1 minute to solve the case

Chapter 56
"That's not what my pride will allow. Unless you can find out what tricks he played in this bet."

When Director Brown was hesitating, the little detective Leroy spoke up: "Mr. Hans did play tricks in the bet..."

Afterwards, Director Brown went to Hans.Hans admitted that he had played tricks on the bet in the same way as the young detective Leroy said.He willingly returned the violin to the blind musician.

Can you uncover what trick Hans played in this bet?

For the bet Hans made, he came prepared. He prepared an ice cube made of ginger ale and put it in the safe. An hour later, the ice cube melted into ginger ale.

hijacked pilot

A Hawaiian amphibious tour plane was hijacked by a middle-aged man from Canada.The hijackers rented the plane for 4 people, shot and damaged the transmitter, making the plane unable to contact the ground, and ordered the pilot Mark to fly north in the direction he instructed.Fly to the surface of the sea, where a submarine is picking him up, and he has top-secret information on him.

The hijacker stood next to Mark, observing the sea with binoculars: "It's too early...Okay, wait in the sky before the submarine surfaced. Fly higher and hover!"

"Understood." Mark raised the altitude and flew in a circle.At the same time, I thought: If you are lucky enough to find a sailing ship, you can drop something like a chimney and try to express SOS.But it happened that there was no fishing boat on the sea, and there was not even a shadow of an airplane in the sky.At this time, the sea seemed to be windy suddenly, and huge white waves were set off on the calm sea.Mark has been drawing a triangular route and circling.

"Ah! I see it, it's there!" Suddenly, the hijacker exclaimed excitedly.A black shadow resembling a whale appeared on the surface of the sea right now, a white ripple was drawn in the blue waves, and a submarine of unknown nationality floated out.

"Overboard next to that submarine!"

"Understood." Mark pulled down the throttle lever, reduced the power, and the plane began to descend.Although he descended close to the surface of the sea, Mark failed to touch the water on purpose, flew over the submarine's head, and raised the nose again.Men in protective-coloured uniforms on the submarine are launching rubber rafts.

"Hey, what are you doing? Get some water!" the hijacker shouted angrily.

Mark yelled: "This is not a helicopter. If you don't look at the direction of the wind and waves, the plane will overturn. Don't interrupt the layman! Hurry up and put on the life jacket under the seat. If you catch the side waves, the plane will be overturned." !” Scared by Mark, the hijackers hurriedly put on life jackets.In order to buy time, Mark made a large circle.Although he floated on the water smoothly this time, he turned off the engine when he was 200 meters away from the submarine.

"Why turn off the engine, come closer!"

"Are you going to kill me before transferring to the rubber raft?"

"I'm sorry, but you reminded me." The hijacker put a pistol to the back of Mark's head.

"Before you pull the trigger, listen carefully!" Mark retorted calmly.

At this time, there was a voice from above.A twin-engined seaplane was coming rapidly this way.The submarine on the surface of the sea left the rubber raft and began to sink in a hurry.Mark tightly grasped the hijacker's wrist: "That's a seaplane from the navy, it came to rescue me after receiving a distress signal from me."

How did he send out a distress signal without a transmitter?
When Mark circled, he flew along a triangular route, flying to the left every 2 minutes to draw a line, which is an aviation distress signal, so that the base radar will find it, and a life-saving plane will be dispatched immediately.

The secret on the missing page

Miss Carrie, the Rodin librarian, is a very careful girl.On this day, an old woman came to return a book called "What Did Manuela Get?" ", Miss Carrie flipped through and found that pages 41 and 42 were missing.

The woman explained: "When I borrowed it, there were missing pages, but I didn't know it beforehand."

Miss Carrie said with a smile: "But this book was missing pages when you returned it to me. According to regulations, you should be responsible for compensation."

