1 minute to solve the case

Chapter 51
It was only early April, and Francis felt hot because he was nervous.Francis affixed the stolen stamps to the blades of the fan and turned on the fans so that no one else could see the stamps.

Robbery after the rain
Wu Zhixiong went to visit Captain Liu of the police station at lunch time, and Captain Liu treated him to a big bowl of pork chop rice, because that's why he came here.Captain Liu shook his head helplessly. Ever since they met, Wu Zhixiong's life has never improved.

"There haven't been any major cases these days. A few days ago, a policeman whose name resembled mine cracked a shooting case, and the media reported it. It's really unfair. The robbery I solved last time, why? Why is there no one to interview me?" Wu Zhixiong said while licking the rice grains in his rice bowl.

A heavy thunderstorm suddenly fell outside the window, which dispersed the pedestrians on the street.After a while, the rain stopped and the wind stopped, and a bright rainbow appeared in the clear sky!

"Wow, what a beautiful rainbow!" Captain Liu opened the window and said with a smile.What he was facing happened to be an east-west traffic artery, and the rainbow appeared in front of his eyes at a glance.

"Speaking of rainbows... I remembered that there is a seafood restaurant in Keelung, and the red fish there is very good..." Wu Zhixiong said while picking his teeth with a toothpick.

At that time, a jewelry store by the roadside was suddenly broken into by some gangsters, who robbed a lot of gold rings and dozens of gold necklaces.

Captain Liu hurried to the scene, investigated the characteristics and appearance of the gangster in detail, and ordered a comprehensive investigation of the gangster who had just escaped.After a long time, three suspects who fit the shape were caught.

The first suspect said excitedly: "What robbery? What time did that happen? 5:30? I was eating noodles at a snack bar near South Park, and I hid for a while when it rained. When the rain stopped, it was only I was arrested not far away, why?"

The second suspect said: "Suddenly there was a heavy thunderstorm. I was afraid of lightning and thunder, so I went to a nearby coffee shop to shelter from the rain. When the rain stopped, I walked to the church and suddenly saw a rainbow, so I stopped to look at it. Because I watched it for too long and the sun was too bright, I left. But I was arrested by the police, I don’t know why?”

The third suspect also went on to say: "My girlfriend and I were buying books in the bookstore. Because of the rain, we had to stay in the store. After we came out, we separated and went home. What? Looking for my girlfriend? Don't be kidding." , she's just a little girl I met in a bookstore, I don't even know her name. What rainbow? I didn't see it, and I didn't do anything anyway."

Wu Zhixiong crossed his arms for a while, and scratched his hair for a while, but he didn't have a clue.Captain Liu was silent for a while, and concluded that one of the three people was lying.Think about it, do you know who is lying?

The robber is the second person, because according to the law of nature, the position of the rainbow is always opposite to the sun, so when you look at the rainbow, you will never feel that the sun is dazzling.

who stole my room

Xiaoha was promoted and moved into the company's newly built automated residential building - Twin Towers as a senior employee.

"Did you know? A newcomer is moving in today." Xiao Hao said to Long Zhiyi.

"Hehe, I know what you're thinking. The old rules, the newcomer has to play tricks on him." Long Zhiyi said enthusiastically.

"Whose joke are you two going to play again? Take me with you." Xiao Xie, the receptionist in the lobby, also came to intervene.

"Okay, let's do this... this... that..."

"Hi, I'm Xiaoha, and I'm here to see the new house."

"Xiaoha," Xiao Xie, the receptionist in the lobby, checked the records, "Yes. This is your ID card. The doors of the Twin Towers are all opened with the ID card. Don't lose it. Your house is in On the 19th floor, when you find it, put this on the door. Because there are no house numbers on the 10th floor and above.”

"I still need to look for it, won't I disturb others?" Xiao Ha asked suspiciously.

"It's okay, you are the only guest on the 19th floor now."

Xiaoha was excitedly holding his ID card and waiting for the elevator, when suddenly someone patted him on the shoulder.

"Xiaoha, congratulations!"

"It's Xiaohao, you've been promoted faster than me, it's been almost a year since you moved here. I live on the 19th floor, which floor do you live on?"

"20th floor, let me introduce you, this is Long Zhiyi from the sales department." Then he said to Long Zhiyi: "This is Xiaoha from the PR department."

"Nice to meet you." While shaking hands with Long Zhiyi, Xiaoha's eyes were completely attracted by a magazine in his hand - "×××BOY".

