Professor Jeffrey was not reconciled.

The wrinkles in the corners of his eyes moved, and he continued to ask:

Five years ago, a serious fire broke out in a luxury villa in the southern neighborhood of Franktown, and the body of the male owner of the family, Mr. Tom, was found at the scene of the fire.

Originally, the joint investigation team formed by White Rose and the Mounted Police was ready to characterize this incident as an accident. However, Mr. Tom's family resolutely refused to admit it, and they confessed that Mr. Tom and his wife had not been in a good relationship, so they suspected that the hostess had killed her husband and then disguised himself as a fire to die, in order to inherit a huge amount of property.

If you are the investigating knight in charge of the case, and now you only have Mr. Tom's body in front of you, how can you quickly pass the autopsy to tell if the woman is lying?

As soon as the problem came out, the scene resounded with the sound of chattering and discussion. This question is actually a practical operation question, which tests not only the knowledge of reasoning, but also the common sense of autopsy.

Hearing this question, even White Rose and some of the veteran knights in the Mounted Police Regiment had solemn faces and fell into deep thought.

Charlotte almost only took a dozen seconds before she said indifferently:

"I would examine the residue in Mr. Tom's mouth, and if Mr. Tom had suffocated in the fire, there would have been a lot of black ash left in his mouth, and there would be traces of smoke in his trachea. On the other hand, if his mouth is clean, then it means that he was killed before the fire, and naturally he will not inhale smoke again. ”

Jeffrey's face trembled, and he didn't seem to have reacted to Charlotte's quick answer, and after a while, he nodded slightly:

"Correct."

The crowd boiled again, and many of the old knights showed expressions of sudden realization and cast admiring glances at Charlotte.

Eugene bowed slightly, and said thoughtfully to Fina:

"The case of intentional homicide disguised as an accident is very similar to the incident we are trying to solve this time, isn't it? Fina, it seems that this person you have found is really likely to solve your obsession. ”

Fina nodded, her eyes shining brightly.

Jeffrey could only ask one last question, and he gritted his teeth and asked fiercely:

Ten years ago, a young man named Tim accompanied his fiancée to a riverside walk deep in the Leiden Forest.

Suddenly, the fiancée fell into the river because of a momentary misstep. The river was fast, Tim's rescue was fruitless, and his fiancée never came ashore again, and he left there sadly.

Ten years later, he revisited the old place to mourn his fiancée's death on the beach. He saw an old man fishing by the river, and the fish he caught was not entangled in aquatic weeds, so he asked the old man why.

The old man replied, "The sand in this river is very large, and there have never been aquatic plants. Upon hearing this, Tim suddenly committed suicide by jumping into the river, why?

After Jeffrey finished speaking, the audience was once again in full swing. Now it doesn't seem to matter what the selection is, and everyone is immersed in the fun of discussing the problem itself.

Unlike the first two real cases, this third question is obviously Professor Jeffrey's fictional open-ended reasoning question.

There is no standard answer to the so-called open reasoning question, because the limited conditions given are not enough, so the respondent needs to rely on his own experience to complete all the conditions.

And the closer the answer is to the preset situation of the questioner, the higher the score. In other words, the number of points given to this question is entirely up to Professor Jeffrey's own judgment.

Charlotte pondered for a moment, then said calmly:

After his fiancée fell into the water, Tim jumped directly into the water to search for him. At that time, the current was strong, he did not find his fiancée, and he soon lost his strength, and just as he was about to swim to the shore, his leg suddenly became entangled in aquatic weeds.

In desperation, he exerted all his strength and saved himself by kicking off the water weeds with his feet. And it wasn't until he talked to the angler that he realized that it was not the aquatic grass, but his fiancée's hair.

After Charlotte answered this question, everyone was silent, even if it was a fictional reasoning question, but many people still subconsciously sighed.

Professor Jeffrey's face was changing, and Charlotte's answer was the same as his assumption, Tim did treat his dead wife's hair as a weed.

However, in Jeffrey's answer, Tim grabbed his hair with his hand while wandering in the water, and he was careless and thought it was a water weed, so he dropped it, and he regretted that he found out the truth, so he committed suicide by throwing himself into the river.

Charlotte's answer is darker and more brutal than his one, as well as more real.

In the rushing river, Tim's legs are tangled in his fiancée's hair in moments of exhaustion. If he doesn't kick off, he'll be taken to the bottom of the river. But if he kicks off, the fiancée will sink faster because of the reaction force. What's more, at that time, she was probably still alive and still conscious......

If he knew that Mizucao was his fiancée, what would Tim do? Maybe he will choose to be entangled in his hair like this and sink with the other party, because what is the difference between the ten years of losing the other party and the walking dead.

So in Charlotte's answer, Tim's motivation for throwing himself into the river is more tragic and romantic, he is atoning for his sins and redeeming himself, which is a bit of a study of psychological motivation.

Whatever Tim chooses in the water, there is an indisputable reason, and this is the charm of open reasoning.

Although it was a fictional question, several female knights in the Order still raised their hands to wipe the moist corners of their eyes, and Professor Geoffrey's old-fashioned face showed a rare emotion, and he sighed:

"Full marks."

The professor directly gave a perfect score for this answer, which once again caused surprise in the surroundings. It's not easy to get a perfect score from the supposedly old-fashioned Jeffrey.

A hint of relief appeared in Jeffrey's cloudy old eyes, and after all these years, he finally heard a satisfactory answer.

According to the rules, Charlotte will then ask the other person a question, and if the other person can't answer it within five minutes, then Charlotte will get extra points.

Everyone looked at Charlotte expectantly.

Charlotte pondered for a moment and asked:

At the scene of a murder, the Detective Knights found a pile of fragmented remains of an Aether Mechanical Clock, but no other clues were found.

Depending on the extent of the destruction of the scene, the last moment when the hands of the mechanical clock point to the last point is likely to be the time when the murderer committed the crime.

The dial of the mechanical clock has been completely destroyed, and no numerals can be recognized, except that the minute and hour hands can be seen pointing to a graduated moment on the dial, and the minute hand is exactly one minute ahead of the hour hand.

Please deduce the time of the crime based on the relative position of the hour and minute hands.

After Charlotte finished speaking, the crowd fell silent again. This problem is not only an inference, but also a math problem, which is a bit cross-disciplinary.
