Chapter 28: Resourceful strategy (8)
"You're lying!" Before Robert could finish speaking, David angrily scolded: "You liar! I solemnly tell you now, if you can put this will in your hand back to its original place, I will Just admit that you are the heir!"

Robert was stunned for a moment, and had no choice but to confess that he was lying.

Why did David ask Robert to put the file back where it belonged?

Because pages 157 and 158 are the front and back of the same paper, it is impossible for Robert to find the will between these two pages, and he cannot put it back.

coat on hanger
As winter draws to a close, people in Montebane, Minnesota, USA, especially love to gather at home.On this day, Emma Wheeler, the richest woman in the city, held a party at her home, and many guests came and played until the early hours of the morning.At this time, Emma suddenly found that the priceless Chinese Ming Dynasty vase was gone, and the vase was originally placed on the table in the entrance hall.

When the police arrived, the guests had gathered in the drawing room, and Emma was standing in front, as excited as an angry collie.The police searched the entire room and the cars of the guests, but did not find the vase.

"You'll have to ask your guests," said Emma to the Inspector. "I don't think it will be of any use. At a party like this, people can't even remember what they've done, let alone notice it." other people's actions."

Philip Max stepped forward and said: "I was one of the first guests to arrive, like Julie Becker. I never left the room. If other people don't notice me, it's because half the time I stay in my bedroom watching baseball games on TV." The inspector took Philip's words and let him go.

Rod Slowitz was the second to be questioned. "I have to go home," he apologized first. "My wife will beat me on the head if I haven't fed my twins by two o'clock." Rod also claims to have never left the room. "Oh," he remembered again, "I went out once and went to the balcony on the second floor. It was very cold outside, and I will go back to the house in a while."

Julie Becker was the third to be questioned.She also claimed to have never left the room and saw nothing unusual."I've been talking to different people and tasting the sumptuous food on the table," she said. The inspector also let her go.Julie walked into the entrance hall and took her coat from the outside of the overhanging hanger.

"It seems that it will take a whole night to find the suspect." Emma complained.

The Inspector said, "No, I've seen a suspect. She's Julie Becker!"

Why did the detective think Julie Becker was a suspect?
Julie Becker, who said she was one of the first guests, also claimed she never went out.But when she went out to get her coat, the inspector found that her coat was at the outer end of the hanger, and if it was the first group of guests, her coat must have been at the innermost end of the hanger.

The fact is that when no one was in the entrance hall, Julie slipped on her coat, stole the vase, ran outside and hid it in an empty tree hollow.By the time someone found the vase missing, Julie had already returned to the room.

nun in disguise

Mumo is the ex-wife of the leader of a large criminal group. When the FBI is trying this case, Mumo is going to testify in court.To ensure her safety, they housed Mumo in a convent in downtown Manhattan, New York.Detectives believed that no overreaching thug would have dared to shoot at the convent.

During Mumo's second week at the convent, the confidence of the FBI agents took a huge hit.Mumo's skull was pierced by a .0-inch pistol bullet.The gunshots rang out in the evening when the nuns were praying.Sister Mary announced the sad news. "Mummo is dead." When she said this, the tight collar around her neck jumped up and down as she swallowed.

Detectives found Mumo's body in her room on the third floor. "I don't know how the murderer came in and killed people and escaped without being noticed." The abbot said tremblingly.

"Perhaps the killer was neither in nor out," replied Detective McCormack, who then asked the abbot, "Have any new nuns joined this convent lately?"

"Yes, there are three new nuns!" replied the Abbot.

The first nun, Mary, came to the dean: "I was on the second floor when the gunshot fired," said Sister Mary. "I quickly hid in a dark corner, terrified. A few seconds later, I saw Julie Sister Anna came down from the third floor. She didn't see me, but I clearly saw that she had a gun in her hand. After she walked over, I went upstairs and found the body."

Sister Juliana, who was transferred from New Jersey, admitted she was carrying a . , It seems that my brother is right. After I heard the gunshot, I took the gun and went downstairs, but I didn't see anything."

Sister Ursula, who was in the third-floor restroom at the time, claimed to have heard a man talking to herself as she walked after the gunfire.Ursula was the last nun to come to the chapel for Vespers.