The old woman paid as required.After watching the old lady go, Miss Carrie picked up the book again and flipped through it casually.Suddenly, she found that there were several small scratches on page 43, which seemed to be made with a sharp tool such as a carving knife.She began to read the page carefully and traced the scratches with a pencil, and the lines finally came out clearly.When all the drawings were finished, she found that these scratches were not all around the characters, some were scratched around the characters, another part was scratched in the blank space, and some were completely scratched in the blank space.She suddenly understood: she was wasting effort on the insignificant page, the real secret was hidden on that missing page, and all the nicks on page 43 were nothing but imprints from the previous page.

She went to a bookstore and bought a copy of What Did Manuela Get? 》, after carefully aligning the bottom of pages 41 and 43, a piece of carbon paper was inserted between the two pages, and then carefully retrace on the existing line on page 43 with a pencil.After tracing, he took out page 41 and looked excitedly at the words drawn with lines around them:

"The cure takes the bad baby to go, she's healthy, you're half a million polyphonic."

She couldn't help being a little disappointed, it was a bunch of incoherent words.Is this just a random mark drawn by someone out of boredom?

She carefully studied page 41 of the book again.Finally, it was found that these scratches just framed the surroundings of each word. Some of the words on page 41 were gouged out with a knife.She suddenly realized: Since these characters were cut out one by one, of course they can be arranged at will.What would be the result if the order of these words were changed?
She changed the order several times, and finally formed a sentence that she thought made the most sense.She read the sentence twice and thought there might be a kidnapping involved, so she called the police.

According to this clue, the police successfully cracked a kidnapping case.It turned out that the kidnapper was afraid of revealing the handwriting, so he cut out the words one by one from the book, then spelled them into a sentence, and sent them to the relatives of the "baby" kidnapped by him, asking them to pay for the ransom.

Do you know what Miss Carrie spelled out?
She spelled out: "Your baby, your health is very bad, take 50 (or [-]) yuan for treatment, and wait for a reply." She noticed "baby" and "[-] yuan" before she thought of the possible connection with the kidnapping case related.

Hole in the ambulance

It was closing time, and Detective Rem was heading home, taking a leisurely stroll down the sidewalk of Jenkinson Avenue.

Suddenly, a woman's voice came from behind: "The car has hit someone! Stop that car!" Rem walked quickly to the scene of the accident, and saw a man lying on the road with his head bleeding .The woman who called was standing in the middle of the road, angrily arguing with the driver of an ambulance, which she demanded would take her injured husband to the hospital immediately.The ambulance was stopped by the woman while speeding.

The driver said, "Get out of the way, ma'am, we're going to pick up a sick patient!"

The woman said: "No way! Take him to the hospital quickly. Did you see that he was hit by a car and his injuries are serious!" The driver still refused, and the onlookers were aggrieved by the driver's attitude and spoke up for the woman.The driver had no choice but to nod to the two doctors in white coats in the car.Two doctors in white coats got out of the car and opened the back door of the ambulance, took out the stretcher, and planned to put the man who was hit on it.At this moment, two police cars drove up and had to stop behind the ambulance.

"Hey, quickly drive the ambulance to the side!" The sheriff shouted out of the car.

"Mr. Sheriff, it's not that we want to block the road. We were driving, but this lady stopped us..." the driver said.

"Stop talking! We still have to hunt down the bad guys!" The sheriff thought that the driver who hit someone with his car was a bad guy. Otherwise, why did he panic and hurt people?This damn ambulance stopped on the road, what a bad time.He was about to lose his temper when he suddenly found Detective Rem walking towards him with difficulty in the crowd.

"Hello, Mr. Rem!" The sheriff stepped forward respectfully and stretched out his hand.

Rem shook hands with him: "Hello, Mr. Sheriff! What's the matter, are you still running around on the street after get off work?"

"It's like this: 10 minutes ago, the Great World Bank was robbed. The teller was terrified. When we asked her, she couldn't tell how many perpetrators were there. She only remembered that they had masks on their faces and black cloaks. I think , the robber may have been in the car that hit the man. Excuse me, did you see that?"

