Chapter 39 Mature Wisdom (5)
The sheriff asked him, "Last night, did you ever drive out?" Lorraine yawned and said, "I fell asleep early last night." The sheriff came to the garage and saw a white car , the license plate is the same as what the witnesses said, it seems that this is the car, but Lorraine said with certainty: "After I got home yesterday afternoon, this car has not been out of the garage door, someone must have read it wrong You have given me the number, and you have wronged me.” The sheriff braved the severe cold and carefully inspected the car again, and saw that everything from the body to the windshield and the four tires had been scrubbed clean without any mud. It's just that on the hood, there are a few marks like plum blossoms, and the sheriff knows at a glance that they are the paw prints of a cat.

Seeing the cat's paw prints, Lorraine said angrily: "I like to be clean. I just washed the car yesterday afternoon. I don't know which bastard stray cat made it dirty again. Alas, there are so many stray cats here, and they become dirty at night." Come out in groups, running and jumping around."

Sheriff Charles said: "Fortunately, there are cat paw prints, otherwise it would be really hard to expose your lies."

Why did Sergeant Charles judge that Lorraine was lying when he saw the cat paw print?
The hood of a car that has just been driven is very warm, and feral cats often jump on the hood to sleep in order to keep warm.Although Lorraine washed the car when he got back that night, the cat paw prints on the hood proved he was lying.

testimony of flowers
In the lobby of a hotel in Paris, a grand party is being held.Suddenly, a scream came from the crowd: "My God, my diamond is gone!"

Everyone looked around, and it turned out to be Miss Mary, a famous movie star. She yelled: "My priceless diamond is gone! I saw the thief running upstairs, but I only saw his back!"

Many young men volunteered to recover Miss Mary's diamonds, and they immediately searched up the stairs.The first resident to be knocked on the door was a businessman, and he looked very personable.

"Sir, where were you just now?" someone asked.

"Oh, I prefer to be quiet. It's too noisy down here, so I hide in the room and read alone." The businessman said, "I've been reading the book on the table!"

Everyone looked up and saw a thick book on the table, and a pot of yellow tulips beside the book. The closed petals of tulips looked very beautiful under the light.

"Miss Mary's diamonds have been stolen," a man explained to the merchant. "We're going to find the thief. Do you have any clues?"

"I heard footsteps just now, and then the door opened in the next room, could it be..." the businessman said, "I don't doubt the guest in the next room, but I have been staying in the room, but he may have gone out .”

Just as everyone was in a hurry to go to other rooms to check, a sharp-eyed young man suddenly called out: "Look, the petals of the tulips are open." He pointed at the businessman, "Ha, so you are lying! It seems that you are Thief."

Why do young people say that?Is he right?
Careful people will definitely find that the petals of tulips have changed!At the beginning, it is closed, and when people are leaving, the petals are opened.It turns out that tulips can sense changes in light.It opens its petals when exposed to light and closes them in darkness.

The businessman kept saying that he was reading a book, but when people came in, the petals of the tulips were closed, indicating that the room was dark not long ago.Who can read in the dark?So, the businessman is lying, he is probably a thief.

After a while, the passengers walked out of the cabin to the restaurant for lunch.The smugglers also went out.In order to monitor the suitcase, Cuban pretended to be obsessed with reading and couldn't bear to let go of the book, and stayed alone in the cabin.Suddenly, a fashionably dressed coquettish girl broke into the cabin, saw that Cuban was the only one in the cabin, she walked forward with a smile, pulled open the collar of her shirt, and said in a low voice, "Hurry up and hand over your wallet, or else , I just said you want to insult me." Cuban was startled, but soon calmed down.I thought to myself: I can subdue this female hooligan by showing my ID, but I can’t reveal my identity at this moment, how should I deal with it now?

Suddenly, with an idea, he used a little trick to subdue the female hooligan and get himself out of the predicament.

Excuse me, what method did Cuban use to make the female hooligan obediently submit?

Cuban pretended to be deaf and mute, and asked the female hooligan to write her words down.If the female gangster wrote it, it would become evidence.If she is not stupid, she will definitely understand that if she meets an expert, she will definitely run away.