"Ah, isn't this the best-selling "×××BOY"?" Xiaoha said excitedly, "Can you lend me a look?"

"Look." Long Zhiyi handed over "×××BOY".

"Ding……"

"Xiaoha, the elevator is here." Xiaohao said while pulling Xiaoha, who was deeply attracted by "×××BOY", into the elevator.

"Xiaoha, are you free to go drink together tonight?" Xiaohao asked in a low voice.

"Yeah." "Xiaoha, you treat me today." "Yeah..." "Ding."

"Okay, it's time to stop, don't read it." Xiao Hao grabbed "×××BOY" and said, "Don't forget to treat your guests to a drink."

"Ah? I treat guests for a drink?" Xiaoha looked confused and couldn't figure it out.

"You promised just now." Xiao Hao said, "Before that, show me your new house."

The three wandered around the 19th floor for a long time, and finally found a room with an ID card that could be swiped open.

"This is the one." As soon as he entered the room, Xiao Ha couldn't wait to run to the balcony to experience the feeling of looking at the scenery in his luxurious apartment.

"Okay, don't be moved yet." Xiao Hao urged, "It's getting late, let's go drink and celebrate."

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

"If you don't go to the tavern, it will be full." Xiaohao said, and then gave Xiaoha "×××BOY", and said, "I'll let you read it, let's go."

The next morning, Xiaoha woke up from the dream with a headache.He drank too much last night, and it turned out that Xiao Hao sent him back.After washing and grooming, Xiaoha visited the new house inside and out again, and shouted a few times excitedly on the balcony.At about 10 o'clock, Xiaoha put the number plate on the door and left.

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Xiaoha returned to the Twin Towers with a lot of luggage.

"Yeah, why is my house number missing! Who did the prank? The ID card doesn't work either. What's going on? This is indeed my ID card, and I marked it. Did I get the wrong room? "

Xiaoha hurriedly tried the ID card on the doors of other rooms on the 19th floor, but he couldn't find his room after scanning all the doors on the 19th floor.

The sweaty little Ha yelled, "Who stole my room..."

Xiaoha, who lived on the 18th floor, was deceived into saying that he lived on the 19th floor. After being taken to the room on the 18th floor, Xiaoha went to drink.Xiaoha went back to the room. Since the ID card was on the 18th floor, he couldn't open the room on the 19th floor.

ice suspect
January is the snowy winter in Scotland.Many tourists make a special trip here to enjoy the snow-swept scenery and enjoy sports on the ski slopes.Holmes and Watson also left the humid and foggy London and went to a friend's house near the ski resort.They ski during the day and read at night, planning to spend a pleasant winter here.

After dinner that day, Holmes and Watson went for a walk outside the house.It was snow-capped outside, and the deerskin boots made a rustling sound when they stepped on the snow, and the surrounding was silent, just like a fairy tale world.When they turned around a small bush, a man in a black coat suddenly jumped out from behind the bush.He was wet all over, shivering in the cold wind.Seeing Holmes and Watson, he immediately shouted: "Come on, someone has fallen into the water, come and help him!"

"What's going on?" The enthusiastic Watson hurried over and asked him, "Who fell into the water? Where is it?"

The man grabbed Watson's hand and said, "My friend and I were out for a walk. We were walking across the frozen lake when a thin piece of ice broke and my friend fell. My God! I didn't hold back." He, and then I jumped into the water, but I didn't find him, so I had to run to find someone to help, let's go and save him!"

Human life is at stake!Without saying a word, Holmes and Watson immediately ran towards the lake with the man.They trudged through the bushes, over a mound, and over the ice.Seeing that the man's black coat was almost frozen, Holmes hurriedly took off his own coat and put it on for him.

After half an hour, they finally reached the place where the accident happened.Due to the heavy snowfall, a thin layer of ice has formed on the cracked ice.After such a long time, it seems that the person who fell into the water has no hope of surviving. "John, my friend, I'm late!" the man threw himself on the ground, crying bitterly.

Holmes stopped him and said, "Don't worry about it. You've done a pretty good play, but it's a pity you ran into us. Although you planned it carefully, you still left a loophole."

Watson asked a little puzzled: "The dead man has not been salvaged yet, and the cracked part of the ice is completely formed naturally, unlike artificial cutting. How do you judge that his friend was killed?"

