1 minute to solve the case

Chapter 34: Resourceful strategy (14)
Lao Li looked at the incense burner carefully.He found that this incense burner was exquisite in workmanship and beautiful in shape. There were two coiled dragons carved on it. There was a long raised strip under the dragon's mouth, and a line of small characters was engraved on it: Made in 120 BC.

"Old Li, do you want to ask the comrades in the museum to appraise it?" Xiao Wang asked.

"Okay, send a car to the museum immediately to invite an expert!" Xiao Wang left in response.Lao Li held the censer again and looked at it.Suddenly, he seemed to have discovered something, and immediately said to a scout beside him: "Hurry up and call Xiao Wang back, and tell the interrogator to be rich!"

After a while, Xiao Wang came back, and Lang Youcai was brought to Lao Li.Under Lao Li's sharp gaze, Lang Youcai had no choice but to confess truthfully.It turned out that what was searched out was a counterfeit incense burner, but the real one was transferred to another place by them.According to the location he provided, he found the authentic incense burner.

Afterwards, Xiao Wang found Lao Li and asked him on what basis he concluded that the incense burner was forged.Lao Li pointed to the censer and said: "This censer, although the forgery is good, it's a pity it's too stupid."

"Where is the stupidity?" Xiao Wang asked puzzled.

When Lao Li pointed to the line on the incense burner and told him, Xiao Li suddenly realized.

Where is the stupidity of the counterfeiters pointed out by Lao Li?

It was impossible for people living in 120 BC to know in advance that the AD calendar would be implemented in the future.

The wall clock that has gone half a month

One night, at the Mawan Police Station, Xiao Niu, a young policeman on duty, was listening to the legendary detective story told by Director Zheng.Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

After Maverick opened the door, a person rushed in from the outside in a panic.The visitor was still panting, so he anxiously said to Xiao Niu: "Report to the police comrades, my house has been stolen!"

Xiao Niu saw that the person who came was reporting the crime, so he hurriedly led him to the duty room.

"Sit down. Don't worry, speak slowly." Director Zheng pulled a chair for the reporter to sit down, and handed him a cup of tea.

The informant is about 37 years old, of medium build, with a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose.He stabilized his mood and said: "My name is Cui Ping, and I am a salesman in the machinery factory. The thing is like this. The factory sent me to the south to urge a batch of raw materials more than a month ago. I just came back this evening and..."

After hearing Cui Ping's words, Xiao Niu noticed that Cui Ping's face was tired just now, like a passenger who just got off the bus after a long journey.

"Go on." Director Zheng connected another cigarette.

Cui Ping took out a handkerchief, wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued: "I walked to the door of the house and saw that the door was open and the lock was thrown on the ground. I stepped into the door. I was shocked by the scene inside the house." , things have been turned over in a mess, boxes, wardrobes, bookcases, and writing desks have been turned over. I checked and found that the 2 yuan in the plywood at the bottom of the wardrobe was missing. Someone asked me to buy a piano Money!" When Cui Ping said this, he was so regretful that he pulled his hair.

"How can you put so much money at home?" Maverick asked.

"Ah!" Cui Ping sighed, and said, "The factory notified me shortly before I went to the south to urge the goods. I left before I had time to deposit the money in the bank. I never thought..."

"Well, let's go to the scene with you right away." Director Zheng stood up and fastened the discipline buckle on the police uniform.

The three of them soon came to a 3-story red building.

"Here we are, on the 6th floor." Cui Ping led Director Zheng and Maverick up to the 6th floor.

The scene of the crime was indeed the same as what Cui Ping had just described, and the room was full of dust.Director Zheng and Xiao Niu inspected the scene carefully and found no suspicious fingerprints and footprints.

Director Zheng stood in front of the window thinking.

"Dangdangdang..." The wall clock on the wall rang 12 times.

Suddenly, Director Zheng loosened his frown, as if he had discovered something, and asked Cui Ping again: "Are you the only one living in this house?"

"Yes, I live alone in this house. Although I am almost 40, I am not married yet and live a single life."

"Didn't anyone come to your house after your business trip?"

