1 minute to solve the case

Chapter 9 Pure Thought (8)
On this day, Hammer and his accomplices drove a sailboat and came to a city to secretly connect with a local drug cartel.In order to obtain conclusive evidence, the criminals were wiped out.Under the leadership of captain Hagen, the anti-narcotics police did not attack Hammer, but secretly monitored him, hoping to get acquainted with how many Hammer's accomplices and their activities.

Soon, Hagen discovered that there were 1 captain, 5 sailors and 1 cook on board.

Through observation, Hagen found that every morning at 800 o'clock, the owner would go to the deck, exercise his muscles and bones, take a breath of fresh air, and then go back below the deck.

At 900:[-] in the morning, the chef will step out of the cabin, ride a bicycle and go to the street to purchase.

The other 5 sailors worked on the ship in the morning, went out to play in the streets in the afternoon, and got drunk in the evening, humming ditties and returning to the ship, like this every day.

And the cook always follows the same route every day: first to a bakery, then to a wholesale spice store, then to a butcher's, a dairy, a restaurant, and finally to a newsstand to buy the day's paper.At each location, the chef makes short stops.

After several days of observation, because nothing was found, the Interpol police officers couldn't sit still, showing impatience, and said to Hagen, "I don't think we can find any clues!"

Hagen looked at the anxious colleagues, but said with confidence: "I have found the clues, we will attack now to ensure a complete victory."

If, as Hagen said, Hammer and his drug trafficking members are dealing drugs in this city.

How did Hagen discover the clue?

On a boat with only 7 people, no matter how big the meal is, there is no need to buy condiments every day; even if you buy condiments every day, you don’t need to go to the wholesale condiment store. Stores are where drug dealers meet.

barbecue on the stove
Bill and his wife Lisa have a small farm. They have no children and live a happy life.They seldom go out except to buy food in the city or sign a contract for the sale of crops.

One day, when his wife returned home from purchasing necessities in the city, she found Bill dead beside the stove with a dagger stuck in his chest.

The wife who was in a trance immediately called the police, and the police officer Jerich came and checked the scene: there were some flameless charcoal blocks in a grill pan with beef roasted on it.Trays, knives and forks, and seasonings are scattered aside.After Jerich examines the body.Confirm that Bill was killed about 1 hour ago.

According to the traffic and living conditions of the farm, Jerich immediately launched a hunt, but only saw one person within a 10-mile radius.Jericho brought the man to the murder scene.The man said that he was a traveler, he was hungry and was looking for a place to eat.When you see the barbecue on the stove, you reach for it and eat it with your mouth open.

"Sir, eat slowly. I just want to ask you one question, where were you an hour ago?" Jerich asked while looking at the man.

"I'm lost here. I don't know where I am. Anyway, I should be in this farm. Hey, Mr. Police Officer, please wait until I finish eating this barbecue and I will tell you in detail." He took out a piece of roast meat and put it in his mouth generously.

His little action was clearly seen by Jericho.Jerich's eyes lit up, and he took out the handcuffs and said, "Sir, your acting skills are too bad, please follow me to the police station!"

How did Jericho see that this man was the murderer?

Since this person said that he was lost and had never been here, he knew that the charcoal was cold enough to put his hand in without getting burned. Didn't he make a logical error?Obviously he was the murderer.

death of a psychologist
Aoki, a psychologist, is a scholar with great development potential in a university. He swears never to marry for the sake of his knowledge.Therefore, many people who visit his home will find that his home is full of books and manuscripts except for a maid who is in charge of his daily life.

May 5 is a great day for the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the Department of Psychology, and everyone is busy preparing for the upcoming celebrations.The school leaders, department leaders, etc. have all finished their speeches, but there is no Aoki who wants to speak on behalf of the teacher.The principal immediately sent someone to look for him at Aoki's home, but found that Professor Aoki had died at home.

After receiving the report, the police rushed to the scene immediately.Inspector Adams arraigned the maid.

