1 minute to solve the case

Chapter 7 Pure Thought (6)
After seeing the inspector, Lamarr still said: "I have no idea what jewelry box he is talking about."

The inspector asked Bailey; "Where did you hand the jewelry box to Rama in front of whom? Is there a list of jewelry?" Bailey gave the inspector a copy of the list and said, "I When I gave him the jewelry box, there was no one else around, but I gave it to him under a big poplar tree."

Presently the Inspector ordered a clerk:

"Go down to that big poplar tree right away and tell it that I want it to come to me as a witness."

The clerk left.After waiting for a long time, the clerk still hadn't come back. The inspector said impatiently, "This clerk is really wasting time. Lama, how far is that tree from here?" "Inspector, it's still early! The poplar The tree is five miles from here."

"Then we won't have to wait for Poplar," said the inspector. "I'm sure it was Rama who took Bailey's jewelry box."

Do you know what the inspector bases his judgment on?
The detective asked the clerk to call Dashu to be a witness, and he did it deliberately for Rama to see.Then, when he relaxed his vigilance, let him tell the distance of the big tree casually, which means that he has been under the big poplar tree.Rama said he had never been under the big poplar tree, but he lied because he didn't want to return Bailey's jewels.

a notice

As soon as Moby woke up, he hurriedly flipped through the announcement column of the newspaper, which he asked his assistant to do yesterday.The notice was posted in the middle seam, with the title "Find a Pocket Watch and Reward".The full text is as follows: "The ancestral relic pocket watch is lost, and a reward of 1000 yuan is offered to find it. If you have any news, please let me know. Postal code: 210045." Although this pocket watch is worthless, it is a souvenir of the ancestors after all!
However, when Moby finished reading the notice, he was very angry: "You idiot! What's the use of posting such a notice!" Just as he was about to reprimand his assistant, the doorbell rang.A middle-aged man stood outside the door. He said, "My name is Chase, and I'm here to deliver a watch." Then, he took out a watch from his pocket.

Moby blinked, unable to believe the facts before his eyes. "Yes, that's the watch!" He was overjoyed, cherishing the pocket watch Chase gave him, "Thank you so much! Where did you find it?"

Hearing this, the man was stunned, and after a while he said: "Let me tell you frankly, I didn't pick up this watch. I saw a kid selling this watch at the station, so I bought it for 100 yuan. I saw the advertisement in the newspaper just now, and I will send it to you immediately." Moby nodded, and was about to open the drawer to withdraw money when he suddenly felt something was wrong.He shouted to his assistant: "Catch him! This guy is a thief, he stole the pocket watch! I'm going to take him to the police station."

"You...you spouted blood and wronged good people." Chase protested loudly, "Why do you say I stole your watch?"

"The fact is very clear, there is no one more stupid than you, and you actually delivered it to your door!"

How did Moby see through Chase's true face?
There is no Moby's address in the notice. If Chase just read the notice, it is impossible for him to know the address of the person involved. Chase must have stolen Moby's pocket watch and tracked all the way to find the address of Moby's house.Then wait for the reward announcement in the newspaper.

did the dog bite her

One day, a college student, Alin, was reading at home, when the doorbell suddenly rang, and he hurried to open the door.It was Mrs. Lucy next door who came in. She was a well-known naughty woman. She pointed at Alin and shouted aggressively, "You are so disgusting! You don't even care about your own dog! Bit me!"

Allin was baffled because his dog never bites and has been squatting at his feet all day.So, Alin asked Mrs. Lucy, "When did you bite? Where did you bite? Why didn't I see the wound?"

Mrs. Lucy said, "Just passing your door," and pulled her trousers up.Only then did Alin see that Mrs. Lucy had a bite wound on her knee.

Alin is a person who likes to use his brain. When he saw Mrs. Lucy's wound, he said with certainty: "Absurd! You are lying! The wound was not bitten by my dog." Then Alin gave the evidence, and Lu Mrs. Si was speechless.

Do you know what Allin's evidence is?

If the dog had bitten Mrs. Lucy, her trousers would not have been intact, and the wound would have been clearly visible without pulling them up.

