Chapter 245 Detective and Killer, the first nested puzzle
I heard the police officer say this.
Mr. Sheriff had no trust in Su Wen. He put his cigar between his hands and squinted his eyes as he said with a scrutinizing attitude:
"Who hired you here? I don't think the Bradleys would deliberately look for an unknown detective after calling the police.
Besides, it’s still within such a short period of time.
Compared to the detective, I suspect that you have a direct relationship with this murder."
heard his question.
Su Wen didn't feel any tension or pressure.
After all, he has read the file nearly four times just for this excessive plot.
The handsome detective smiled and replied:
"I am employed by Ms. Delores Petty.
She is one of the chief prosecutors of the New York State Prosecutor's Office of the Federal Prosecutor's Office and a third-level trial specialist.
Is this name enough to dispel your concerns, Sheriff?"
That's right.
this name.
It was the person in charge that Miss Caroline mentioned.
No wonder she dared to hack into the FBI's information database.
But Su Wen hid a fact.
Dolores did not agree to hire him. On the contrary, according to Caroline's description, he needed to do something to prove himself first.
so.
Su Wen changed the logical order of everything and found a perfect opportunity for himself.
He believes.
When Dolores learns of her actions, she will fill in the last gap in this 'white lie' for herself.
Apparently, the Brooklyn neighborhood police chief didn't even reach the level of superintendent.
At the same time, under the power structure of the triangular pyramid of separation of powers in the U.S. federal government, he has no right to interfere with Attorney General Delores' matters.
So the police chief could only report it to his superiors.
At the same time, Su Wen was required to conduct a limited investigation of clues accompanied by police officers.
But these are limitations.
For Su Wen, it is not critical.
He walked into the villa and saw a dozen police officers searching for evidence in the restaurant where the victim was found.
At the same time, a little white girl of twelve or thirteen years old was leaning against the door in fear, hiding next to her mother.
[Identification: Serena Bradley, the victim’s youngest daughter]
[Identification: Yinzabella Elsey, the victim’s wife]
Just as expected.
After all, Caroline had also provided him with video information of Mr. Bradley's close people before.
But Su Wen didn't think the killer would be so bold in pretending to be Yin Sabella.
The identification results also gave correct results.
He didn't rush forward to talk.
Instead, he calmly looked around at the items placed in the room.
Among them was the glass cup with poison on the rim.
[Identification: The wine glass was smeared with neurotoxin in advance, and the toxin dissipated for nearly an hour]
in other words.
In less than an hour.
The killer had access to this cup.
This is also the information obtained by the New York Police Department’s forensic examination.
at the same time.
System prompts appear simultaneously:
[Search for the puzzle clue ‘cup contaminated with neurotoxin’]
[Please start to solve the doubts in the identification text]
Saw this line of text.
Su Wen understood why the difficulty of this game was not that high.
He has also played many puzzle games.
It's very simple. For items that can leave clues, there are errors or insufficiently comprehensive key points in the identification text.
so.
After thinking briefly, Su Wen settled on the only long sentence that might have a problem:
'The toxin dissipates for 'nearly an hour'.'
After he got an answer in his mind, he calmly walked to the door of the victim Mr. Bradley's wife:
"Ms. Yin Sabella.
Excuse me, has anyone been in this room within one hour to two hours?"
After he identified himself as a detective sent by the state attorney general to investigate a serial killer.
Sabella Yin gave an answer while hesitating:
"The maid Becca was cleaning the house two hours ago, but she has not left the house until now.
Could it be that she was the one who poisoned me?"
"No, haven't the New York police already explained it?
The toxin took effect within an hour, so she was not suspected."
Su Wen concealed his true intention with a smile.
While the killer may still be watching here.
He gave a perfect piece of false information.
In fact.
Su Wen has solved the first level of the puzzle:
[Under the influence of Kirchhoff-Bunsen burner effect:
The effect of light spectrum on the onset of toxins switches rapidly between light and dark, which also results in huge errors in timing.
in other words.
The toxin applied within an hour is indeed false information.
The murderer administered the poison far more than an hour in advance.]
so.
If the New York State Police are smart enough to crack this clue.
So, congratulations to them.
They will get a second false answer that they think is the real answer.
And in his triumph, he took away the maid Becca as a suspect and took her away.
At this time.
The real killer who observes everything in the dark will continue to act and target Selina Bradley.
But the killer probably didn't even think about it.
In just ten minutes.
Su Wen not only solved the first puzzle.
Even he already understood:
The answer to the first level of the puzzle, which was already deeply hidden, is still wrong.
therefore.
The handsome detective decided to start his plan accordingly.
Let the killer fall into the trap himself.
He elegantly said to Ms. Yin Sabella:
"Can you help me contact the maid Becca? I have two questions for her."
Hear him say that.
The hostess called over the girl who had some freckles on her face, a trembling body and looked very scared.
She whispered:
"Detective Kevin, do you have any questions?
I really don't know anything about Mr. Bradley's poisoning."
Hear her say that.
Su Wen smiled and waved his hand:
"Don't worry, you are not a suspect either.
It's just that I'm a little curious.
Does Mr. Bradley drink alcohol during this fixed period of time every day?”
Maid Becca answered honestly:
"Usually it's after dinner, but today he seemed very happy, so he started about an hour earlier."
"very happy?"
Su Wen calmly pondered the term:
"Ms. Yin Sabella, there are three maids and two chefs in your luxurious villa, right?"
The hostess nodded:
"Yes, but none of them have been in this restaurant within an hour. Only Beca cleaned it an hour ago."
[In view of the general environment, this site may be closed at any time, please move to the permanently operating source app, huanyuanapp as soon as possible]
"Can you show me the kitchen?
According to what the maid Becca said.
Now.
It should be dinner time, right?"
After hearing what he said, out of concern for Su Wen, not only Yin Sabella, but also the Sheriff of Brooklyn, New York, followed him to the restaurant with four or five police officers.
The two chefs were staying in the rest area under police guard.
Although due to the camouflage characteristics of [God of Thousand Faces], those killers cannot be directly detected by the [Identification] skill.
But Su Wen still scanned a circle with the [Appraisal] skill and found the next key clue item:
‘a [spoon]’
all of these.
This completely proves the correctness of his nested inference.
The killer of [The God of Many Faces] is hidden among these two chefs.
The message on the spoon was clearly described:
[Identification: A spoon used for tasting soup has been cleaned.