"No, I went home and found that it was stolen, so I immediately reported it to the police station."

"Okay then, please tell the truth!" Director Zheng said coldly.

In the face of the facts, Cui Ping had to explain how he fabricated the fake case.It turned out that two months ago, someone introduced Cui Ping to a woman. The woman told him that he must buy a complete set of high-end furniture, otherwise he would not get married.There was no other way, so he spent the money others entrusted him to buy the piano.How can I explain it after spending other people's money?After returning from a business trip in the South, he spent three days in contemplation at home before creating this false case.But still did not deceive the eyes of the police officers.

How did Director Zheng deduce that this was a fake case?
Because the wall clock had to be wound up every two weeks, and Cui Ping said that he was away on business for more than a month, but the clock in the house was still running, so this was obviously a lie.In the first interrogation, it was true.Cui Ping came back 3 days ago. He only noticed that he hadn't wiped off the dust in the house, but accidentally wound up the clock.

Three forks
One morning, a black shadow jumped down from the high wall of the detention center with a "plop", rolled and crawled, and fled westward recklessly.

"Bing..." The siren blared loudly, and several police officers chased out with guns.

"The thief Huang Peng has escaped. There is a big river to the north of the detention center. There are only three roads for fugitives to go. Xiao Wang, you go to the east and take a shortcut to block the intersection leading to the railway station; Xiao Zhao, you go to the west and go to the railway station." Follow the direction of the paddy field." Lao Tian, ​​the head of the detention center, issued an order to pursue urgently.

"Yes!" According to the director's instructions, the three men chased each other in southeast and west directions with their pistols opened.

Xiao Zhao has just graduated from the police academy and has not long joined the public security work.Although the young man is just 18 years old, he is smart and eager to learn. Whenever he encounters a problem at work, he always has to think of a few more solutions before figuring out the best solution.Today is the first time he has performed a task alone since he joined the work, and he is both happy and a little nervous.But he is determined to complete the hunt successfully.

Xiao Zhao chased westward for about half a mile, and suddenly stopped.He found that there was a fork in the road ahead.what to do?Which way should I pursue it?Xiao Zhao was very anxious: if he pursued the wrong way, the fugitive might escape from under his nose.He looked at the three intersections, but there was no one at the end of the intersection.When he was hesitating, suddenly, he found that the water surface of the paddy fields on both sides of the road on the left was disturbed by something. Is it the footprints of criminals?Xiao Zhao hurriedly leaned down to take a closer look.He touched the mud under the water with his hands, but there were no new footprints.Strange, what's going on?Xiao Zhao thought for a moment, then suddenly exclaimed: "See where you are going!" After speaking, he chased down the path on the left, and he caught the fugitive in the ditch not far ahead.

On what basis did Xiao Zhao judge that the fugitive escaped from the left?

It was midsummer, and there were many frogs in the rice fields.In the early morning, they all jumped on the road to cool off.When the fugitive ran across the path on the left, the frogs were frightened and jumped into the rice field one after another, so the water was muddied.Xiao Zhao discovered the fugitive's whereabouts from this common sense phenomenon that is easily overlooked.

foggy glasses
One snowy night, a middle-aged man wearing glasses came to the Xibei Police Station.Police Lao Zhou received him.

The visitor took off his glasses, wiped them with a handkerchief a few times, put them on again, and introduced himself as Chang Ning, who lives in the dormitory of a nearby engineering college.The school was on winter vacation, and my lover took the child to visit grandma's house.He didn't go because he was going to teach the students of Ye University.This evening, as soon as I walked in after finishing my lecture at Ye University, I saw a person in the room looking through his things.When he saw that it was Xiao Hai, the son of his neighbor Wang Dalu, he was arrested, but Xiao Hai refused to admit it, so he had to report to the police station.

After listening to his narration, Lao Zhou pondered for a while and asked:

"How did Xiaohai get in?"

"The door lock was broken."

"Have you lost anything in your house?"

"Not yet, because I caught him on the spot."

"Did you bring him?"

"No, he cried and cried that he couldn't live or die, and his parents were even more unreasonable, saying that I was relying on their son. You'd better go and see, Xiaohai's big shoes left clear marks on my floor. shoe prints."