The thief who fell from the sky

At about 10 o'clock at night, private detective Green received a call from singer Emma, ​​who lived in a nearby apartment, that her pearl necklace worth 200 million had been stolen.Due to the seriousness of the situation, Green put down the phone and went to No. 7 on the 705th floor of the apartment.

When Green arrived, Emma was still in her pajamas. She told Green that she had just returned from the television commemorative ball, and because she was going to take a shower, she took off the necklace and ring and put them on the table.When I came out of the shower, the necklace was gone, and it took only 20 minutes.But the diamond ring and the bag were still on the table, and the 50 cash in the bag was not lost.The living room window was half open and the curtains were left open.But on the 7th floor, it is impossible for any strange thief to sneak in through the window.The windows are 20 meters above the ground, and there are no balconies to stand on outside the windows.

"Did you forget to lock the door?" Green asked.

"No, it's chained in addition to the lock."

"Did you hear any noise?"

"Oh, I remembered, when I was showering in the bathroom, I heard a faint noise, which seemed to be the roar of an airplane far away."

"I see. It seems that the criminal used a model aircraft, which is a radio-controlled model aircraft." Green pointed to the apartment about 40 meters away from the opposite side and said, "The room here is very bright, and the windows are open. If you look at it with a telescope from the opposite side , there is no problem seeing the necklace on the table, so the necklace was stolen by a radio-controlled plane."

After finishing speaking, Green immediately walked towards the opposite apartment and asked the management staff there: "Who in this apartment has model airplanes?" "Oh, there are two people. One is John who lives in No. 906, and he has one A monoplane with wings on the upper part of the fuselage. The other is a college student named Joey who lives in No. 803, and he has a model of a remote-controlled helicopter." The manager told him.

"So, I know who the thief is," Green said.

The thief is Joey who owns a remote control helicopter model.If it is a helicopter, it can fly vertically and horizontally, and it can stand still in the air, so while observing Emma's room with a telescope, the criminal used radio control to induce the helicopter to enter through the window, hooked up the pearl necklace with the legs of the helicopter and stole it. .The small bag is too heavy, the helicopter will fall, and the diamond ring is too small to be stolen, so only the necklace was stolen.

Gordo was keen on collecting world famous paintings.Not long ago, he collected another portrait by a Dutch painter.His friend, the painter Paul, also couldn't put it down.Paul smiled and said to Godot: "Aren't you afraid of being stolen?"

"Of course I'm afraid, so I've already insured." Godot looked confident.

At night, someone seems to be talking in Gordo's bedroom, the voice is so small that it is impossible to tell who it is.

One night a few days later, Inspector Bill passed by the door of Godot.At this time, a small car slipped quietly to Godot's back door.A well-dressed person hurried out of the house, handed the driver a long tube, and the car drove away quickly.The handover, which took less than 1 minute before and after, seemed to be pre-arranged.

"Not good." The inspector took a few steps to the door, and just knocked on the door, Godot asked inside: "Who is it?" Then he heard that it was Inspector Bill, Godot hurriedly opened the door and said: "Please come in, Inspector."

Bill pushed the door open and saw Gordo standing beside the scattered bed, with his right foot inserted into his trouser leg and his left still outside. "I heard a noise, and I was about to put on my clothes and go out to have a look." He was a little panicked, "What happened?" "Your house may have been burglarized," Bill said.

Godot was taken aback, immediately put on his trousers, and the inspector rushed downstairs with bare heels. "Ah, it's really stolen. The famous painting by the Dutch painter has been stolen." Godot was very frustrated, "I want to get it back." Bill looked at his friend and said thoughtfully: " You took the picture out yourself." "What nonsense!" "No, I'm not talking nonsense," said Bill.

Why did Bill say that?

When a right-handed person takes off his trousers, he usually takes off his left leg first, so judging from the situation at the time, Gordo was just coming back, not going out.The well-dressed man was disguised by Godot himself. He had just returned to the bedroom and was discovered by the detective when he was taking off his pants.

never-ending banquet

On Monday morning, a service lady of a five-star hotel wanted to enter Suite 1307 for cleaning. She repeatedly rang the doorbell to inform the guests, but the guest, Mr. Bonn, never answered.The service lady invited security guards to open the door together and found the guest dead on the bed.

