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

Chapter 91 The Missing Shirt

At two o'clock in the morning, a murder occurred in the city hospital. A nurse was stabbed to death from the back in the ward.

An eyewitness said: "Last night, I had a severe stomachache around two o'clock and I couldn't fall asleep. I suddenly heard a voice in the next ward, and felt very strange. There should be no one walking around at this time. I think maybe It was an emergency, so I got out of bed to see it. The door of the next ward was ajar. I gently opened the door and looked inside. I didn’t expect to see a person, oh, it was the murderer. My movements were very light, he didn’t I found out. The curtains were not closed, and I vaguely saw his side face and clothes through the light outside the window, but I didn’t see his face clearly. His back was facing the window, and the left back was facing me. A quarter. He was wearing a white shirt with black stripes running horizontally."

Because the patients in this hospital do not have uniform clothing.The police checked the clothes of the patients in that ward one by one.

Patient A: A brown coat, a blue shirt, and two pairs of black trousers.

Patient B: A white shirt, a pair of beige pants, and two dark blue sweaters.

Patient C: Two green T-shirts, one orange sleeve, and one pair of jeans.

One more bed was vacant.

Police did not find the white shirt with horizontal black stripes that witnesses said it had.

Detective A and his assistant X were ordered to investigate the case.

They asked the patients in that ward what they were doing.

A: "We were all sleeping at the time, what can we do so late?"

B: "Yes, the voices of nurses making ward rounds are very quiet."

C: "That's right, that's right."

This nurse is very professional and has a good relationship with patients and colleagues.But she broke up with her boyfriend recently, so she was in a bad mood recently, and even almost gave the patient the wrong medicine, was criticized by the head nurse, and half a month's bonus was deducted.

X: "Except for the patients and the dead in this ward, no one entered this ward that night. But why can't I find the white shirt? Could it be that the murderer threw him away? But it was not found nearby. That's because the witnesses made a mistake right?"

Detective A lowered his head and said nothing.He felt that although the light was not good, eyewitnesses should not be mistaken.

Seeing that he didn't speak, X said nothing more.He walked to the window, closed the blinds, and muttered: "The sun is so bright, why open the curtains?"

Detective A walked to the door, looked at the window, suddenly thought of something, raised his head and said, "I see, the witnesses are right, I know who the murderer is."

Whose shirt is that?Where is it?

[Answer] It should be B, because of the lighting effect at night and the blinds, a white shirt with a blue sweater can easily be seen as a white shirt with black horizontal stripes.