"Okay, let's go have a look."

Lao Zhou put on his coat and followed Chang Ning to a 7-story building.Chang's family lives on the third floor.Lao Zhou went to the door and saw that the lock was indeed broken, and Chang Ning temporarily installed a lock on it.The room was very warm, and the heat hit his face, so Lao Zhou had to take off his coat.When he was inspecting the site, he found that there were footprints on the clean red-painted floor.Lao Zhou followed his footprints to the window.After observing for a while, he raised his head, but his gaze suddenly stopped on the frosted glass.He turned around and asked Chang Ning:
"Did you go into the room and see that it was Xiao Hai who was turning over things?"

"That's right. As soon as I walked up the stairs, I heard movement inside. When I entered the room, I saw Xiao Hai. I caught him just as he was about to run."

"Did you really see him when you entered the house?"

"Yes, quite a bit."

"But your eyes..."

"Ah, don't think I'm short-sighted, but I can see clearly when I wear glasses. When I saw him clearly through the glasses, I almost jumped up in anger..."

"Okay, don't be angry, tell me the truth about the matter!"

"What?" Chang Ning's eyes widened in shock.

"What's so strange about this, in fact, you know it best in your heart."

When Lao Zhou said this, Chang Ning lowered his head.

It turned out that the Chang family and the Wang family often quarreled because of their children.Not long ago, Xiao Hai from the Wang family and Xiaopang from the Chang family had another fight. For this reason, the two adults also scolded each other for a long time.Every time there was a fight, Xiaopang couldn't beat Xiaohai.So Chang Ning came up with an idea, put Xiao Hai's shoes on the corridor, let Xiao Pang wear them and walk around on the floor, reported a false case, and wanted to punish Xiao Hai through the police station.But Lao Zhou saw it through.

How did Lao Zhou find out that Chang Ning reported a false case?

Because Chang's house is very warm, if Chang Ning returns home from the cold outside, his myopia lenses will be immediately covered with fog. It is impossible for him to see the perpetrator immediately, let alone recognize his face.Therefore, Lao Zhou judged that Chang Ning had reported a false case.

stop clock

One night, the Nanhua Watch Shop in the city center was burglarized and the watchman was killed.After committing the crime, the murderer fled.

Scout Liu Kai rushed to the scene immediately after receiving the report.He inspected the scene carefully and found that the cunning murderer had removed all traces after committing the crime.Liu Kai lit a cigarette and continued to check in the room while smoking.

Suddenly, his gaze was attracted by a "Golden Cup" brand clock on the counter. The glass of the clock case had been broken, and the hands had stopped moving, set at 9:35.Liu Kai carefully inspected the clock and found that the mechanism of the clock was in good condition and the mainspring was still tight. Judging from the traces of knocking on the clock face, the clock stopped due to the reduction of the swing due to external force.This was most likely caused by the fight between the watchman and the criminals. When Liu Kai's eyes fell on the hands of the watch, the doubts also increased: the hands seemed to have been turned by someone.He found that if the clock stopped at 9:35 due to an impact, then the minute is on "1" and the hour hand should be on the position of "10".But the situation is just the opposite. At this time, the hour hand is set at a position partial to "9".Liu Kai saw the flaw from the abnormal position of the hour and minute hands, and believed that criminals must have set up a ecstasy array on the clock to divert attention, in an attempt to lead the detection work astray.How can we find out the exact stop time of the clock, that is, the time when the criminal committed the crime?Liu Kai pondered for a while, and finally came up with a way to determine the time when the criminal committed the crime at 7:30.Then, Liu Kai used the method of timing and positioning according to the person to quickly capture the thief and murderer.

What method did Liu Kai use to determine when the criminal committed the crime?

Liu Kai saw from the clock that the criminals only moved the hour hand but not the minute hand.Therefore, Liu Kai moved the minute hand forward clockwise.When the minute hand reached the "12" scale, the clock "Dangdangdang..." rang 8 times.From this, Liu Kai concluded that the criminal committed the crime at 7:30.
