Chapter 46 second quarter

"Friends from the audience, hello everyone, welcome to the 'Benge Reasoning Peripheral Appraisal Show'. All kinds of incredible and dramatic cases of Benge reasoning have happened in ancient and modern China and abroad, and the items that are inextricably linked to these cases will be accepted here. Appraisal by a professional appraiser. I am the host Kuroda Kenji." "I'm the assistant host Baishan Arisa." Kenji Kuroda is a comedian, and Arisa Hakuyama is a model. After the two hosts made their opening remarks, the show kicked off.Next, I will introduce the appraisers who are sitting on the stage. The special appraiser for today's show is Bishen Chenzai, an expert in relevant cases under Tianxiayi.When the audience sees this, they know that there will be items related to Tianxiayi on the stage today.

"We welcome our first client to come on stage now! Please." Accompanied by the somewhat indistinct voice of the assistant host, the curtain at the back opened, smoke billowed from the stage, and a guest came out.He was a thin, middle-aged man in a gray suit. "I'm from Hanno City, and my name is Ben, Ben, Ben, Motoyama Motoo." The man introduced himself.He seemed nervous, and his voice trembled uncontrollably. "Hello, Mr. Benshan, don't be nervous, take it easy. What collection did you bring today?" the host asked. "Oh, uh, this is it."

Ben Shan raised the mirror frame in his hand to his chest.He turned it upside down, and the assistant host hastily corrected it. A ten-thousand-dollar banknote was embedded in the frame. "Oh, it turned out to be a 10,000 yuan banknote. Is there any mystery about this banknote? If it is a printing error or a special serial number, it may indeed be very valuable, but it is more appropriate to move it to other programs." After the host said, revealing his occupation sexual smile. "No, no, it's not like that. This banknote, it is, it was used in the Xiaozhu murder case."

"The murder at Xiaozhu Restaurant?!" The host pretended to be shocked, and turned to look at the assistant host: "What happened?" "Let's take a look at the video data." Yan Ran, the former model's assistant host, said. The narration sounded, and the studio began to play a retrospective video of the incident. "The incident happened at the small bamboo restaurant at Shimokita Station in Tokyo. On this day, the president of a certain construction company invited members of the council to meet here. As usual, the president came to the restaurant ten minutes earlier and waited in the innermost single room. His young male secretary was also on standby in another room as usual. The councilor arrived ten minutes later than the appointed time, and the restaurant’s mother, Sang, led him to the private room inside, but the two saw a horrible scene. The president’s head The police department is bleeding profusely and has died, and there are countless ten thousand yuan banknotes scattered around. The money should be prepared to be given to the congressmen on the same day. Coincidentally, Takayashiki Hidemaro, the rich police department, was having a banquet in another room at the time After learning about the incident, he immediately controlled all the people in the kiosk and prohibited them from going out. Afterwards, he personally investigated and found an important fact. The president was alone in the private room for about 20 minutes, and no one was there during this time. Leaving the kiosk. In other words, the murderer was still in the store. Soon, the subordinates of the Takayashiki police department came to support. The police department thought that the most urgent task was to find the murder weapon, so they ordered them to search the kiosk thoroughly and searched all the people in the store at that time. However, it was unbelievable The murder weapon was found everywhere, but the main suspect is of course the kitchen knife, but there are so many people there, it is impossible for the murderer to steal it and use it as the murder weapon. Where did the murder weapon disappear? Who is the murderer?"

The video stopped abruptly, and the TV screen switched back to the host in the studio. "Oh, what a shocking incident. This is also one of the series of cases we often talk about in the Takayashiki Hidemaro Police Department - the mysterious disappearance of the murder weapon. So what is the truth?" "Let's continue to watch the video." The assistant host said with a smile. "After careful examination of the body, it was found that the murderer killed the president in two steps. First, he was struck in the back of the head with a rather hard object to make him unconscious, and then he cut the carotid artery with a knife. From this point of view, the murder weapon should be different. Since If you can't find the knife, you must find the blunt weapon that beat the victim's head. The scouts all showed anxiety. At this moment, Takayashiki Hidemaro suddenly raised his index finger and said the usual lines:' Be with me, solve all mysteries at once!' Then he said: 'We have actually seen the murder weapon from the beginning, it has always been under our noses. It is only because it has subtly changed form-more , It’s the restoration of the original appearance that made us turn a blind eye. Open your eyes and take a good look, these are the two weapons we are looking for.” He said, pointing to the 10,000 yuan banknotes scattered beside the corpse. “Prison A banknote tightly bound together is a blunt weapon, but a new banknote with a sharp edge is a ready-made knife. After use, just throw it next to the corpse and everything will be fine. If the banknote has blood on it, no one will suspect it. .In this case, the murderer can be identified. He is the one who moved the bundle of banknotes here with the victim, that is, you!' Takayashiki pointed to the secretary of the president. The secretary bowed his head and fell to his knees on the spot. This is the famous Xiaozhu restaurant murder case."