Castle Murder

Mr. Leon is a millionaire. Recently he bought an old castle and transformed it into an antique hotel, attracting many tourists.But mysterious suicides often occur in the hotel.Detective Hunter and his assistants disguised themselves and checked into the hotel, determined to find out the truth.

Leon warmly received them and arranged them in room 508 on the fifth floor.When the three of them came to the fifth floor, Hunter saw a big iron door next to the room, and asked Leon what it was.Leon said: "Want to visit? Please pull it for me." The two of them opened the heavy iron door with great effort.Inside the iron gate is a dark bottomless pit.Li Ang introduced with a smile: "This hole was used to execute prisoners 500 years ago. Recently, some guests also jumped into this hole and committed suicide." The three retreated and closed the iron gate.Entering room 508, Hunter whispered to his assistant to pay attention to Leon, it seems that he is not a good person.

At night, they both lay on the bed with their clothes on.In the middle of the night, there was a scream outside the door, and Hunter rushed out of the room with a stride, only to see the iron door wide open.After a while, many tourists came one after another, and everyone talked about it.At this time, Li Ang came out of his bedroom, and he said sadly: "The guest in room 306 couldn't think about it, so he jumped down and committed suicide!"

Hunter's assistant interrupted him: "Shut up! This is murder, and you are the murderer! This door cannot be opened by a single person. How could he open the iron door and jump down to commit suicide?" "Then why do you suspect that I killed it?" What about him?" The cunning Leon asked back.

Detective Hunter took out his ID to identify himself, and said something to everyone, Leon collapsed on the ground like a deflated ball.Do you know what the detective said?

The bottomless pit was pitch black, and before Leon went to see who the deceased was, he said that the person in room 306 had committed suicide, so he was the murderer.

star death
The famous basketball player Weber plays very well and is a big star admired by many people, which also arouses the jealousy of some coaches and basketball players.

Webb was shot dead in his own home one Saturday afternoon, and because of his high profile, the bombshell news spread instantly across the country.

After receiving the report, Inspector Tom rushed to the scene of the crime with his assistants, only to see that Weber had been shot three times in the head, and his true face was hard to discern on his head surrounded by blood.

Tom questioned neighbors, who told him the shooting was at 1706.Another person who passed by downstairs also proved that the time of the gunshot was 1706.

Tom immediately conducts a comprehensive survey of the scene, looking for evidence that may solve the case, and soon, he finds a letter written by Weber on a table, which mentions that three men have always wanted to murder Weber.

"This is an important clue!" Tom was overjoyed, and said to his assistant: "I think these three people are all suspects."

So Tom and his assistant began to follow up the three people A, B, and C, and soon found out some things about these three people on Saturday afternoon.

A and C are football coaches and B is a football coach.The teams of these three coaches all participated in the ball game starting at 1500 on Saturday afternoon-coach A's team competed for the "French Cup" championship at a stadium 10 minutes away from the deceased's residence; A friendly match was played on a sports field 60 minutes away from the residence; while coach C's team members participated in the championship final at a stadium 20 minutes away from the place where the deceased was killed.

At the same time, it was confirmed that all three coaches were on the court to direct the game before the referee blew the final whistle.

Seeing the results of the investigation, Tom's assistant couldn't help but said in frustration: "These three people who seem to be suspects have no possibility of committing the crime!"

"No!" Tom said, "I already know who the murderer is! The murderer is Coach C!"

Why does Tom say that C is the murderer?

A rugby game takes 80 minutes (not including the intermission of the game), plus 60 minutes of travel time, Coach B will not be able to reach Weber's home before 17:20 anyway.A football match lasts 90 minutes. Even with a 15-minute break in the middle, it is entirely possible for coaches A and C to commit crimes.But Coach A is participating in a tournament. When they draw with the visiting team, they have to extend the time for 30 minutes to decide the winner, plus 10 minutes of travel. Even without the intermission, Coach A cannot Arrive at Weber's house before 17:10, so only Coach C can kill Weber.Because the game time is 90 minutes, with a 15-minute break in the middle, and a 20-minute journey, he can reach Weber's house at 1705, that is, 1 minute before the gunshot.