Holmes smiled and said: "It is true that the ice was indeed broken naturally, but this does not mean that his friend fell down by mistake. According to my judgment, he probably killed him and threw him into the lake!" "

Do you know why the great detective Sherlock Holmes can see through the tricks of murderers?Where did the murderer show his weakness?

The man is wet.The place where the incident happened was half an hour away from where he appeared. His whole body should be frozen to the point of freezing. He killed his friend and then pushed him into the frozen lake.

missing murder weapon
One dark night, policeman Kimura was riding a bicycle to patrol along the road by the river.Suddenly, a gunshot was heard from the bridge about 100 meters downstream.Kimura immediately pedaled towards the bridge.As soon as he got on the bridge, he saw a woman lying in the middle of the bridge, and a man beside him. The man ran away when he saw someone coming.At the same time, Kimura heard a "plop", as if something had fallen into the river.

Kimura chased after him on his bicycle, knocked down the man with his bicycle, handcuffed him, and turned back to the woman lying on the bridge.

She was shot in the left chest and was dead.

"Who is this woman?"

"I don't know. As soon as I got on the bridge, I saw a woman lying there. I was shocked. The murderer must have fired from the other side of the river."

"Lie! She was shot at close range, and there is a gunpowder-black charred mark on her left chest. This is the evidence. You were the only one on the bridge when the shot was fired, and you are the murderer."

"Hmph, if you doubt me, just search your body and see if I have a gun."

The man argued.Kimura searched his body, but found no pistol, nor did he find a pistol on the bridge or beside the body.This is a suspension bridge with a length of 30 meters and a width of 5 meters. The criminal cannot hide the murder weapon somewhere in a short time.

"Is that thrown into the river? I heard something fell into the water just now." "That's because the strap of my clogs broke and I couldn't run when I was running away, so I threw it into the river. Don't believe me." Look!" The man raised his left foot and said with a smile.

The man's left foot was indeed bare, and only his right foot was wearing clogs, which were a kind of big square clogs.Helpless, Kimura had no choice but to take him as a suspect into a nearby police station and report the situation to the General Administration by phone.

The criminal police rushed to the scene immediately to investigate and collect evidence, and in the early morning of the next day, they searched within 100 meters of the upstream and downstream of the river with the bridge as the center.

The depth of the river is about 1 meters, and the flow rate is not very fast, so if the gun is thrown into the river, it will sink to the bottom of the river within a short distance.However, despite the use of electric detectors and a thorough search of the river bottom within the search area, no trace of the pistol was found.

At the same time, the results of the paraffin test showed that the man who was regarded as a suspect had indeed used a pistol.His right hand was covered with particles of gunpowder, the dregs of gunpowder sticking to his hand in fine particles after the pistol shot.In addition, based on the bullets taken out of the body, it was presumed that the murder weapon was a double-caliber small pistol.

It was finally discovered upon careful investigation that the pistol had drifted far downstream from the bridge.It just so happened that there was no moon that night, and the night was pitch black, so Kimura naturally didn't see the pistol floating away on the river.

So, how did the killer hide the pistol after he shot the woman on the bridge?

The criminal tied the pistol to clogs with strong paper string and threw it into the river.In this way, the clogs replaced the float bag, and the small pistol would not sink to the bottom of the river, but float downstream.

late night tracking
In late autumn, after midnight, detective Takeuchi patrols the deserted residential area.Suddenly, a man rushed out from the alley and almost bumped into Takeuchi.Fortunately, Takeuchi dodged quickly, but the handbag the man was wearing touched Takeuchi's waist and fell to the ground.

The man quickly picked up the purse and ran away like a rabbit.Because of the darkness, Takeuchi couldn't see the man's face clearly, but only remembered that he was a guy with sunglasses and a big beard.Detective Takeuchi felt suspicious and wanted to chase after him to inquire, but the guy ran very fast and got into a building 150 meters away in a while.

Immediately afterwards, there were panicked footsteps in the alley, and another man ran out. Seeing Takeuchi, he hurriedly asked, "Where did that guy go?"

"Over there." Detective Takeuchi pointed to him.

"Hey, wait a minute, I'm the police, what happened?" As he said, Takeuchi showed him his police ID.

"It's great to meet the police, please catch that guy immediately. That guy is a robber who robbed a taxi. He hit me on the head, took my cash and ran away." Said the taxi driver Painfully clutching the back of her head with her hands.

So, Takeuchi and the taxi driver ran towards the building where the criminal got into.

