Chapter 19 Confusion and Illusion (4)
One day, Luke and his nephew were the only two at home, and a client came to visit.It was late at night, and when the client was about to leave, he called his nephew to the second floor.According to his nephew, it was his uncle who forgot to open the window and told him to open it an inch at the top and bottom.Then, the client and his nephew left.They drank for a while, and the nephew borrowed a shotgun from the client for hunting. The two went back to Luke's house together, but the door was locked and they couldn't get in.His nephew was very angry, shot the shotgun in his hand into the air, and shouted: "Uncle, just fall to your death on the stairs!"

That night, he stayed at the client's house.It was discovered the next day that Luke had fallen to his death under the stairs.There were uneven marks on the floor of the stairs. It was obvious that Luke had tripped and fell to his death.The dead man held a pocket watch in his right hand, the watch was broken, and it was pointing to 12 o'clock, which was exactly when his nephew shouted.

Can the curse become a reality?

Before the nephew left home, Luke's watch was secretly set up.When his nephew came home and knocked on the door, Luke was sleeping. Luke was woken up, picked up the pocket watch with his right hand to check the time, then looked at the watch on his left hand, and found that the time of the two watches was a little different. There were so many hours, so I went downstairs while watching the time.At this time, the nephew guessed that Luke was probably going downstairs, so he shot the shotgun in his hand into the air and shouted, "Uncle, just fall to your death on the stairs!" I was distracted by looking at the watch, coupled with my nephew's urging, coupled with the unevenness of the stairs, I fell down in a hurry.

crime on the prairie
Photojournalist Richard and his assistant Ron made a special trip to Africa to photograph lions.

Suddenly one day, the local police received a report that Richard died in an accident during filming.The local inspector arrived at the scene within half an hour after receiving the report, and immediately started investigating the scene.

Richard was wearing a khaki photography vest and jeans. He was lying on the ground facing the sky, with his hands naturally flat on his sides. Not far from his hands was his beloved camera. The lens of the camera had been broken. Broken, the tripod is still intact.Richard's head was tilted to the left side of his body, the ground under his head had been stained black and red with blood, the glasses on the bridge of his nose had been broken, and his eyes were wide open.Next to Richard's head was a stone the size of an ostrich egg, which seemed to be made of granite, covered with bloodstains, and the stone was sunk in the soil. It seemed that the unlucky Richard died of this stone.

The inspector looked at the stone, put on his gloves, and dug the stone out of the ground.Suddenly, he found that the part of the stone buried in the soil also had a little blood, so he became suspicious.

At this time, Ron on the side described the situation to the inspector. He said: "Richard was taking pictures of lions hunting, but he was too close to them. One of the lions found Richard while chasing bison. Then he turned around and ran towards Richard. After Richard saw it, he subconsciously started to run backwards. While running, he looked back, and I quickly picked up the shotgun and rushed up. Unexpectedly, when he looked back again, no Beware of tripping over a rock under his feet, and then his head fell right on that rock, and I shot the lion to scare it away, and then I went over and saw that Richard was dead." Detective I took a long look at the lions not far away, and there are various other animal groups a little farther away, and the grassland is still full of vitality.He smiled and said to Ron, "It's unfortunate for him. Usually lions don't hurt people."

"Maybe his camera caught the lion's eye."

"Maybe, I don't know which lion is so fierce?" said the inspector.

"I can't tell which one it was, there were several lions hunting, but I remember it was a very large male lion."

"Oh, it might be all right for Richard to stand still. You were brave enough to run up to save him."

"I took a shot at the lion before I ran over."

"Did that shot you fire hit the lion?"

"Probably not, my marksmanship is not good."

"But no matter what, I hope you can go back and assist us in our investigation."

"Okay, I am very sorry that this accident happened, and I will definitely try my best to help you."

"But I don't think it was an accident," said the Inspector meaningfully.

Why did the Inspector think it was no accident?
1.The camera is attached to the tripod, and it is very heavy. When people flee for their lives, they will not have to take off the camera and run with it.

