Detective Willis woke up to find it was already past 2 a.m. in the middle of the night. He brewed a cup of coffee and was about to take a sip when the phone rang.
"Hello!" he asked. "Where is this?"
"This is the Lima Apartments. Detective, there has been a robbery here!"
"I'll be there right away!" Willis hung up and rushed to the scene.
"At the apartment entrance, the caller is waiting." It went like this: "I'm the night-duty staff here. Fifteen minutes ago, the power in the building suddenly went out. I went out to check the reason, and a group of people rushed in. Seeing that there were many of them, I quickly hid in the storage room. They went straight to the rooms of Mr. Carma and Mr. Ariel, who were out, pried open the safes, and stole 2 million yuan from Mr. Carma and Mr. Ariel's 'Wild Lion' brand gold watch."
"Did these criminals have any distinguishing features?"
"Yes, there were five of them in total. The leader seemed to be British, with blue eyes and a scar on his left cheek."
"Are you sure you saw him clearly?"
"Yes, because he was holding an electric flashlight. When its light shone through the door crack, I saw him at a glance."
Willis sneered coldly: "Your skill at lying is not very good! Put an end to this trick of the thief crying 'Stop the thief!'"
Do you know why Detective Willis said this?
\ This question is simple, hoping all the experts will let the beginners have a chance.

Since there was a power outage, Ao Xiang immediately reported it, but he even said, 'They pried open the safe and stole Mr. Xiecang's 2 million yuan and Mr. Karl's 'Kuangshi' brand gold watch??' Who would believe that? How could he know such details during a power outage, and also know that Xiecang and Karl's things were stolen? Clearly nonsense. Also, obviously, Ao Xiang even said: 'Yes, because he had an electronic flashlight in his hand, when the flashlight shone through the door gap, I noticed it at a glance using the light.' This is also nonsense. If you look through a door gap and the light flashes into your eyes, you can't see clearly. So Ao Xiang's lying skills are not that great... that's why he was dealt with by Qian Ka.
Hmm… unless you have a flashlight yourself, it's impossible to see the other person if they have a flashlight, right?
When the other person holds a flashlight, all that can be seen is a strong beam of flashlight light, with everything else in darkness.
Put yourself in someone else's shoes: Ao Xiang is both the person reporting the case and lying, Qian is the detective. In this way, Qian needs to think and look for Ao Xiang's flaws.
What are you doing? If you don't talk nonsense, it's not vivid. If not, make up a few foreign names. I'm not even familiar with them, how do I guess? Czech and Jack—I can't tell them apart
Hoho, I only know one name of the foreign devils very well: Jack.. It seems I can only answer these basic trivia questions; if they get any harder, I won't be able to.