The maid cried and said to Adams: "About two hours ago, Mr. Aoki asked me to give him a glass of whiskey with ice, and then asked me to prepare water for him to take a bath. He also said that he would sleep for a while after the bath, and told me to wait two hours later. Wake him up. Because he was going to a departmental celebration. But I knocked on the door many times and he didn't respond, so I opened his bedroom door, and he was foaming at the mouth by then. It's on the ground."

Adams began to check the glass that Aoki had drunk, and found that in addition to ice cubes, there were sleeping pills in the glass that Aoki had drunk.

On the surface, Aoki seems to have committed suicide, but Adams believes that this is a murder case, and the murderer is the maid.

Why did Adams think the maid was the murderer?
Adams found that the ice cubes in the wine glass had not melted in the glass after two hours, indicating that the glass of wine was placed in the room after Aoki's death.This proves that the maid is lying, and the purpose of lying should be to cover up her behavior. Therefore, it is certain that the maid is a murderer.

suicide note written on the back
Ishihara was the president of a company. Due to a traffic accident, he died after lying on the hospital bed for many days, leaving a large amount of inheritance.According to the law, his only daughter Qingzi should be the legal heir.

On this day, just after the funeral, the lawyer called Qingzi to talk to her about her father's inheritance rights.Before he could speak, Shi Yuan's younger brother Shi Jing walked in through the door and said:

"Dear niece, dear lawyer, my brother's estate should be half of mine!"

"What, half of you! It's impossible!" the lawyer said firmly.

"Please don't worry, I have a suicide note written by my brother here." While talking, Ishii took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to the lawyer.

The lawyer took the letter and took out three pieces of paper from it. He looked carefully and saw that the handwriting was very scribbled, but he could clearly see the general meaning of the letter:
"During my lifetime, my younger brother took care of me. I am very grateful. As a reward, I will donate half of my property to you. I am afraid that my daughter will object, so I made this will."

After reading the letter, the lawyer thought about it and asked Qingzi, "Do you think the handwriting on this letter was written by your father?"

Qingzi said: "After my father had a traffic accident, he has been bedridden in the hospital bed, especially since he couldn't turn over, his arms were bandaged, and he always lay on his back on the bed out of breath every day. So I don't know whether my father can write or not. I know, but I'm not sure if the handwriting on this letter was written by my father!"

The lawyer asked Ishii again: "When did Ishihara write your suicide note to you?"

Ishii said: "My brother opened his eyes one day, and with his face up, he wrote this letter to me crookedly with a ballpoint pen. Because my brother holds the pen on his back, his handwriting is crooked."

Hearing this, the lawyer couldn't help laughing: "You liar, how dare you forge a suicide note to deceive your own niece, I think you should stop talking!"

Why did the lawyer say that the suicide note produced by Ishii was forged?
A seriously ill patient was lying on his back on the bed, with bandages on his arms, how could he write a suicide note with his wrists hanging, and it was written on three pages of letterhead!This is against logic.

who is lighting the fire
One night, Takehiko Saburo received a call from his sister, saying that he had something urgent to go to her house immediately.

It turned out that his sister had encountered a difficult matter.Her friend Atsuko Kawasaki had something to live in her house tonight, but when this friend was taking a bath before going to bed, he had a sudden heart attack and died in the bathtub.Takehiko Saburo's sister dared not notify the police station, fearing that the police would suspect that she had killed Kawasaki Fumiko and cause trouble, so she begged Takehiko Saburo to send Kawasaki Fumiko back to the bathroom of the villa where she lived alone, as if she had died there.

Takehiko Saburo and his sister arrived at Fumiko Kawasaki's house at about 430 Kiyozan, and it was still dark, and the house was located in the forest. Not noticed by anyone.They took off the deceased's clothes, put on the clothes she usually wore, and made her sit in front of the desk in the study, pretending that she died suddenly of a heart attack while reading a book at the desk.

"She died during the day before yesterday, so I have to turn off the lights in the room." My sister even noticed the details.

"What about this kerosene stove? Is the fire on?" Sanlang asked his sister after seeing a small kerosene stove in the house.

"Yes, she is a person who is afraid of the cold, and there seems to be no heating here, so it is better to light the fire." Sanlang lit the fire again.