2.The stone under Richard's head was buried in the soil after Ron killed Richard with it, so the part buried in the soil has blood stains.

3.Male lions generally do not participate in hunting.

4.If someone shoots a gun in the grassland, the animals will run away.

5.When a person trips normally, his face lands on the ground. After a violent roll, it must be impossible for his hands to be placed on his sides naturally.

Murder in the snowy night
There was a heavy snowfall in Moscow just after the beginning of winter. With the snowfall, the temperature in the morning of the next day dropped to minus 15°C.

The venerable Mr. Stakov was murdered in his flat last night.The police quickly locked the clues to solve the case on the maid Milasova.

Sergeant Emov interrogated Milasova: "Where were you around 11 o'clock last night?"

The maid replied blankly: "Last night after get off work, I stayed at home watching TV. At about 9:[-], the TV suddenly short-circuited and then the power went out. Since I don't know anything about electrical appliances, I couldn't fix it myself, so I had to Asleep. Before your visit today, I called the apartment manager and he told me that as long as the safety switch at the gate is turned on, there will be electricity."

Sergeant Emov saw the tropical fish swimming in the nearby fish tank and knew that Milasova had lied.

What is the evidence that can debunk Mirasola's lies? "

If there is a power outage on a cold night, the water in the fish tank will become icy cold, and tropical fish cannot survive the low temperature.

thief in winter
Mr. Lotter is an archaeologist with an easy-going personality and lives alone in a villa in the suburbs.Due to work needs, he has to go out every year. When he is not at home, he entrusts his neighbor Rameau to look after the house for him.

One morning, Lott returned after a three-month absence.Lamo hurriedly told him that his house was burglarized the night before.When Lott entered the house, he found that the house was turned into a mess, all the boxes and cabinets were opened, and several valuable antiques and a large sum of money were stolen.Lott immediately called the police.

After hearing the news, Sergeant Ma Bin asked Lamo about the situation on the day of the incident.Rameau said: "Last night I was sleeping soundly. Suddenly I heard a noise in Lotter's house, so I got up to see what happened. I went to the window of the villa. Because of the cold weather outside, the glass was covered with frost. There was a thick layer of frost, and I couldn't see anything clearly. I took a few breaths of hot air on the glass, and then I saw someone rummaging through the house. I rushed in immediately, but the thief was very cunning and let him slip away It's..."

"Okay!" Ma Bin interrupted him and said, "It's time for your performance to end! You are a thief!" Lamo was shocked, and had to admit the fact that he was guarding himself and stealing under cross-examination.

What is the flaw in Rameau's confession?
Frost on the glass will only be on the indoor side.

leftover blood

Dr. Hansen's scientific research results have been coveted by a big hospital for a long time, but Dr. Hansen has never wanted to sell the patent to that hospital.The hospital then hired the thief Mary at a high price and asked her to steal Dr. Hansen's research materials.

One night after observing the doctor's residence for a long time, Mary sneaked into the courtyard of Dr. Hansen's house to wait for an opportunity to commit crimes, but after waiting for an hour, Dr. Hansen still did not go to bed.Mary began to get impatient, and the mosquitoes kept biting her hands and face, and she kept flapping.

After a long wait, the doctor finally rested. Mary got into the room through the window, secretly took pictures of the doctor's research paper with a camera, then put it back as it was, and quietly went out the same way.Of course, no trace was left when the crime was committed.However, three days later, Sheriff Polk came to Mary's residence.

Polk said to Mary: "Mary, we are also old friends. You were the one who sneaked into Dr. Hansen's house to secretly film the research paper?" He asked straight to the point.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I've been rehabilitated for a long time." Mary pretended not to know.

"I remember your blood type is Rh-negative type B."

"Yes. But so what?"

"Rh-negative blood type B is one in a thousand rare blood types. I found this kind of blood in the yard of Dr. Hansen's house. You, a habitual thief, must have made a mistake." Hearing Polk's words, Mary was surprised. , I was careful, I was not scratched, how could there be blood left in the yard?She was quite puzzled.