After listening to the descriptions of the three nuns, Detective McMark immediately pointed to Sister Mary and said, "You are the murderer!" Why did Agent McMark say that Mary was the murderer?
McMack noticed that the stiff collar on Sister Mary's neck was jumping and jumping when Sister Mary was speaking and swallowing saliva. McMark immediately deduced that Sister Mary was actually a man. Adam's apple.Mumo was killed by a man posing as a nun.

porch scrubber

There are hooligans in many places. They bully the local residents and commit numerous crimes.But few were as hated as Pete at Cox Hill, and ended up like him.

One day, Pete was killed in his home.The policeman rushed to the scene immediately after hearing the report.Pete's body was on the ground in the backyard of his house. His body was covered with stab wounds. There were signs of struggle at the scene, and blood was splattered everywhere.The patrolman immediately asked the neighbors around, but the neighbors all claimed that they heard nothing and saw nothing.

At this time, a detective said to other patrol officers: "Obviously, they are lying. There were at least three people nearby when the murder happened. We should talk to them as soon as possible."

The detective was first to find Froome, who had just finished painting the porch of his home.Froome seemed a friendly young man, wiping his hands on his perfectly clean jeans before shaking hands with the Inspector.The Inspector noticed Froome's cassette recorder pinned to his belt and headphones dangling from his neck. "I've been out painting the porch all morning, and it's a lot of work. I really didn't hear a thing, I didn't see a thing," he said apologetically.

The detective then found Olsen again.Only a wall separates his garden from the garden of the dead. "I have been weeding and planting flowers, and I have been in and out of the house several times." His hands and nails were full of mud, "I turned on the air conditioner in the room, the murder must have happened while I was in the house .Sorry, I can't provide any information."

The third man the detective found was named Kenny.This is a middle-aged man with a big belly."I was cleaning windows on a ladder," he told the inspector, who noticed his T-shirt was still wet.And from Kenny's yard you can look down on the dead man's yard."I never looked into Pete's yard," Kenny said. "I was thinking about other things and I didn't see anything."

None of the three people cooperated, but the clever detective immediately said to the other patrolmen: "I have found the suspect, and this person is Froome!"

Froome claimed to have been out cleaning the porch all morning, yet his jeans were clean.This is against common sense.The explanation for this anomaly can only be that Froome killed Pete while he was working, and when Froome was almost done painting the porch, he went in, changed, and came out again to finish his work.Why does he have to change clothes?Because his old clothes were splattered with Pete's blood.

Lady Emery's Gem
Mrs. Emery is a gem merchant, and according to the rules, this year's new gemstone exhibition will be hosted and organized by Mrs. Emery.

But as soon as the meeting started, Mrs. Emery was disappointed. She thought that the jewelers should know how to dress, but the people who came didn't seem to know how to dress.Rodney from Boston is wearing a shirt that was popular in the 20s.Juli, from Atlanta, was dressed in tracksuit and rubber-soled running shoes.Klaus from Düsseldorf turned out to have one brown sock and the other blue.

Although she was quite disappointed with the guests, Mrs. Emery still seriously introduced the gemstones on display to the guests: "The quality of my gemstones is as good as before. Please watch carefully, there are absolutely no defective products."

As Mrs. Emery introduced, she was thinking in her heart: this year's gem exhibition is not as grand as previous years, as long as I can sell a piece of exquisite emerald that I carefully prepared, it will be fine, so she specially put This emerald is placed among some artificial sapphires, garnets, and bloodstones, hoping to bring out the luster of the emerald.

Just as she was introducing with relish, suddenly there was a very strong car crash on the street outside, which immediately attracted the attention of all the people who were listening to her explanation to the street. In just a few seconds, when Mrs. Emory returned Turning around, I found that everything on the table—including the worthless artificial garnet and the precious emerald—was gone.Mrs. Emory immediately reported the case, and Inspector Lear arrived at the scene immediately with his assistant.Lear inspected it and said to Mrs. Emery: "The crash in the street must have been a distraction".

Soon, Lear found a cloth bag in an alley. When he opened it, there were sparkling artificial sapphires and bloodstones in the cloth bag, but the emerald was missing.

