"Now the problem has suddenly arisen. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Who is it that William is scheduled for a date at the Fenque Qu Street train station?" Motohiko Izawa scratched his ears and cheeks.

Before the answer to this question could be figured out, the question was directly overturned, yes, it was Messerst who directly overturned the question.

But the process is not like this at all, and in Metherster's mouth, it becomes another diametrically opposed story.

[……

"'I actually landed on Tuesday, the 10th, and immediately took the train into town.

I did get a carriage to settle my luggage, just as the porter told the coachman to the court, and then I wanted to find a diner-room for a drink.

I wandered into the waiting room, and a man dressed in rags accosted me and began to tell me a sympathetic story. I don't know who he is, but he says he's a veteran who once served his country loyally, but now he's been abandoned and starving to death. He begged me to follow him to his lodgings, so that I could see his wife and the hungry children, and prove that his tragic story was true. ’”

……]

"So, who is true now?" Motohiko Izawa couldn't figure it out, and then Messer recounted that he had come to a strange place under the guidance of William.

Then William found out that Messer was not easy to deceive, so he slipped away and left him to fend for himself.

In the end, it goes without saying that murder is a serious crime, not to mention that the suspicious interests are ruined by the defendant, just to say that Messerst has a perfect alibi.

[……

"Francis Methers, of course, was acquitted, because there was not the slightest evidence against him that would justify him for criminal trial. Two points in his defence were indestructible and completely refuted the charges against him: first, he confirmed that he had never written a letter about a scheduled appointment, and second, that the man believed to have been murdered on the 10th had been seen on the 16th and was alive and well. But who is the mysterious man who informed Kershaw about the whereabouts of the millionaire Messers?"

……]

The old man summed up the problem again, but if he couldn't think of it, he couldn't think of it.

Motohiko Izawa had already thought of more than a dozen murder methods in his mind, and then in the end, he couldn't achieve this effect.

Immediately afterwards, the book's most classic and most underwhelming sentence appeared: If you will, I want to lead you step by step into my own reasoning process, which will inevitably lead you, as I did, to the only possible solution to this mystery.

"It makes sense, it's like saying that I can be the prime minister of Japan, and then how can I be the prime minister of Japan? Motohiko Izawa said.

This is the so-called beautiful thing that everyone can say, but to really achieve it, it is not so simple.

Then, Motohiko Izawa saw the most reasonable reasoning he had ever seen.

To what extent should it be, that is, 1+1=2, probably to say this, for the problem that Motohiko Izawa couldn't think of, the old man almost crushed it with strong logical thinking.

The specific reasoning goes like this-

[……

Apparently Kershaw could not have been unacquainted with Messerst, for two letters told him clearly about the latter's arrival in England. Well, it seems from the first letter that it is possible for no one to write these two letters except Methers himself, which is very clear to me. You might say that those letters have been proven not to have been written by the person sitting in the dock. Remember, Kershaw was a careless man - he lost the envelopes of both of his letters. The envelope didn't matter to him, and now it can never be confirmed that the letter was not written by Messester. ”

"But......," Polly wanted to say.

……]

It stands to reason that because the letter was clearly written, William and Messer must have known each other.

Because it was proved that it was not written by the defendant, the most likely possibility is that the letter was lost, or that the letter was not important at all, because there is no way to prove that it was not Messerster.

On this issue, Izawa Motohiko struggled for a long time, but when it came to the old man, it didn't matter at all, this Nima's sour feeling was simply refreshing.

The female reporter Bolton wanted to say something, but the old man did not give him such a chance at all, and said another obvious characteristic.

Why did Messer stay in the hotel for a day without anyone paying attention, while William stayed for a while and someone noticed.

Motohiko Izawa was stunned, indeed, this is indeed a huge loophole, William left his wallet, and the umbrella was not brought, which was too obvious.

Obviously, after Mrs. William reported the case on the 12th, on the 16th, William deliberately appeared in the hotel to make people recognize him.

There is also a little bit of how Messester knows, the owner of the hotel saw William, knowing that the case was kept secret until Merther was arrested.

Of course, these are not the most important things, Motohiko Izawa continued to watch, and saw the most important point that came out of the old man's mouth.

It is deduced that William intended it, so why did William help Messer clear the incriminating evidence?

There are too many questions, Motohiko Izawa rubbed his head.

[……

"Fourth," he continued, calmly, "no one went to ask Mrs. Kershaw for a sample of her husband's handwriting. Why? Because the police are as 'smart' as you say, and they haven't been in the right direction. They believed that William Kershaw had been murdered, so they kept looking for William Kershaw.

On December 31, two boatmen found the body of what is believed to be William Kershaw, and I have shown you photographs of the place where it was found. In good conscience, it was a dark and desolate place, wasn't it? It was a place where a scoundrel or a coward could lure an unsuspecting stranger here, kill him first, take his valuables, his papers, his identification, and leave him to rot.

……]

The logical thinking method used by the old man is completely different from the reasoning method of the detective.

Detective reasoning is to restore, the criminal methods used by criminals are like building bridges and building roads, if you can't think of it at all, there will be no drama at all.

But the old man's logic is completely different, if you can't figure it out, if you don't want to, I'll skip you, or go another way, and finally be able to reach the point.

Of course, logical reasoning must require extremely strong logical reasoning ability, otherwise you will "get lost" if you change paths.

[……

"The body was found in an abandoned houseboat, which had been anchored against the wall at the foot of the stairs for some time, and that the body was in its final stages of decomposition, of course, unrecognizable, but the police believed it to be that of William Kershaw. It never occurred to them that it was the corpse of Francis Messers, and that William Kershaw was the murderer!"

……

"What?!"

Motohiko Izawa slammed up from his seat, his eyes wide in disbelief. (To be continued.) )
