What is painted on the picture is exactly the scene of a magician being killed while performing a magic trick.
The magician is performing water escape magic. He is trapped in a transparent water tank and the person has drowned...
There are many characters in the painting. You can see the magician's wife swinging an ax and chopping the glass of the water tank; a dwarf is pressing the remote control; the performance assistant jumped above the water tank, trying to open the top of the water tank to save people; and Several actors were so anxious that they scratched their heads and even used their fists to gouge the glass...
In addition to the situation on stage, the situation off stage was also painted on the picture, but the audience was also horrified, including children...
"Huh huh huh..." After carefully observing the picture, Li Benzheng asked everyone, "What do you guys think, who is the real culprit who killed the magician?"
"Hmm... I think..."
Yusuf opened his mouth to speak, but was held down by Jacka.
"Hey, remember? There are 20 questions, and the total prize is 200,000 pounds. So, this question is worth at least 10,000 pounds!" Jaka said, "Everyone only has one chance, so you have to be careful!"
"Go, go, it's been ten years, why are you still asking for a bonus?" Yusuf frowned, "Hurry up and solve the puzzle and see if there are any hidden clues!"
"It doesn't matter," Jasmine said after hearing this. "If you are really interested, the bonus is still valid. You can give it a try! But, I don't know what the correct answer is?"
"Forget it, I'm not interested..." Juliet shook her head, "There are only a few characters in total, even Meng can get it right!"
"Why are you so confused?" Yusuf clasped his hands, "I must have memorized everything after seeing it last time. Now, ten years later, who still doesn't know the correct answer?"
"That's right. Since we already know the correct answer, it's boring..." Li Benzheng said confidently, "So, should we give the newcomer a chance?"
When Li Benzheng said this, everyone instinctively looked at Zhao Yu and Simona.
"Yes, isn't there a Chinese detective?" Jika agreed, "Why don't we see what this Chinese detective is capable of? Come on, welcome..."
"Well..." After hearing this, Miao Kun looked at Zhao Yu in embarrassment, and then opened his mouth to translate the situation to him.
"Female Miao, what do you want to do?" Jieka pointed his finger at Miao Kun rudely, "Do you want to tell him the answer? Do you want to embarrass you Chinese people in front of so many people?"
"Screw you, Zhao Yu doesn't understand English, I just want to translate for him..." Miao Kun explained.
"That's no need, I can also speak Chinese!" It was Li Benzheng who spoke. He immediately pointed at the picture, trying to make his meaning clear.
However, Zhao Yu suddenly waved his hand, pointed at the picture and said:
"The correct answer is suicide! The magician killed himself!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone present who could understand Chinese showed expressions of surprise.
"Look..." Zhao Yu pointed to the picture and said, "The actors' costumes are patched, which shows that they live in a very poor life;
“The audience in the audience was sparse, and the clothing was not of a high standard, which shows that magic performances are not profitable;
“The sweat on the face of the magician’s wife shows that she used real strength to chop the water tank with the axe, and cannot be the murderer;
"Also, the person who wanted to open the water tank couldn't do it, which means that the water tank was locked from the inside, which means that the magician didn't want to be rescued! Therefore, he also tampered with the escape lock...
"The magician bought his own insurance, and the beneficiary was his wife. The reason for doing this was that the magic show could no longer be sustained. He hoped that through his death, he could improve the lives of his wife and children...
"Did you notice? The magician was about to drown, but there was no fear on his face. So, the answer is that he carefully planned his own suicide and faked it into an accident!"
“…”
Zhao Yu explained in Chinese, and Simona translated it to everyone almost simultaneously. Therefore, after everyone heard this, they were all stunned by Zhao Yu's amazing observation skills.
"Well..." Jasmine widened her eyes and asked everyone, "Everyone, are the answers given by the Chinese detective the same as yours?"
"This..." No one answered for a while.
"Humph, there's no need to ask anyone else!" Zhao Yu said with a smile, "This painting is obviously hand-drawn, and the answer has already been given above. Look at the audience's armbands, look at the clown boots, and here... here... There are English letters hidden in them all, and when combined, they are the English word water—water!
"The damp areas on this scroll have slightly red rust stains, which is obviously different from the erosion of ordinary paper. So..."
Zhao Yu picked up a glass of water that had been prepared long ago and poured it directly on the painting.
A few seconds later, I saw a red glow on the magician's body, which clearly meant that the correct answer was the magician himself!
"Wow..." Miao Kun clapped his hands, whistled, and praised Zhao Yu, "Awesome, so awesome! Hahaha..."
As soon as Miao Kun clapped his hands, Simona and Jasmine couldn't help but applaud, but when others heard the applause, they were obviously embarrassed, especially Li Benzheng and Jieka.
"Boy, this question itself is very simple. Take a look at this question again!" Jieka suddenly picked up another picture of the puzzle and said to Zhao Yu, "A murder case in the downtown area. A young man was murdered in the downtown area. He was stabbed to death, and there are a total of 107 people next to him. Come and find out who the murderer is, right?"
"This question really tests your eyesight," Tani Zhaoichiro recalled. "It took me half an hour to answer it, and it almost timed out!"
Seeing this, Simona quickly translated to Zhao Yu in Chinese. However, Zhao Yu didn't look carefully at all, and just poked at the victim in the picture and said:
"This question is exactly the same as the magician's. The deceased died of suicide. He stabbed himself to death!"
“…”
Hearing Zhao Yu give the answer so quickly, Jacka was speechless and Tani Zhaoichiro also hid his face in shame.
"Why?" Simone was puzzled, "Why did he stab himself to death?"
"Because he has depression, hahaha..." Zhao Yu smiled and explained, "Just kidding! Actually, the key point is here. The place where the deceased died happened to be illuminated by neon lights.
"Think about it, if a killer wants to kill people on the street, why do they do it under neon lights? Look..." Zhao Yu pointed at the picture and said, "The first point and the second point are all shadow areas, and they will do it there. More hidden!
"The reason why this person chose to commit suicide was because he bought insurance like the magician. He just wanted to mislead the police and make them think it was a homicide, right
"Of course, there is a more critical point..." Zhao Yu pointed at Miao Kun and said seriously, "Female Miao told me the story of the Detective Salon, so I already knew the answer to this question! Hahaha..."
Zhao Yu smiled like a pig, and everyone frowned, feeling particularly harsh...