The two turned off the lights in the house, left the curtains open, and left the house quietly.It was done so cleanly that no fingerprints were left, so that there was no evidence that the body had been brought from elsewhere.

At around 1500 that afternoon, Kawasaki Ayako's body was discovered by the villa administrator during regular inspections, and he quickly reported it to the police station.After the forensic examination, he said: "The cause of death was heart disease and he died naturally."

Police officer Miyahara, who was investigating the cause at the scene, hurriedly asked, "When did you die?"

The forensic doctor said: "More detailed information needs to be dissected to determine the autopsy, but it probably took less than two days to die."

Officer Miyahara looked at the red flames of the kerosene stove for a long time, and suddenly noticed something.

"If this is the case, even if it is a natural death caused by a heart attack, it must not have died in this room, but must have died somewhere else. It must have hindered someone and moved the body here, pretending to be in this room. Dead. Otherwise, I have to believe that the corpse can be set on fire." Police officer Miyahara immediately saw through the truth of the incident.

What made Officer Miyahara discover the truth?

Officer Miyahara became suspicious when he saw that the kerosene stove was still burning.If Kawasaki Fumiko died suddenly in her own room, then 45 to [-] hours after her death, the kerosene stove should have been exhausted, but the fact is that the kerosene stove is still burning, which is illogical, because a dead person cannot light a fire .

cliff jumping glasses

The police received a report that a male body was found under a seaside cliff in Shihaizi, a famous tourist scenic spot.

Inspector Hashimoto immediately rushed to the scene with capable assistants.I saw the male corpse lying on the gravel under the cliff, covered in blood, wearing a coat, wearing shoes on one foot, and the other foot was bare. A pair of sunglasses was placed on the bridge of the dead man's nose. The steep cliff is more than 20 meters high.

The relatives of the deceased who heard the news said that the deceased had recently failed in business, but he was a strong person, and it was not the first time he had failed. A person with his personality would not choose death to escape.

The assistants carefully surveyed the terrain and inspected the scene, and they all came to the same conclusion that it was a suicide case.

Hashimoto didn't think it was suicide, but he couldn't come up with conclusive evidence for a while.So he began to carefully observe the corpse and its surroundings.Suddenly, he yelled: "This is not a suicide case, this is a murder case! The body was brought here and placed here, and then it was disguised as the illusion that he committed suicide!"

The assistants and the onlookers were discussing and staring at him in a daze. What did the inspector find?What made him say with such certainty that it was not a suicide?

With meticulous observation, the inspector found a pair of sunglasses on the bridge of the nose of the corpse.If it was a suicide, the glasses would have fallen off when they jumped off the cliff, and it was impossible for them to remain on the bridge of the nose properly.This is illogical.

unknown robber

Green Bank was robbed, and after a surprise interrogation of the captured criminal Karl Matthews, Sheriff Brandt knew that the money was hidden in a woman named Angelica.So Sheriff Brandt and his assistant immediately drove to Angelika's house.

After ringing the doorbell for a long time, the door opened.It was Angelika, the woman they were looking for, who came to open the door.She let the two of them into the room and said, "What are the two gentlemen doing?"

"Ma'am, do you know a man named Karl?"

"Carl? I've never heard of it."

"We just came from the police station, but he said he knew you."

Angelika took a puff of cigarette calmly and said, "There are many people named Carl in this country. If they all say they know me, will you bother me too? Oh, God. I really wish I could throw you out of the window." go out!"

Pointing at her, Brandt said, "Carl robbed $19 from the bank. The police responded quickly, and within 24 hours, he was arrested. We had a long conversation with him, and he has fully confessed."

"I don't know Carl, and I'm not interested in bank robberies. I'll say it for the last time, I don't know Karl Matthews at all!"

"You really don't know each other?"

"Yes, I don't know!"

Brandt angrily pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket, and said, "Thank you for your cooperation. In view of your honesty, please sign your name on the arrest warrant."