After the video data is played, switch back to the scene of the two hosts applauding.The audience in the studio also burst into contrived smiles and applauded together. "It turned out to be such a trick. When it comes to brand-new banknotes, we often use 'sharp enough to scratch hands' to describe it, but no one will notice this detail. In other words, this ten thousand yuan bill was scattered around the corpse at that time. Banknotes?" The host asked, pointing to the banknotes in the frame held by Motoyama Motoyama. "Yes, it was one of the banknotes used as a murder weapon at that time." Benshan replied with a stiff expression.

"How did it fall into Mr. Benshan's hands?" "All the banknotes at the crime scene were kept as physical evidence at the time, but they would be exchanged for new banknotes after the trial. My cousin happened to work in that bank, so he left one for me." "So it is. Do you have any evidence to prove that this is indeed the banknote at the scene of the crime?" "I think you just need to look at the serial number on the banknote." "Oh? Then ask an appraiser to appraise it for us!" The assistant host sent the 10,000-yuan banknote embedded in the frame to the appraiser, and several appraisers discussed it around the banknote.But in fact, all the appraisals of the Takayashiki Police Department's series of cases have always been decided by the regular guest Michihiko Ayanokōji, and the other appraisers just listened to his opinions.

Soon, the discussion ended, and the appraisers returned to everyone.Seeing this, the host said, "Looks like the result has come out. How much is the 10,000 yuan banknote that was used as the murder weapon in the Xiaozhutingting murder case worth?" The electronic display above the appraiser showed a number - 9,500 yuan. "Ah, it's only 9,500 yuan. The price is really surprising." When the host was speaking, the camera gave the client a close-up.Motono Motoyama frowned, blinking in confusion, his eyes were pitiful. "What's the reason?" The host looked at the appraiser and asked.

"Oh, that's right." Michihiko Ayanokouji responded after hearing this.He wore a double-breasted suit and tie, and sported a signature moustache. "Judging from the serial number, it can be concluded that it is genuine, and it is indeed the 10,000 yuan banknote in the murder case at Xiaozhu Restaurant." "In this case, why is it only worth 9,500 yuan?" "This is because, first of all, there were 5,000 yuan banknotes scattered around the corpse in this incident. These 5,000 banknotes are not all worth the same value. Rather, they vary greatly depending on how the murderer uses them. The highest price is The one used to cut the artery is now worth about one million yuan, and it should be in the hands of a speculative antique dealer in Osaka. The lower third of the banknote is stained with blood, and it is accompanied by a certificate that has been used as evidence in court. In addition, other banknotes also have different values ​​depending on the situation. The condition for high prices is that they must be stained with the blood of the victim. This banknote has no bloodstains at all, and there are as many as 3,500 banknotes like this. Each banknote stained with blood is unique, and its value is accordingly generated, but if there is no bloodstain, it is just ordinary A ten-thousand-dollar bill isn’t going to be of interest to collectors. That’s about it.”

"But it's very strange. Even if it's just a 10,000 yuan bill, it should be worth at least 10,000 yuan, right? Why do you think it's only worth 9,500 yuan?" Maybe it was because I couldn't bear to see the dejected look of the client with slumped shoulders, The moderator retorted. "You are right. Using it for shopping can indeed be used as 10,000 yuan, but considering that this is the murder weapon in the Xiaozhu restaurant murder case, who would be willing to accept it? Collectors will not buy it, and ordinary people will find it creepy Instead of accepting it, he had to go to the bank to exchange the new banknotes in the end. But going to the bank also costs transportation expenses and other expenses, so the actual amount he got was less than 10,000 yuan." Ling Xiaolu smiled mockingly.

"That's it. Mr. Benshan, you have heard it too, and that's how it is." The host apologized to the client. "I see. Then I'll just use it to buy a bus ticket when I go back." Ben Shan replied weakly. "This is also a way, but it's best to buy it at the automatic ticket vending machine. If you buy the ticket at the window, maybe the conductor will see through it as an ominous banknote and refuse to accept it." The host's words made the audience roar with laughter.Amidst the laughter, Motoyama Motoxio left the stage dejectedly. "Oh, what a pity." The host sighed to the assistant host. "Yeah, I was quite confident." "However, it is precisely because of this dramatic result that our show is full of fun. Next, let's wait and see what the next guest brings. The second client is welcome!" The host resumed in a blink of an eye Spirit, the voice announced loudly. The second client was a woman who brought a pistol, which was said to have been used by a detective Poirot.Before she finished speaking, the audience in the studio had already burst into laughter.There are frequent guests on the show who claim to have Poirot or Holmes items, but none of them are ever true.If there is such a genuine product, it will definitely be an astonishing discovery. "I don't know if this collection is real or not? Almost all of Poirot's items we encountered were fakes." Judging from the host's tone, he obviously didn't believe it either. The results of the identification were not as expected.The appraiser who is proficient in this field concluded that "it should be just a small stage prop." The estimated price was zero.On this show, fakes are worth nothing, or rather, no price is assigned to them at all. In this way, the appraiser appraised the collections brought by the client one by one. After the four people passed, no high-priced collections appeared. "Now it's the last appraisal today, and the client is this gentleman." "I am Shiro Yamada from Okayama Prefecture." Accompanied by the usual stage smoke, a man in his thirties calmly entered the stage, holding a wooden stick in his hand.
