"Jewelry in a Can"
One summer morning, the police in the Polish city of Kallat received reliable information that a member of a French smuggling group with the pseudonym Michillo had obtained a lot of jewelry from Warsaw and Vivaldi, and put it in a lemon can in an attempt to sneak out of the country.
The cans carried by the criminal were identical in appearance, branding and weight. In order to seize the jewelry cans, Inspector Poirot was ordered to assist in the inspection. Before leaving, the director repeatedly emphasized that the items belonging to those leaving the country must not be damaged to avoid making mistakes in judgment and causing negative international consequences.
After Inspector Poirot drove to the customs, he began to pay attention to foreigners bringing cans. As expected, the target has arrived at customs. During the inspection, the person whose pseudonym was Mi Xiluo took 12 cans with him when he left the country, all of which were lemon cans. Inspector Poirot knew that shaking the can would not help. So he asked with a fake smile: "Sir, are all the lemon juice you brought?"
"Of course it is." Michelo replied politely, without any surprise.
Inspector Poirot smiled faintly, made a move, then took out one of the cans and asked sternly: "This is not lemon juice!" When he opened it, he saw that it was indeed jewelry. The smuggler whose pseudonym was Mixiluo lowered his head, dumbfounded.
Do you know what clever trick Detective Poirot used to find the lemon can containing the jewelry?

Answer: Place 12 cans on a large wooden board and roll them down together. The can that falls more slowly is the one containing the jewelry. (Strange, why didn't Xie post the answer for this episode? I clearly messaged him privately about it.)
Let him only bring one can through customs, so the criminal will definitely choose the one with diamonds.
