(8.21) Upper reasoning question, please listen to the question
1. A group of criminals robbed a supermarket. After Detective Pig started an investigation, he caught one of the criminals. No matter how Pig questioned the criminal, he couldn't get any clues. When Pig searched the criminal, he found a note on him. The note read: 'Pingzi Village likes to grow grass, two suns appear in the sky, asking how long one inch of wood is, forget it, forget it.' Friends, please deduce what the note means.\Last night, the painter Heipi was poisoned and died. There were three people present: his nephew, his assistant, and his apprentice. At that time, they were preparing to paint a painting. Just as they were about to finish, the lights suddenly went out, and then Heipi's screams were heard. Since Pig didn't find any syringes on the three, he had no choice but to order their release. But at night, the culprit was caught. Friends, where did the culprit hide the weapon?

When I was a child, I had a nickname called 'Riddle King.' Haha. The character '苹' is associated with the village because it likes to produce grass, which is the character '平'; two suns represent the character '昌'; and a piece of wood representing an inch is the character '村'. Put together, it forms '平昌村' (Pingchang Village). As for the character '罢,' I once gave my classmates a character riddle, and the answer was '死去' (to die)—which sounds like '四去' (four leaves), meaning if you break down the character '罢,' two '罢' characters indicate that rather than four people leaving in two times, it's two people leaving in four times!
The assistant helps the painter paint, the apprentice learns painting, the nephew is indeed the most idle, so the light is very likely turned off by him, and the syringe should be miniature, very likely hidden in the paintbrush.
The first question is about character analysis. The second question is that only the assistant would directly touch the painter's brush, making it easiest to tamper with, so he is the main suspect. The weapon may be hidden in the end of the painter's brush.
Answer Announcement: 1. '苹头村去草' is '平'; '两太阳' is '日', forming '昌'. '一寸木头', '木寸' is '平昌村'. That's all, that's all, '罢' is 'four plus go'.
The two murderers probably used a pen as a syringe, drawing poison into the pen refill and then injecting the painter, causing the painter's death. Because the police were going to search the body, the pen could not be carried, so the murderer used the painter's pen as the murder weapon. Therefore, the murderer is likely the assistant. Only he usually has access to the painter's pen.
The second one should be the nephew, because he has the least to do... he might go turn off the lights.
However, the assistant's suspicion cannot be ruled out, because he knows the painter's painting habits best and also assists the painter with painting, so it would be easiest for him to kill the painter.
I really can't guess the first question, the second question is the assistant, the syringe is hidden at the back of the paintbrush, and only the assistant, who knows the painter best, has the best chance to modify the paintbrush.
Sigh… I can't answer the questions in class in time, so I'll have to look at them at noon. Please forgive me.
