It was said that one day, I would like to stay in Jiantou store. In the middle of the night, someone killed the shopkeeper with the knife he carried with him and put the knife back into its original sheath after committing the crime. Hao Jian didn't notice it and left the inn early the next morning. After dawn, everyone in the store was very frightened when they saw that the owner had been killed, so they took Hao Jian back and prepared to investigate one by one. When they checked Hao Jian's saber, they saw blood dripping from it. Hao Jian was stunned and couldn't explain. He was sent to the government. Under heavy pressure, he had to admit that he killed the shop owner. The presiding judge Zhu Tou felt that there was something fishy. The case did not seem to be that simple, so he ordered that all the people over the age of 15 who were in the shop that night be gathered together, and then they were released, leaving only an old woman. It goes on like this every day, and before long, the criminal has thrown himself into the trap.
Excuse me, what does this mean? Why?

The reasoning answer for this question will be announced when I post the next reasoning question, and this will be the case for all future reasoning questions.
Hmm. The fact that the old woman was left behind indicates that she must have discovered something. The murderer was at a loss, so he went to the old woman to gather information, fearing that the old woman would find out that he was the murderer, so he went to her. Since the others were not the murderer, they would not go to the old woman. After the murderer found the old woman, he was caught.
In short, the murderer thought the old woman knew something, so he had something to hide in his heart and went to her to inquire. Others wouldn't do this, so the only person who went to the old woman was the murderer. PS: Hao Jian, do Gao Jian and Hao Jian have any relation...
The old woman is probably just bait. Similarly to 11, 'every day like this' makes the killer suspect whether she is aware, leading him to appear in order to silence her, but for the time being, he hasn't figured out the meaning of 'over 15 years old'.
When it got dark, the officials released the old woman and ordered their subordinates to secretly follow her to see who was speaking to her. This was repeated for three days, and it was discovered that it was the same person visiting the old woman. Because he was guilty of being a thief, when he saw the old woman left there every day, he hurriedly tried to find out the truth, only to fall into the chief magistrate's trap.
The original poster worked hard typing, there was a typo, but it's okay, I believe everyone can understand it (that's for sure)
