough there were signs of a blunt instrument injury.He said regretfully: "These cunning gangsters! Well, have you seen what they look like?"

"I saw it," Hodes said. "I saw it in the glass frame of the painting in front of me, a mustache, two—"

"Mr. Hodders," interrupted Poirot, "it seems that you are a layman in both art and lying. You are doing it for the purpose of defrauding insurance money!"

Smart reader, do you know where Hodders is showing his weakness?

To be a detective, one must be a learned expert.Because people with a little common sense know that oil paintings never use glass frames, but are decorated with wooden frames or special picture frames.

a pair of yellow overalls
The Laxstone Motorcycle Race is the most high-profile race in the UK.After several days of intense preliminaries, Kai McGee and Jonah Fish motorcycle team are the ones with the highest call to win the championship.

On the eve of the final, the entire camp was completely silent, except for the dim lights in the camps of the four motorcycle teams.They were the Gradiko team, the Kaimakie team, the Suzaki team next to each other, and the Jonah Fisher team 4 meters above them.At this moment, a black figure rushed into the McGee team's garage, and after a while, a crisp metal landing woke up Tom, who was driving the McGee team.He was just about to tiptoe to catch it, when he saw the black shadow crawling out of the ventilation pipe, and in the blink of an eye, the black shadow went straight to the river, and when Tom arrived at the river, the black shadow was gone.But Tom was rewarded, picking up a yellow shard at the vent.

Half an hour later, Sheriff Morris arrived on the scene.He summoned the captains of the four teams, pointed to the fragments and said to the captain of the Gladiko team: "This is torn from the overalls worn by the people in your team. It can't be wrong, right?" Head, said: "There must be a ghost here, a few days ago all our extra overalls were stolen."

Just as he was talking, a thin man walked in from the door. He held all kinds of fishing gear in his left hand, and a bundle of wet things hung on his right arm. He said, "Someone asked me to give it to Sergeant Morris." He took it and opened it to see that it was a pair of yellow overalls with a hole in the trouser leg, which matched the fragment exactly. "Where did you get it, sir?" Morris asked. "I'm Jack from Jonah Fish's team. I picked it up while fishing near the river near our team's camp." "When?" The man thought for a while and said, "15 minutes ago, when I was fishing, Suddenly I saw this thing drifting from the direction of the McGee team camp."

Upon hearing this, the captain of the Gradico team said: "Obviously framing, this is the usual method of the McKee team!" The captain of the McKee team flushed with anger, and said: "Are we crazy? We are tearing ourselves apart?"

Sergeant Morris stopped their quarrel and said, "The criminal is among us, and I have found him." After speaking, he shot sharp eyes straight at him.The man lowered his head helplessly.

Do you know who the perpetrator is?

The culprit was Captain Jonah Fish.Their camp was upstream from the Kai McGee camp, and Jack, who was fishing by the river at Jonah Fish's camp, said the overalls came from the direction of the Kai McGee camp.How can there be any reason for things thrown in the river to float against the current?
the sound of the time

On Sunday morning a critic died in his study, having been shot twice in the chest and falling dead.Because he lived alone, the body was only discovered when the servants cleaned it in the morning.

Detective Inspector Henry was at the scene and learned that no one in the vicinity heard the gunshots.He asked the appraiser: "Do you know the time of death?" The appraiser replied: "Last night around 22:20." When the appraiser was answering, the pigeon alarm clock hanging on the wall of the study rang, The pigeon in the wall clock poked its head out of the small window and announced 1000.

"How can you know so accurately without an autopsy?"

"When we got here, the radio was on and the record button was pressed. Turned the tape to the beginning, and it was the game between the Giants and the Pacers that day."

The appraiser pressed the play button of the tape recorder on the table, and the sound of the live broadcast of the game came out of it.Detective Henry listened while looking at his watch, and then he said with certainty: “No, the victim was killed not in this study but elsewhere.”

"How is that possible?" the appraiser asked suspiciously.

"The murderer shot and killed the victim while recording the live broadcast on the radio elsewhere, and not only moved the body, but also moved the tape recorder to this study, pretending that he was killed here."

"But, Inspector, I have listened to this tape twice, and there is no such evidence in the tape!"

"Then listen carefully again. There is a voice that is not recorded, so the study room is by no means the scene of the murder." The inspector turned on the tape recorder again and played the live game broadcast for him.

So, do you know which sound the Inspector was referring to?

It was the sound of a pigeon clock chiming the time.If he was shot to death in the study room, then the tape should have recorded the sound of the pigeon calling the clock to 3 900 minutes ago. The reason why there is no sound of the pigeon in the recording is because the murderer was recording elsewhere. While shooting the victim.
