It's a high-rise apartment in the heart of New York City, and the morning sun shines through the window, bathing the whole apartment in a bright sunshine, as well as a slender hand and a messy long hair sticking out of the quilt.

As if feeling the morning sun, the chaotic head moved, revealing the face of a childish girl who looked like she was only eleven or twelve years old.

Xing Ziyue rubbed her eyes, glanced at the sunlight outside the window, and just wanted to get up, she suddenly remembered that she had already had a summer vacation and didn't need to get up early to go to school, so she pulled the quilt and continued to sleep.

However, it seemed that today's cage sleep was destined to be unable to sleep, and after lying down for less than five minutes, a shrill phone rang.

The phone ringtone Xing Ziyue was very familiar, it was the exclusive ringtone of the New York Police Department, and she knew that the matter was urgent, so she had no choice but to pick up the phone.

"Hey! Who! She asked angrily, her immature voice a little murderous.

Sheriff Richard's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone, "Counselor Xing Ziyue, I'm sorry to disturb you, this morning, there was a locked room murder case in Queens, I'm afraid you need to come immediately to help solve the case." ”

(Damn, this is already the sixth locked room murder case at the end of this month, have these murderers been catching the trend lately?) Xing Ziyue secretly slandered herself, but considering that the New York Police Department's bunch of fools would definitely not be able to solve this kind of high-end case, Xing Ziyue had no choice but to get up from the bed.

"I'll be there in a moment." After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Washing her face and brushing her teeth, putting on a windbreaker, putting on sunglasses, holding a leftover waffle from yesterday in her mouth, and stuffing an apple into the pocket of her windbreaker, Xing Ziyue set off from the apartment.

She did not go to the police station, but drove directly to the crime scene.

At this moment, the outside of the house at the scene of the crime has been completely cordoned off by the police, and some onlookers of good deeds are watching around, and people from several investigation departments are collecting evidence, and there is a tense atmosphere.

As soon as Xing Ziyue came over, someone immediately greeted her.

"Thank goodness you're finally here, criminal advisor." The sheriff came up anxiously.

"No way, is there a traffic jam on the road?" Xing Ziyue casually stuffed the last piece of waffle into her mouth, "Tell me, what is the situation?" Xing Ziyue asked as she nibbled on an apple.

The sheriff recruited, and the officer next to her immediately began to report to her.

"This morning, the milk delivery person came to the door of this house to deliver milk, usually the hostess always comes out to receive milk in person, but this morning did not do so, the milk delivery person took a look into the house, remembered that he found an abnormality, opened the door after calling the police, but did not expect that the owner of the house inside was dead, and the doors and windows of the whole house were locked from the inside, and it looked like nothing abnormal."

"Hmph, it's kind of interesting, let me see the scene and then talk about it." Xing Ziyue said.

When I walked into the living room, I saw a woman lying on the ground in a miserable pretend, her face covered in blood, as if she had been hit with a blunt object, and she was wearing pajamas.

Xing Ziyue walked around twice, and a faint smile suddenly appeared on her face, but the sheriff was happy, usually if the criminal consultant had this kind of expression, he would generally have discovered the truth.

"I've got the preliminary results, gathered all your people, and now I'm going to announce my conclusions."

"Yes, yes, I'll call someone right away."

Soon the people were all gathered together, including the neighbors watching the hilariousness, the police officers handling the case, the workers delivering milk, and so on.

Looking at the dozen or so people around her, Xing Ziyue showed a confident smile on her face, "I'm sorry to gather everyone here, the reason why I did this is because I want to expose the truth of this case, this criminal is very smart, he carefully arranged a secret room murder scene, thinking that he could get away with it by relying on this method, however, he still missed one point - that is, me, no conspiracy can escape my eyes, according to my speculation, the murderer is among us." ”

What the! The sheriff's face was shocked, and everyone had an expression of disbelief.

"Why do you say that, do you say that the murderer would stay?"

"Who's that guy?"

