1 minute to solve the case

Chapter 46
Chen Xueshi satirized Qin Xun's test paper as "unintelligible and off topic (dyke) for thousands of miles".

who knows the password

There was a widow of a rich man who was very old and in poor health. She was eccentric by nature and lived alone in a big house. The only company with her was a talking parrot. It seemed that her pleasure was teaching the parrot to learn to speak. .

The old lady has a niece from afar, she is a very likable girl, the old lady feels very bad recently, so she wants to leave all her property to her.Because she has no education and her eyesight is not very good, she asked someone to write a letter to her niece, telling her to come here as soon as possible, but for the sake of confidentiality, the password of the safe was not written on the letter, only saying: If I can't wait You die when you come, it doesn't matter, I have arranged everything, she will tell you the password, she is my most reliable friend.

Within a few days, the old lady suddenly fell ill and unfortunately died.When her niece arrived, the old lady was dead.After taking care of the old lady's funeral, the girl remembered the letter, but after waiting for a few days, no one told her the password.But the girl was very clever. After asking the neighbors about the old lady's life, she finally knew who to ask for the password.

Because the old lady has a weird personality, she doesn't want to communicate with others, and she doesn't have close friends, so she won't tell anyone the password.But she said in her letter that she had already arranged it. Considering that she taught the parrot to talk every day, the only one who could tell the girl the password was the parrot.

Sweet Potatoes

A farmer made a will when he was dying, and distributed the only 15 sweet potatoes to his three sons: the eldest son could get one-half of all, the second son could get the remaining one-third, and the third son get the rest.

It's a pity that the relationship between the three sons has always been bad, and they are very fussy. Half a sweet potato is very difficult to cut, and each of them must have his own share. For this matter, the three argued endlessly.

Later, the matter was quarreled with the village chief, who felt that the farmer distributed the sweet potatoes in this way to test the wisdom of the three sons, and hoped that their brothers would reconcile.

In less than 2 minutes, the village head came up with a good method, which would allow the three of them to get their own share, without arguing about the unfair distribution. How did the village head distribute it?

The village head's solution is to burn the sweet potatoes into sweet potato porridge, so that they can be divided according to their due share.

hint of roses
In a villa in the suburbs of a certain city, there lived a single young man.In the morning, someone found the young man killed in the room.

The deceased was lying on the floor of the living room, holding a rose tightly in his hand.What does this rose imply?The public security personnel were troubled by this.

Under the full investigation of the police, it was found that there were no more than three reasons for the death of the deceased:

One is that half-sisters compete for inheritance rights;
The second is that the girlfriend has another love, and the two turn against each other;

The third is conflict with neighbors.

Several police officers in charge of the case were studying hard. A female typist just passed by. After listening to a few words, she smiled and said: "You don't understand such a simple hint, so hurry up and look through the encyclopedia. Or a reference book on flowers, to see what roses represent, and you will know that the murderer is his girlfriend."

On what basis did the female typist base her judgment?
It is very said to send flowers to women. When a man expresses his love to his lover, he sends roses.Before dying, the young man pulled out a rose from a vase, implying that the murderer was his girlfriend.

French Open

The wife of Du Hong, the general manager of a certain company, was killed. The forensic doctor concluded that the time of death was between 10 am and 11 am that day.

The police suspected that Du Hong was the murderer, and Du Hong just returned to the company at 11 o'clock, and he could not provide any proof of his alibi.However, Du Hong pointed out that the time of death judged by the forensic doctor was wrong. The reason was that at 11:30 and 12:[-], he twice asked his female secretary to call his wife in the office on his behalf. Madame was still alive.

The police questioned the female secretary to prove that it was true, and then checked the phone at Du Hong's home, but it was not hung up, and there were only his wife's and Du Hong's fingerprints on it.

Was the forensic doctor wrong?But Du Hong does have many doubts!When everyone was puzzled, a scout suddenly noticed that there were two telephones in Du Hong's office. He suddenly woke up and said, "I understand what's going on!"

Smart reader, do you also understand now?

After the two phones are connected, if one phone is hung up but the other is not, the call cannot be made.Before Du Hong committed the crime, he called his wife first, and then he did not hang up the office phone. After he drove home and finished the crime, he asked the female secretary to use another phone in the office to call his wife, but the line was naturally busy. Hong attempted to use this as proof of his alibi.

Exposing Corrupt Officials in the Examination Room
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, in a certain imperial examination, the chief examiner practiced fraud for personal gain and tried his best to embezzle and accept bribes.

On the day the list was unveiled, all those who secretly gave generous gifts to open their joints were on the list; while those ordinary people, no matter how outstanding their talents and knowledge, could only lose their names.

There was an outstanding talented scholar who hated the chief examiner who presided over the examination, angrily picked up a pen, wrote a satirical couplet, and posted it in front of the examination room door in the middle of the night.

The first couplet is: You can read words with few eyes

The next couplet is: Owing gold and securing fame

The horizontal batch is: swallow the sky with a big mouth
The next day, there was an uproar in front of the school, and people talked about it.