The first floor of that building is a warehouse with closed shutter doors and windows. There are stairs on both sides of the building, and there are two rooms side by side on the second floor.The perpetrator must have been hiding in one of the rooms.

Takeuchi and the taxi driver looked at it, and the first house number read "Masao Yamamoto".For the sake of caution, the criminal police officer Takeuchi asked the driver before knocking on the door: "When you see the criminal's face, can you recognize it right away?"

"Not sure. He wore dark glasses and had a beard, but he must have had a handbag. I can't remember the rest. Didn't think he was a robber. I didn't notice when I got in the car..."

It took a while for the door to open after knocking.A young man showed his head.The driver looked at the young man's face seriously. "There is no beard on the chin, it seems that he is not this person." The driver shook his head without confidence.

After showing his police ID, Takeuchi asked, "You are Yamamoto, right? Have you been staying at home tonight?"

"Yes, I started listening to the stereo three hours ago."

"But I didn't hear a sound at all."

"I listened with headphones. What's the matter?" Yamamoto asked impatiently.

"A mugger escaped into this building just now, and we are looking for him."

"Do you think I'm the robber? How foolish to think!"

"It's not confirmed that it's you. But just to be on the safe side, please let us see your room." Detective Takeuchi entered the room without further explanation.This is a one-by-one house.In a room built of eight mats, there is a set of stereos, with headphones plugged in.Takeuchi picked up the earphones and listened to them. A majestic symphony was playing in the earphones, which made his ears hurt.

"Ah, that's the handbag." The driver saw the handbag in the corner of the room, went up and opened it to check.It was stuffed with dirty clothes, cans of beer, instant noodles and books.

"A friend of mine left it here yesterday. Take a can and drink it." Yamamoto took out a can of beer and opened the lid as he spoke. The beer foam sprayed all over his face, and he couldn't help but screamed strangely. , quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe his face.The driver looked at him with a smile, and noticed that the sunglasses were on the stereo.

"Put these on and show me." Takeuchi picked up the sunglasses and asked Yamamoto to put them on, while the driver looked at him seriously.

"It's very similar, but he doesn't have a beard, so I can't be sure." He muttered regretfully.

"Don't be suspicious, I've been listening to Beethoven for three hours." Yamamoto took off his sunglasses angrily, "If you doubt me, you might as well check the person in the next room. That guy is even more suspicious. That poor painter named Kikuchi."

Takeuchi and the driver then left and went to the next door.After knocking on the door, it took a while for the door to open.A sleepy man in pajamas came out and opened the door. "Hey, this one doesn't have a beard, how weird." The driver looked at the protruding face, disappointed.

"What's the matter? In the middle of the night..." Kikuchi said angrily.

After showing him the police ID, Takeuchi asked, "What time did you sleep?"

"What time is it?"

"It's more than 1 o'clock in the morning."

"That was 4 hours ago, what happened?"

"We're looking for the robber who robbed the taxi. Please let us in the room."

"Don't be kidding, I was quarreled by you when she was sleeping soundly. What kind of robbers are you looking for to rob a taxi? Do you have a search warrant?"

"If that's the case, there's no other way, please come with us to the police station." Takeuchi said so mysteriously.

"Then it's up to you." Kikuchi reluctantly let them into the house.

This is also a set of houses.The house was full of easels, canvases, and not even a place to stand.The driver saw a handbag under the bed, opened it and looked, it was full of painting utensils and several cans of orange juice.

Takeuchi also opened the door of the closet to check, no one was hiding.Kikuchi watched indifferently as they searched the house.

"Thanks to you, I didn't even feel sleepy at all." He said, opening a can of orange juice and drinking it.

Takeuchi found two slices of apples left on the plate at the kitchen table. The skins and cores had been removed, but the apples had not changed color.

"When did you eat this apple?" Takeuchi asked.

"Before bed."

"In that case, wouldn't the apple change color? In fact, you must have just escaped and peeled an apple in a hurry to cover up, right?"

"You guys doubt me so much, why don't you just taste it yourself." Kikuchi said angrily.

To be on the safe side, Takeuchi picked up a piece and tasted it. It tasted good, but it was salty.

"Come on, I know who the robber is." Takeuchi detective said so decisively, which surprised the driver.

So, was it Yamamoto or Kikuchi who robbed the taxi?What evidence is there?

It's Yamamoto. If Yamamoto is telling the truth, the beer has been quietly placed in the handbag. When it is opened, it will not spray out a lot of foam. Only after vigorous shaking will there be a lot of foam.
