Chapter 49: The Murder of the Poker Fortune Teller

One morning, the single poker fortune teller was murdered in his own room in the apartment.He died by being stabbed in the back with a dagger.It is speculated that the time of the murder was around [-] o'clock last night.It seems that he was attacked by surprise during divination.Playing cards were thrown all over the body.When the victim died, he was holding a card in his hand, which was a Q of diamonds.

"Why was he holding a Q of diamonds when he died?" Police officer Ping, who handled the case, wondered.

"Probably because he wanted to leave clues about the murderer, so he grabbed it." His assistant said.

"Then what does the murderer have to do with the diamond?"

"The squares of playing cards are different from the diamonds in gems. They mean currency. Spades are swords, hearts are holy grails, and clubs are clubs." The assistant explained.

Soon, the investigation results came out, and the following three suspects emerged:
Professional baseball player, director of pet hospital, song and dance actor.Among them, the director of the pet hospital is a woman, and the other two are men.

"Three people seem to have nothing to do with the squares in the playing cards." The police officer was puzzled.

"Even if it doesn't matter, this guy is still a murderer." The assistant decisively pointed out the real murderer.

So, who is the murderer?
[Answer] The murderer is the director of the pet hospital.The square Q in the playing card is the queen, that is, a woman. Among the three suspects, only the director of the pet hospital is a woman.Professional baseball players and song and dance actors are all men.In order to imply that the murderer was a woman, the victim caught the Q of Diamonds card before dying.