So, what is the reason why Mary's blood was kept?
It's because of mosquito bites.When Mary was lurking, the mosquitoes kept biting her. She subconsciously slapped her a few times, and the dead mosquitoes landed in the doctor's yard.Because it is the blood that has just been sucked, the form of the blood antigen in the mosquito has not been destroyed, so the blood type can be tested.

invisible missile
The phrase "to be rich without kindness" could not be more appropriate for Newton, who has millions of dollars, but is insulated from various charitable activities.Not only that, Newton is also extremely stingy with his relatives and friends.Many people hate him because of his insatiable personality.

One night, after a gunshot, Newton died in the garden of the villa.Newton's neighbors ran into his home after hearing the gunshots, saw Newton's tragic death and called the police.

After receiving the report, the police rushed to the scene to investigate and found that Newton had a wound on his chest, which was caused by a bullet.An autopsy found that the bullet accurately hit Newton's heart, and the wound was 10 centimeters deep, but the police could not find the bullet.

Due to the one-shot fatality, the police concluded that the murderer was a professional killer.In order not to leave any clues after killing himself, the killer used a special bullet, which would disappear automatically after being shot into the human body without being discovered by the police.

Do you know what this special warhead is made of?

The murderer used blood of the same blood type as the deceased, frozen it, and made it into a warhead.After this kind of bullet is injected into the human body, it will melt into blood, so the bullet will disappear automatically.

who is lying
Rebecca, the proprietress of the bar, was killed last night at about 8 o'clock, exactly 24 hours from now.

According to police investigation, the murderer may have strangled Rebecca with something like a string, but there was no murder weapon at the scene.It was Ma Wei, the building manager who found the body. He said: "I went upstairs just now and found that Rebecca's door was unlocked. I opened the door and went in. I saw Rebecca leaning on the sofa. I thought she was asleep. , just shook it, but she didn’t respond. I looked up her head and found that she was dead. I immediately called the police.” Ma Wei also told the police that Rebecca had a boyfriend who was Link, the bartender.So Link was also called in for questioning.

Link confessed to the police: "I went to find her after 9 o'clock last night and found her dead. I was afraid of being suspected, so I went back. She actually has another boyfriend. Why don't you investigate him?"

The other boyfriend Link mentioned, Neeson, is a handsome architect.Facing the police's questioning, Neeson said: "I was in the coffee shop before 10 o'clock last night, and I returned home around 11 o'clock. Do you want me to provide any clues?"

After listening to the confessions of the three of them, the sheriff said: "One of you three is lying!"

Who is the liar?
The liar is Mavey the administrator.It was impossible to lift her head because the body would harden after 24 hours.

Ants solve the case
A week ago, there were horrific shootings on First Avenue in Pennsylvania City.That day, the murderer hid on the building, aimed an infrared rifle at pedestrians on the street, and killed three innocent pedestrians.The murderer left the building quickly after committing the crime. Since there were too many nearby buildings, it was impossible for the police to monitor all the buildings.

Police believe the killer may continue to commit crimes.In order to catch the murderer as soon as possible, the police disguised themselves as passers-by, hawkers, building managers, etc., and monitored dozens of buildings along the entire street day and night.However, the cunning murderer did not commit a crime for two consecutive months.

However, the good times didn't last long. Two months later, at noon one day, a muffled gunshot suddenly came out from the bank building, a pedestrian in black fell down, and the murderer appeared again!
This time the police reacted quickly and blocked the building in the shortest possible time, but the murderer still got into the crowd.Upon investigation, police found shell casings and a discarded rifle on the top floor.

Based on this clue, the police found five suspects.One is a boxing coach who is a gun enthusiast; the other is a bank clerk who used to be a shooter; His gun hadn't been moved; the last man was a seaman who said he had come purely for the sights.All five of them insisted they were innocent.