There is no silver here 300 taels

One day, Inspector Henry came to George's house and asked, "Are you Mr. Jochat?"

"Yes." George replied.

"I'm Inspector Henry." The Inspector sat down and said with a heavy heart, "Unfortunately, I want to tell you the sad news that your brother-in-law was murdered."

"What?" said George in surprise. "I saw Mass last night, and I can't believe he was killed. Are you sure it was him, Inspector?"

"Mr. George, it can be confirmed from the autopsy report and some circumstantial evidence that it is your brother-in-law. Can you provide some clues to see who is suspected of killing your brother-in-law." The inspector said.

"Mass usually has many enemies, which is known to everyone." George said frankly, "Ford, his business partner, said that Mas embezzled public funds and had a big fight with him. My second brother-in-law Kenny Had an argument with Mas too. Shame, Kenny was involved with the underworld too, but we haven't heard from him for months. Another person who might kill Mas is my third brother-in-law Billy, I know he is very Hate Mas. I can give you his address, but you promise not to tell him I said it."

"No, Mr. George. From what you just said, you are a murderer!"

What is the reason for this?

Judging from George's conversation, he had at least three brothers-in-law. The inspector hadn't revealed the name of the brother-in-law who was killed, but George did.

Impostor with poor hearing

In the dead of night, a masked robber robbed the bank and shot and killed two tellers on night shift.The security guard found a scar on the robber's neck in the flashing lights of the car.

Within an hour, police cars roared to and fro at major traffic intersections in the city.They used tweeters to announce the reward order: "The robber has a scar on his neck, and the whistleblower will be rewarded with 1 yuan!"

Not long after, an anonymous call came to the police station: "The robbers have fled in the direction of the Sunshine Building, please hurry up and chase them down."

After a fierce gun battle, the burly gangster fell in a pool of blood.The news that the robber was killed quickly spread, and many people who received a reward of 5 yuan suddenly appeared.They all claimed to be the anonymous messenger, and it was difficult for the police to tell the truth from the fake.The chief handed over the task of identifying the real informant to the resourceful detective Charlie.

Soon, a row of reward recipients came to the reception room of the police station. Christine was the last applicant, and he smiled confidently at the inspector: "Although my hearing is relatively poor, wait for me to repeat it." After that, if you take the evidence, your esteemed gentleman will believe it..."

He said he found a man in the back seat trying to cover a scar on his neck with his collar shortly after he heard the arrest announcement over the bus horn.So I was startled, and began to pay attention to his every move.

The man turned sideways and said to a red-haired girl in the aisle, "I'll get out of the car later and go to the Sunshine Building." Although Christine's ears were not very good, he could tell the man from the shape of his mouth Say something.The man handed the redhead a note.

After reading the note, the red-haired girl crumpled it up and threw it on the car. The man and the woman got out of the car one after another. Christine picked up the paper and found that it said: "Two days later, press this address Find me."

"Here, this is this one. Right? You police can't rely on this 5 yuan bounty." He said, and took out a note.

Charlie glanced at the note, and chuckled: "This is the address of the scene where the murderer was killed. Unfortunately, it was copied from a newspaper!"

Since you are hard of hearing, you can tell the content of other people's conversations from their mouth shapes, but you can never tell the content of the radio from the sound on the radio.

A horse that is not blind

Washington, the first president of the United States, was a very logical person. When he was young, he used his rigorous logical thinking to deduce many cases.Among them, the broken horse case is a well-known logical reasoning case among his many judgments.

One night, a neighbor stole a horse from Washington's house.Early the next morning, Washington went to a neighbor's house with a police officer to ask for it.

However, no matter how Washington explained the situation, the neighbor refused to admit it, and claimed that the horses on his farm were fed by himself.

Seeing his neighbor's default, Washington walked into the neighbor's farm, walked around inside, and soon saw the lost horse of his own family.

He came to the horse, covered the horse's eyes with both hands suddenly, and asked his neighbor, "Did you raise this horse?"

"Of course, this is my horse, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it!" The neighbor's tone was very firm.

"Well, now I ask you to tell me, which eye of this horse is blind?" Washington asked, looking at his neighbor.

"Yes...it's the right eye." The neighbor replied hesitantly.