The couplet cleverly hides the name of the chief examiner in it, and exposes him to the public, and everyone who knows what he means applauds.Dear children, can you guess the name of the examiner?

The examiner who took bribes was named Wu Shengqin.

murder by the river
In ancient times, there was a businessman named Jia Si in Suzhou who often went out to do business.That night, he hired a boatman's boat and made an appointment to board the boat at Hanshan Temple outside the city the next day.

The next day, before dawn, Jass left home for Hanshan Temple with a lot of silver.When the sun was shining on the east window, Jia Si's wife heard someone knocking on the door urgently and shouting: "Sister-in-law Jia, sister-in-law Jia, open the door quickly!" After Jia's wife opened the door, the boatman who came came asked: "Sister-in-law, the sky is not good!" It's early, why hasn't Boss Jia boarded the boat yet?"

Jia's wife felt flustered, and followed the boatman to the Hanshan Temple River, only to see the boat parked on the river, but Jia Si disappeared.

Jia's wife went to the county government office to report the case. After hearing her story, the county magistrate concluded that the boatman had killed Jia Si.

Why?Let the intelligent reader reason.

When the boatman came to Jia’s house and knocked on the door, he shouted, “Mrs. Jia, open the door.” Dead Jace's.

rainbow after rain
The rain had stopped and the sun was shining brightly through the clouds.

"Hey, it's already 4 o'clock." Sergeant F looked at his watch when he left the shop sheltering from the rain.When he looked up, he accidentally saw a beautiful rainbow in the sky.

Shortly after Sergeant F returned to the office, the police brought in three people.One of them robbed a bank at exactly four o'clock.So Sergeant F asked them respectively what they were doing at 3 o'clock.

"I was in the park at 4 o'clock, when a rainbow appeared in the western sky, and I stood there admiring it for a long time." A said.

"I was in the bookstore at the time, and I came out after the rain stopped. I also saw a rainbow, but I didn't pay attention to the direction of the rainbow." B said.

"I was standing on the bridge at 4 o'clock and saw a rainbow in the sky in the east. Before I could appreciate it, I was brought here by you inexplicably." C said.

Sergeant F immediately pointed out that one of them was lying after listening to the narration of these three people.He didn't investigate, how could he know?
A rainbow is a natural phenomenon produced by tiny water droplets in the sky illuminated by the sun. Therefore, a rainbow can only appear in the direction opposite to the sun's position.The sun is in the west at 4 pm, and the rainbow can only appear in the eastern sky, so A is lying.

Catch the Stealer Smartly

E is a very honest farmer. In the past few days, he found that the wheat he planted was constantly being stolen, so he reported to the police for help.

When the police went to the scene to investigate, they saw that the wheat field was very large and very empty. They must send more people to ambush and wait for the wheat thief to appear.But if too many people watch the wheat fields, the wheat thieves will find the police. This will definitely scare the enemy, and the wheat thieves will not be caught, so everyone can't make up their minds.

After asking for instructions, the sheriff went to observe the wheat field in person, and said to the policemen: "This matter is very simple. As long as you ... do this, you will surely catch the wheat thief, but it is your hard work!"

What method did the sheriff think of?Are the police sure to catch the wheat thief?

The sheriff asked his subordinates to dress up as scarecrows and stand in the middle of the wheat field. Of course, the wheat thieves would not notice. Who would have thought that the scarecrows were actually dressed up as real people?
flaw
A is a very weird writer. He has a lonely personality and the plots of his novels are also very bizarre.He always writes in a study in a secret room, which has no windows and no electric lights. It uses a custom-made candle for lighting, and one candle can burn for 1 hours. He lights three candles at the same time every time, sitting The next writing will be for 12 hours, and he will stop writing as soon as the candle is extinguished.

One morning, the police received a call saying that A died suddenly in the study.It was his servant B who called the police, and he was the only one allowed into the writer's study.

He told the police: "The master went into the study to write after dinner yesterday. In the middle of the night, I went in to deliver coffee once. I saw the master was still writing, but when I woke up in the morning and went to deliver coffee, he was already dead."

The cause of A's death seems to be a heart attack. Everyone knows that he has a heart attack, but it is not very serious. The doctor who often sees him thinks that the condition is not serious enough to cause death.While everyone was discussing heart disease, the thoughtful sheriff looked carefully at the situation in the room, but suddenly said: "Someone killed A last night, and the murderer was servant B." B's face immediately turned pale , he didn't know where he showed his flaws, so that the sheriff found out that he was a murderer.What is it about the house that makes the sheriff decide that A did not die of natural causes?Why do you say that the criminal is B?
The key is the 3 unburned candles on the table.If, as B said, he saw A writing in the middle of the night, then the candle should continue to burn after A's death until it burns out in the morning.According to the situation at the scene, someone must have killed A and then blew out the candle.The candle only burned a little bit, indicating that A was killed shortly after entering the study, but B said that he had delivered coffee to the study late at night, which is enough to prove that he is lying.

where did the arrow come from
Spy B, who was under the cover of a painter, was found dead in the studio. He was shot in the back by a sharp arrow.