The detective shook his head and said, "I didn't see it."

At this time, the two white coats tied the wounded up with belts and gently pushed the stretcher into the ambulance.Just as they were about to close the door, Rem saw the head of the wounded man, bleeding from the wound, because the wounded man was lying with his head out and his feet inward.Rem whispered to the sheriff in a hurry, and the sheriff immediately ordered the police to impound the ambulance and arrest the driver and two white coats."You are bank robbers!" said the sheriff without excuse.

"What evidence is there? Why are you spitting blood!" The white coat yelled, "Mr. Sheriff, we still have to rescue the heart patient!" The driver yelled.

"Stop acting! Look!" Rem sneered.

Police recovered bundles of banknotes, two black cloaks and three pistols from the ambulance.

Please tell me, why did Mr. Rem know that the driver and the two white coats in the ambulance were robbers?
The fake doctors showed their secrets. They put the wounded into the ambulance with their feet facing inwards and outwards.

flying thief

In the middle of the night, Japanese TV host Mieko Yamada returned to the apartment with her exhausted body.She took off her clothes and jewelry such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings, and went into the bathroom.But when she returned to the bedroom after taking a shower, she found that the diamond ring on the dressing table had disappeared.She quickly called the police department to report the incident.

The detective on duty was Mr. Goro Duanki. He put down the phone and drove to Mieko Yamada's apartment.He carefully checked every corner of the room, looking for evidence such as footprints and fingerprints.However nothing was found.

"Miss, did you only lose one ring?" Duan Mugoro walked to the dressing table, looked at the necklace and earrings on it, and asked Mieko Yamada.

"Yes, only one ring is missing. The necklace, earrings, and bracelet are all there. However, this ring is very expensive. Not only is the ring made of 24K pure gold, but the diamond on the ring is also a large piece of natural stone. The gem, worth more than $1, was given to me by a gentleman when he wooed me." Mieko Yamada replied.

Suddenly, Duan Mu picked up a match on the dressing table and asked Mieko Yamada, "Did you put this match on it?"

"No, it's not. I don't keep matches on the dresser. I smoke with a lighter. Only in the kitchen do you have matches."

"Oh, that's right..." He looked at the match carefully, then put it back on the dresser.He walked to the window again and said to Mieko who came over and stood beside him, "Miss, do you open the window in the bedroom when you take a shower?"

"Yes. Are you saying that the thief climbed in through the window? Impossible, this is the ninth floor. There are still iron bars on the window frame, and the door is locked. How can the thief come in?"

Duan Mu asked again: "Does anyone in this building keep birds?"

Mieko felt that Duan Mu's question was strange, but she still told him: "There is a parrot at Yamamoto's house on the fourth floor, an owl at Kuroda's house on the third floor, and several pigeons at Chuan Yuan's house on the sixth floor..."

Before Mieko finished speaking, Duan Mu interrupted her: "The criminal has been found. Go to Kuroda's house on the third floor to get your ring back!"

When they reached the third floor, Duan Mu knocked on the door of Kuroda's house.Kuroda opened the door and looked at Mieko and the strange man beside her.Detective Duan Mu took out his ID and said to him: "I am a detective from the Police Department, and my name is Duan Mu Wulang. I will come to your house to have a look." Then, they walked into Kuroda's room and saw a diamond ring on the desk. Glittering, squatting next to a bright-eyed owl.Duan Mu picked up the ring and asked Mieko Yamada: "Miss, is this the ring?"

Mieko replied, "It's my ring."

"Owls are suitable for nighttime action. I know the owner is afraid that the owl will make a cry during the action, so he trains it to bite matches and fly..." Duan Mu analyzed.

Kuroda's face turned pale immediately, he didn't expect Duan Mugoro to find him so quickly, and his analysis was completely in line with the facts, so he could only put his hands into the shiny handcuffs Duan Mugoro took out...

How did Duan Mugoro reason?

The match on the dressing table was left by the owl. He put down the match and took the ring.