Criminal police and forensic investigators investigated the scene and preliminarily determined that Mr. Bonn died of heart failure during sleep. Before his death, Mr. Bonn drank a lot of alcohol and took sleeping pills.I learned from the service lady that Mr. Bonn suffers from severe insomnia and takes sleeping pills before going to bed every day.I learned from colleagues in Mr. Bonn's company that Mr. Bonn had no history of heart disease, and he went to a doctor's friend's birthday party the night before his death.

The police went to the doctor's house to investigate. The doctor described that he drank with Mr. Bonn at the restaurant last night, but it was not a birthday party, but a drink with friends.He also provided the sleeping pills that Mr Bonn took.When the police could not find any clues and were about to leave, they found the doctor's wife looked strange when she heard the news of Mr. Bonn's death.So the police launched a secret investigation and finally found out that the doctor's wife was Mr. Bonn's lover, and the doctor had also noticed their adultery.The police then questioned Mr. Bonn's colleagues in the company, and the colleagues proved that when they heard Mr. Bonn talking on the phone with the doctor, they said they were going to a reception held by the doctor.

Could it be that there is some conspiracy at this reception?Smart readers, have you guessed it?

Doctors know that taking sleeping pills after drinking a lot of alcohol can cause heart failure.And he knew that Mr. Bonn had the habit of taking sleeping pills, so he persuaded Mr. Bonn to drink a lot of alcohol at the reception, and then died of heart failure after taking sleeping pills at night.

suicide or homicide
Mr. Toldo is an old man who loves birds. After he resigned as the president of the Municipal Bird Love Association for 30 years, he lives alone in the woods far from the city, in his apartment I have raised many lovely birds, and at the same time insisted on observing the living habits of wild birds in the woods.

One day, Mr. Marty, Toldo's nephew, came to visit.He drove to the cabin where Mr. Toldo lived alone, and was surprised to find that the old man had died in front of the window. He had been shot in the head, had a revolver in his hand, and had a scribbled suicide note on his desk.

In the surrounding birdcages, the unsuspecting little birds were still chirping happily...

According to the police coroner, Mr Toldo died last night, less than 24 hours ago.

Detective Green arrived, and Mr. Marty asked in a trembling voice, "Did my cousin commit suicide?"

After carefully observing the scene, Green resolutely concluded: "No! It must be homicide!"

So, why can Green judge that Mr. Toldo's death was a homicide?
If he didn't release the birds before committing suicide, they would all die if they weren't fed and watered for a week.A person who has been the president of the City Aiwu Association for 30 years should have a deep affection for birds. Before committing suicide, he should settle his beloved birds so that they will not die due to no one taking care of them after his death. , so he must have killed him.

Chamber of Secrets
A blind girl was kidnapped in the summer of a certain year. The girl knew nothing except that the kidnappers seemed to be a young couple and that she was locked up in a hut by the sea after being kidnapped. It caused great difficulties to solve the case.Regarding the hut where she was imprisoned for three days, she just said: "This hut can hear the sound of the waves and feel the wet smell of the tide. I seem to be locked in the attic of the hut, with my hands tied and lying on a hard bed. The weather is very stuffy, but there is only one small window open in the house. At night, when a little wind blows in, I feel cooler."

Based on these clues, the police conducted a thorough search along the seashore and found two such simple huts, one with a south-facing window and the other with a north-facing window.These two rooms are empty and have been swept clean, without any sign of being imprisoned.The police believe that as long as it can be determined which hut the girl is locked in, and a young couple lived in this room recently, then the young couple is the kidnapper.However, based on the information provided by the girl, it is currently impossible to determine which hut she was kept in.In this way, it will be difficult to find out who the murderer is.

In order to clarify this problem, the police went to consult the famous detective Green.Green made a judgment immediately after asking about the situation.

These situations are:
1.The two cabins are almost identical in structure.It's just that one of the small windows of the pavilion faces north and the other faces south.

2.The direction toward the sea is south, and the north faces the hills.