The sheriff felt very troubled. If no evidence could be found, it would be completely unreasonable to arrest these five people together.But without detention, what if the murderer is among them?The sheriff looked down thoughtfully.Suddenly, he found that there were many ants crawling around on the handle of the discarded rifle.The sheriff immediately understood, pointed at one of them, and said loudly to the policeman, "Arrest him, he is the murderer!"

Who is the murderer that the sheriff said?
Diabetics are murderers.Due to the tension before shooting, he sweated profusely, leaving a lot of sweat on the handle of the gun.Diabetics have a lot of sugar in their sweat, which attracts ants.

A basket of stupid thieves
The widow of the Duke of Eisenburg, a famous jewelry collector, has a large diamond weighing 60 carats.The thief Willa has coveted this rare treasure for a long time, and has planned a well-planned theft plan.But on the day of action, Willa was bedridden due to illness, so he called two assistants, told them that the diamond was hidden in the secret safe in the duchess' bedroom, and ordered them to steal it.

"The safe has a rather complicated combination lock. If I go there, I will definitely open the lock, but it will not be so easy for you to deal with. So no matter what method you use, just open the door of the safe. The Duchess is traveling It's gone, now it's an empty house." Willa cheered up the assistant.

So two assistants sneaked into the house with an oxygen cutter and high-pressure oxygen cylinders.The safe was found behind a painting on the bedroom wall.Although it was small, it was made of steel, and it was embedded in the wall, so it was impossible to remove the safe.

The two picked up the oxygen cutter and started working.The scorching flames quickly burned a large piece of the door of the safe, and soon it began to melt like syrup.Soon, a large hole was cut in the safe door.One of the assistants looked into the cabinet along the hole, and there was nothing in it, only a small pile of ashes.

"That's strange. How can there be any diamonds?"

Another assistant was also very surprised. He put on fire-resistant gloves and reached in to feel it. It was indeed empty.The two returned to Willa like deflated balls.

"Why, no diamonds? How on earth did you two open the safe?" Willa asked. "We're using an oxy cutter, and it's not a big deal with it."

"What an idiot! It doesn't matter how loud the noise is, it's an empty room, why don't you use an electric drill?" Willa scolded the two assistants.

Where did the assistants go wrong?
That little pile of ash in the safe was the diamond they were supposed to steal.Diamond is the hardest of the earth's properties, but its composition is a pure crystal of carbon, and it will burn if the temperature exceeds 850°C.The flame temperature of the oxygen cutting machine is as high as 2000°C, and the diamond will naturally be reduced to ashes.

apple snitch
Detective Tom received a report call from the director of the R&D department of a certain group company. The minister said that he had just received a threatening call asking him to hand over a top-secret document, otherwise he would die.He asked the inspector to come to his house at 7 o'clock in the evening to study the countermeasures in detail.

At 7 p.m., the inspector rang the doorbell of the minister's house, but there was no answer.He turned the doorknob and found that the door was unlocked.When the inspector entered the room, he saw the minister passed out on the floor in front of the sofa, with a handkerchief reeking of narcotics thrown beside him.At this time, the minister slowly opened his eyes, instinctively touched his pockets, and cried out: "It's over, someone took away that top-secret document!"

Upon hearing this, Inspector Tom hurriedly asked, "Who is it? When?"

The minister looked at his watch and said, "About 30 minutes ago, I was eating an apple while watching TV. I heard the doorbell ring. I thought it was you. But when I opened the door, two men pointed guns at me and asked if I would This secret document. I pretended not to know it, and they immediately covered my mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and I didn't know anything after that."

Sure enough, the minister's half-eaten apple rolled and fell under the TV.Tom picked up the half of the apple and looked at the color. The bitten apple showed white flesh, so he said, "Minister, you took the initiative to sell them the top-secret documents, right?"

The minister was taken aback and said, "Me? Don't spit blood!"

"Please stop acting, the perpetrator is yourself!" Inspector Tom threw the apple in his hand in front of the minister.When the minister saw it, his face turned pale, and he helplessly handed over the huge amount of cash hidden in the closet.