"Looks like the burglar only wanted emeralds! I reckon it must be someone in the business," said the Inspector.

After hearing what the inspector said, Mrs. Emery suddenly realized, and said to the inspector, "I know who the thief is."

It occurred to Mrs. Emory that the thief must be color-blind, for he had not just stolen the emerald, but all the gems, in order to let his accomplice pick the emerald from the pile, so, Mrs. Emory immediately judged that Klaus, who was wearing one brown sock and one blue sock, was color blind, that is, a thief.

looking for watchers
On a cold January night, as Greeley patrolman was patrolling the door of a city store, a cat suddenly sprinted past him and into an alley.As Greeley watched the cat, he saw the flash of a flashlight in the window of Collins Jewelers.

Greeley immediately called for backup, and a police car arrived.All three officers had their pistols drawn and blocked the front and rear doors of the store.But it was too late and the thieves escaped.The police officers found that the showcase had been half opened, which meant that someone had reported to the thieves.

"They must have sentries," said Greeley.A few seconds later, his judgment was confirmed.Officers found a walkie-talkie on the floor of the jewelry store that appeared to have been lost by thieves. "Quick!" Greeley said, "I saw three people wandering outside just now, and one of them must be the sentry..."

The officers moved quickly, searching the 10-block area and arresting three people who were wandering the streets, whom Greeley can still remember.

"I'm waiting for the bus," said the first man, leaning on a white cane and wearing dark glasses. "I'm a blind man who works as an accountant next door to the Collins jewelry store. There is movement, but I can't see it."

The second person, a woman, said to the police officer, "My car is broken." She shivered in the cold wind of the night and said, "I went out to find a repair shop, and you can check my car, and now it's still alive." bad."

The third, a homeless alcoholic, was holding a half-empty whiskey bottle that had partially frozen in sub-zero temperatures. "I was thinking about my own business," he mumbled, "I wanted to find a warm place to sleep."

"A blind man, a driver in trouble, a drunk," Greeley whispered to his colleagues. "I know who's on the watch for thieves. It's the drunk."

Why did Greeley say that drunks are sentinels?
Since wine doesn't freeze, the drunkard must be faking it.The bottle he was holding must have contained colored water.Why should a sober man wander the streets pretending to be drunk?He must be the sentinel.

Li Liangshen Goose
During the Han Dynasty, there was a farmer in Pei County who raised hundreds of geese. Everyone called him "Goose King".He is very diligent with his hands and feet. Every day he goes to the river pond to catch snails and crushes them for the geese to eat. Therefore, the geese he feeds are fat and strong, and everyone loves them.

Let him interrogate, and I can take the opportunity to get away.

Li Liang spread a white cloth on the ground, drove the geese onto the white cloth, and then asked the goose loudly: "Tell me quickly, who is your master?" How could the geese understand his words?They all stretched their necks and screamed desperately. Li Liang turned his ears, as if he was listening very carefully.In this way, after half an hour, the goose really told everyone who was their real master.

Of course the goose can't speak, but how did Li Liang make the goose "tell" the truth?

After a while, the goose shit on the white cloth.Anyone with common sense in life knows that geese in the country eat rice and poop green, while geese in the city eat rice and poop is yellow.Therefore, just by looking at the color of the goose droppings on the white cloth, one can know who is the owner of the goose.

He knew that there was a sun-dried turtle whose meat was poisonous, and people would die if they ate it, but many people didn't know it.In order to find out the truth, Cao Cao came to the bride's house and asked that the tortoise was given by Cao Zui, and he understood more than half of it.However, if Cao Zui was arrested right away, he would definitely say that he didn't know that sun-belly turtles are poisonous.How can he make himself confess his guilt?
The next day, Cao Cao held a large banquet to entertain the local dignitaries and wealthy people, and Cao Zui also came.He poisoned the groom to death, thinking that he could snatch the bride, and he was very proud of it, so he ate it.Cao Cao asked someone to bring a large plate of meat, and said to Cao Zui, "This is my newly harvested hare meat. You can try it." Cao Zui took a bite and said repeatedly, "It's delicious!"