Xing Ziyue's gaze swept over everyone's faces one by one, and finally locked on a woman: "That person is you, the deceased's neighbor Linda!" ”

The woman named Linda looked panicked, but still had a strong spirit, "Why do you say I did it." ”

"Very simple, the deceased's name is Lily, which means lily, and your garden happens to be planted with a lot of lilies, lilies also have the meaning of lesbian in Chinese, so it is clear that you and the deceased are a couple, today's date is September 7, 9 plus 7 is equal to 16, 16 divided by 4 or four, that is to say, the criminals are related to four, and there are exactly four people in your family, your house number is 206, and 2 times 6 is equal to 12, the first letter of the deceased's name is L, It happens to be the twelfth letter of the alphabet, so who is the murderer? The answer is self-evident. ”

"It's-"

After listening to Xing Ziyue's reasoning, everyone was shocked—and then soon they all turned into a sudden realization.

"I see! I understand! One of the officers exclaimed, "Detective, your reasoning is too powerful. ”

"It's really genius to be able to reason out even such a process, and it's so interlocking, without a trace of loopholes, it's unbelievable." Sergeant Richard shouted as well.

"Sure enough, she is worthy of being called Miss Beldra, who is known as a supersensory detective!" A crowd of onlookers shouted along.

The others also showed expressions of admiration, some with the same expression, and some as if they had not yet figured out the process of reasoning.

The woman named Linda was shocked at first, and then suddenly laughed, "But you have no proof, the windows and people of this house are locked from the inside, why do you think that I did it?" If it was someone I killed, how did I leave? ”

Hearing Linda's question, everyone looked at Xing Ziyue.

"Quite simply, if my guess is correct, you should have left through the attic window, Sergeant Richard, please have your officers check the attic window on the second floor to see if it's open." Xing Ziyue calmly told the answer to the mystery.

The sheriff immediately patted a few of his men to survey the attic on the second floor, and sure enough, the attic window on the second floor was wide open, and there were two obvious bloody footprints, which were Linda's shoes.

At this moment, the surrounding onlookers and the police all let out a voice of admiration.

Linda's face was miserable, "I didn't expect it to be discovered, that's right, I killed Lily, I didn't want to do this, I wanted to break up with her, because I have my family, but she didn't agree, she forced me." ”

After Linda finished speaking, she was escorted to the police station by several policemen.

And today's closed room murder case has finally been solved with difficulty.

"Well done criminal consultant, thanks to you this time, otherwise such a complicated case would be difficult to solve with the strength of our police department, and you really deserve to be a professional." Seeing Linda being escorted into the police car, Sheriff Richard said gratefully.

Xing Ziyue nodded slightly, "It's nothing, this is what I should do, after all, this is my job, if you really want to thank you, invite me to have a drink later." ”

"Of course, it's my pleasure."

Ten minutes later, the sheriff and Xing Ziyue came to a nearby bar.

"Cheers to the pleasure of working together."

"Cheers."

"To be honest, I still can't figure out how you did it, such a complicated case, I don't have a clue at all without your help." The sheriff said with admiration.

Xing Ziyue took a sip of the milk in the cup, "I don't have any concept of this, maybe this is a talent, a cursed talent, because of this talent, I have seen too much death and killing, too much evil and tragedy." There was a bit of vicissitudes and a bit of melancholy in her tone.

The sheriff gave her a surprised look, "Speaking of which, how many years have you been a detective?" ”

Xing Ziyue folded her fingers and calculated, "It's been five years since I was seven years old. ”

The sheriff nodded with emotion, "Five years is indeed enough to change a person, maybe you should take a vacation." ”

Xing Ziyue shook her head, "Forget it, taking a vacation will make me feel relaxed, and for a detective who is on the verge of life and death at any time, relaxation will cost people's lives, but sometimes I have some doubts about whether my actions are meaningful, after arresting so many criminals, the world still seems to have not changed." ”

Xing Ziyue said in a tone that saw through the vicissitudes of the world, forming a strong contrast with her immature face.

However, Sergeant Richard didn't seem to notice this difference, but nodded approvingly, "Indeed, our old guys are still counting on you, as long as you are here, no case is a problem, I heard that there is no problem in this world that you can't solve." ”

Xing Ziyue shook her head, "That's not the case, there is still a question that I have been pursuing but cannot answer. ”

"Huh? What's the problem? The sheriff asked curiously.

"The question is - who are my parents, I started looking into this question six years ago, I have traveled all over the world, I have dealt with the intelligence agencies of various countries, but I have found nothing, it is to find the answer that I became a detective, but I have a hunch that maybe the answer will come soon." Xing Ziyue said, drinking the milk in the cup.

"Goodbye Sergeant Richard, I'm going back to my summer homework." As he spoke, he shook the collar of his trench coat and walked out of the bar.