Washington let go of the hand that covered the horse's right eye, which was not blind.

"Oh, I remember wrongly, I'm so sorry," the neighbor quickly changed his words and said, "The horse's left eye is blind."

Washington immediately let go of the hand that covered the horse's left eye. It turned out that the horse's left eye was not blind.

"I made a mistake again...it turns out that the horse..." The neighbor wanted to quibble, but Washington said something, and the neighbor had to admit that he had stolen his horse.

Washington said: "You don't have to quibble anymore, this horse doesn't belong to your family at all. When I asked you which eye of this horse is blind, you gave it away. You stole the horse at night. It is impossible to know whether the horse is blind or not. So when I ask you, you must think that the horse is blind in one eye, so you answer the right eye, and you think there is a 50.00% probability of answering it correctly, but You would never think that this horse is not blind at all, so your probability is wrong, which proves that the horse is not yours."

Hatch's Christmas
Hank is the assistant to Hatch, the treasurer of a large company.One day at noon, Hank walked into Hatch's office on the 19th floor on time as usual.When he opened the door and went in, Hutch was hanging on the beams of the house.He hurried to pick the rope and found that Hatch had been dead for a long time.

Hank immediately ran to the secretary's office and informed the secretary, Miss Emily, that something had happened to Hutch.

After hearing this, Emily picked up the phone immediately: "Mr. Granger, this is Emily, can you come to the 19th floor? Something happened!" She put down the phone and said to herself: "This is terrible. It's really horrible, how can this happen to Christmas in two days!"

After a while, the general manager Granger came to Hatch's office and was very sad to see his subordinate hanged himself. He immediately asked the company personnel who rushed to the scene to clean up the scene. At the same time, he asked his secretary Emily to inform Hatch's family , and report it immediately.

She was busy until 5 pm, when Emily reminded Granger, "Mr. Granger, there is a Christmas party upstairs, which you have already arranged!"

Granger suddenly realized and said, "Yes, yes, I almost forgot that there was a party on the 20th floor."

With exhaustion all over, Granger came to the 20th floor and pushed open the door of his private meeting room. There were already some employees waiting there in the room. There was a Christmas tree in the corner of the room, and under the tree were colorful and Gift.Because something happened, the atmosphere in the room was a little dull.In order to ease the atmosphere, Granger began to distribute gifts for everyone.From the secretary to the deputy general manager, everyone in the company received a gift.

The party ended quickly, and everyone walked out of the meeting room one by one.Hank was the last one to walk out of the conference room. He glanced suspiciously at the empty floor under the Christmas tree, and his suspicions grew even more.Suddenly, his eyes lit up, "Hatch definitely didn't commit suicide!"

He immediately went downstairs to find the police, and told his judgment. According to his judgment, the police caught the murderer.

How did Hank discover the murderer?
Hank found that Granger, the general manager of the company, came to Hatch's office on the 19th floor and knew that Hatch was dead.But when he came to the meeting room on the 20th floor to distribute gifts, there was no Hatch's gift alone. If he didn't know that Hatch had an accident, then everyone in the company had gifts, and there must be Hatch's gift.From this, it can be concluded that Granger is the murderer, and of course he doesn't need to prepare a gift for Hutch.

Murder in the Student Apartment

In the silent night, the student apartment buildings located in the university city were extremely noisy and full of voices.

Suddenly, a gunshot pierced the night sky, making the already noisy chaos in the student apartment even more lively.Following the gunshots, many students came to a single-family apartment. In the second-floor bedroom of the apartment, Harry, a college student, had fallen into a pool of blood.

A student immediately called and reported to the police station. Detective Henry came to the student apartment immediately with his assistant.

After investigation, Henry learned that there were four students living in this apartment, besides the deceased Harry, Bill and Sonny Glenn.Henry felt that the three students were all suspected, so he separated the three of them and interrogated them separately.

Henry first asked Bill: "What were you doing when Harry was shot?"

Bill said: "I was working on my car and I took a light to the garage at the back of the house and plugged it in and turned on the light to fix the car. Just then there was gunfire in the room and I ran inside. "

Henry started questioning Sonny again: "What were you doing when the gun went off?"
