Crime scene: 162 mystery solving puzzles to find out who the murderer is

Chapter 50 After the Gunshots
On Sunday afternoon, Mr. P was murdered.The sheriff came to Mr. P's neighbor Mr. M's house to investigate. Mr M told the sheriff when the homicide occurred: "My daughter and I were well aware that it was exactly 17:6 when we heard three shots. We immediately looked out the window and saw a man slipping away. , he's just one person." The sheriff inspected the scene, and he found a letter signed by Mr. P himself, which mentioned that three men had tried to murder him.

The three suspects are: Mr. A and Mr. C are football coaches, and Mr. B is a rugby coach.

The teams of these three coaches all participated in the game starting at 15 o'clock on Sunday afternoon. Coach A's team is competing for the "French Cup" in a stadium 10 minutes away from the deceased's residence; Coach B's team is playing a friendly match on a stadium a few minutes away from Mr. P's house; Take part in a championship game at a stadium 20 minutes from where the murder took place.

It is understood that the three coaches were all directing the game on the court before the referee whistle sounded the whistle to end the game, and the weather was fine that day, and the game was not interrupted.The sheriff walked around, then suddenly turned around and said to his assistant, "Bring me all three coaches."

"Guesses, how is the result of your team?"

Coach A replied: "My team drew with the green team, 3 to 3."

Coach B continued: "Oh, I lost the game, 9 to 15 to the black team."

Coach C was full of joy and said excitedly: "My team defeated the strong blue team with a brilliant record of 7 to 2 and won the championship!"

After hearing this, the sheriff sneered at one of the coaches: "Please stay and we can talk again, okay?

The coach who was detained at the police station was the criminal who shot and killed Mr. P.do you know who he is?Why?
[Answer] A football game takes 80 minutes, not including the intermission during the game, plus a few minutes of travel time, then it is impossible for coach B to reach P's house before 17:20.

The football match lasts 90 minutes. Even with a 15-minute break in the middle, it is entirely possible for the two coaches to arrive at P's house before committing the crime.

Further analysis: Coach A's team is participating in a tournament. When they draw 3:3 with the green team, they have to extend the winning time by 30 minutes, and add 10 minutes of travel time, that is, no more intermediate time. It is impossible for him to reach P's house before 17:10 during the rest time.

Therefore, only coach C can kill Mr. P, because the game time is 90 minutes, with a 15-minute break in the middle and a 20-minute journey. In this way, he can arrive at 17:5, that is, 1 minute before the gunshot.