3.The three days the girl was imprisoned were all sunny, with no wind at all during the day, and it was extremely hot and muggy.

So, which hut was the girl locked in?
The wind direction is related to the air pressure. During the day, the temperature on the sea surface is low and the air pressure is high, and the wind blows from the sea to the land.At night, the land temperature is low and the air pressure is high, and the wind blows from the land to the sea, so the girl is locked in a hut with an attic window facing the north.

who is playing tricks
One morning in June, nine tourists to the Isle of Skye to participate in the "Pirate Carnival" boarded the "Ruben" motor sailboat. 6 tourists, 9 men and 9 women. All 5 female guests are over 4 years old.Among the five male guests, Henry is 4 years old and is the owner of a pharmacy in London; Moore, 50 years old, is a grocery store owner, amateur photographer, with a slight lame left leg; Coxley is a taxi driver, 5 Years old; both Pickle and Lester are 26 years old and have long since retired.The purpose of their trip is to imitate the pirates, take a sailing boat, follow the pirates' tracks, shuttle between the Hebrides and various islands, and finally arrive at Mole Island, the pirate's lair hundreds of years ago.

Just at 4:30 in the afternoon, the boat docked. Nine tourists boarded a trampled path lined with bushes and weeds as tall as a person. "Look! Mr. Henry, I can't believe that this kind of plant grows on this deserted island." The female tourist Heidi pulled up a weed-like plant and showed it to Henry.

"What kind of plant is this?" Henry asked. "You don't know it?" Heidi asked Henry, who shook his head. "This is coltsfoot, a herb that can be used as a yang aid." Heidi introduced.

Unknowingly bypassing a pile of mounds, an abandoned castle stands impressively in front of tourists. "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the old castle where the pirates once lived. It is now 4:55. The pirate ghost will receive you for 15 minutes and take a group photo with you. Please prepare your cameras." Captain Jillier finished the introduction After that, the tourists were allowed to enter the castle, but he and four staff members came to a wooden house 4 meters away from the castle and sat at the table to drink.

At 5:2, just as the captain and his companions were about to leave, they suddenly saw a figure flashing outside the house, and when they ran out of the house, there was no trace of that person.The captain knew that it was definitely not a ghost, but that a tourist on the Rubin must be eavesdropping on their conversation.They searched around the house for a while, found nothing, and hurried back to the castle at 5:10.At this time, 9 tourists had gathered together on time and waited for them.

At 5:23, they returned to the Rubin, waiting to sail back, only to find that the engine inlet pipe had been cut.The captain knew that someone must be playing tricks, and this person was among the 9 tourists.

Who is the culprit?

This man is Henry.According to two:

1.Henry is the owner of a pharmacy, so he didn't even know the efficacy of coltsfoot, a commonly used herb.This shows that Henry is not the real pharmacy owner.

2.At 5:2, Captain Jillier saw a figure flashing outside the house. This must be a tourist, because apart from the tourists, all 4 staff members were in the house.When Jilier and others returned to the castle, all nine tourists were there.In just 9 minutes, the tourist had to run across the weedy path to the boat to cut off the oil inlet pipe of the engine, and then return to the castle, running about 8 meters back and forth. This is only 1400-year-old Henry This kind of strong young man can do it.

fake message
Detective Toby found Mr Tom's body lying on a desk with a bullet hole in his head.The detective also saw a tape recorder on Mr. Tom's desk. When he pressed the play button, he was surprised to hear Tom's voice:
"I'm Tom. Will just called and said he's coming here to kill me. This recording will tell the police who killed me. I've heard his footsteps in the hallway now, the door opened... ..."

Then there was a click, indicating that Tom had turned the recorder off.

"Should we go get Will?" Toby's assistant asked.

"No!" said Toby, "I'm sure another person who could imitate Tom's voice perfectly killed him, and then made this recording to frame Will!"

Toby's idea turned out to be correct in the end.

Can you tell where Toby saw the flaw?

Because if Tom had made the recording himself, he couldn't rewind the tape after he was killed, so the detective couldn't hear the dead man's recording as soon as he pressed the play button.