What went wrong with Angelika to allow the sheriff to arrest her with such certainty?
The lady repeatedly claimed that she did not know Carl, but she knew Carl's full name was "Carl Matthews," and she clearly knew more than just him.

who is the watch thief

Meiheng Department Store has a new batch of gold watches. Due to the promotional promotion in advance, when the new watches are launched, there is an endless stream of people who buy gold watches at the counter. They all want to have a look, and many people rush forward.The salesperson didn't like it, and hurriedly said: "Everyone, don't push forward, pay attention to safety."

But how could the crowded crowd still listen?The crowd was squeezing and squeezing.

With a "snap", the counter was squeezed and shaken, and some restless people started to do it.

At this time, a salesperson found that a gold watch was missing from the counter.Then he shouted: "Who stole the gold watch?"

The security personnel in the hall heard the shout and immediately came to maintain order and arrested 4 suspects.At the same time, the testimony of the four suspects was recorded.

In order to solve the case as soon as possible, everyone called and invited the great detective Oumen to assist in the case.

After Oumen arrived, he asked the salesperson first, and the salesperson gave him the clue: "One of the gold watches is missing, so one of the four people is a thief." Oumen read the confessions of the four suspects again, and only See the confession that says:

A said: "I saw that B stole the watch."

B said: "It's not me! C stole the watch."

C said: "B is lying, he is trying to frame me."

Ding said, "I don't know who stole the watch. Anyway, I didn't steal it."

After the great detective Oumen read the confessions of the four suspects, he immediately found clues and revealed the truth of the case.

It turned out that the thief was indeed among the four of them, and only one of them was telling the truth, while the confessions of the other three were all lies.

Dear reader, do you know how Omen reasoned?

Omen reasoned this way.If B is a thief, then the other three are not thieves.And A said that B is a thief, so A told the truth; since B is a thief, then D is not a thief. It can be seen that D said: "Anyway, I did not steal." This sentence is also true.So A and B told the truth, which contradicts the principle of "one truth and three falsehoods", so B is not a thief.In the same way, it can be inferred that neither A nor C are thieves, and the thief is naturally D.

suspect on the train

"Woo--" A train was driving fast on the land of the western United States.Some of the passengers were sleeping, some were reading newspapers, and some were playing chess.

In one compartment of this train, there are 10 suspects who split up and committed crimes all over the country, and they don't know each other.Each person has a code name, namely: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.According to Datouqi's instructions, they came to the compartment of the train bar for a secret meeting, sat down in the order of code names, and accepted the task.

Inspector Aton received a secret order from his superiors and boarded the train early.When he came to the bar car, he found 10 people gathered around a round table. The inspector had sharp eyes. He guessed that everyone's seat number must be their code name.

Soon, it's time for dinner.The suspects began a conversation in coded language.After the meal, they divided into four groups and dispersed to the front and rear of the train. Only two people remained at the round table sitting still and continuing to eat.The position of these two people happened to be face to face.

At this time, Detective Ferid came in and said to Inspector Aton: "According to the characteristics provided by the intelligence, these two people sitting face to face are the leaders of their operation team.

"Okay, I think the time has come, arrest them immediately!" Inspector Aton ordered.

Immediately, the two bosses were arrested by the inspector.

Agent Philid asked, "What's your code name?"

One person kept silent and stared resentfully; the other said challengingly: "I only know that the sum of the seat numbers of each of the four groups is equal to the seat number of one of us."

Ferid was a little annoyed, but Inspector Aton said very happily: "Do you think you are very smart! I already know your code names now!"

What are the code names of these two people?

这两个人的代号是5和10。4组嫌疑犯的代号分别是：1和9；2和8；3和7；4和6。

sheriff's reasoning

Police officer Rudolph walked into Sheriff Heidegger's office with a case file and placed it respectfully on his boss's desk.

"Sheriff, at 4 o'clock on the night of April 14th, a large number of valuables were stolen from a super shopping mall near the Hyde Theater, and the criminal drove away with the stolen goods. Three suspects have been arrested and recorded, please instruct!"

Sheriff Heidegger glanced at his right-hand man, opened the case file, and saw Rudolph writing on a piece of paper:

Fact 1: Except for the three persons a, b, and c, it has been confirmed that this case is not involved with anyone else;
Fact 2: If suspect c does not have suspect a as an accomplice, he cannot go to that supermarket to commit a crime;
