Music room robbery

Scott slammed the door of the music room shut, and the noise outside almost disappeared. This music room of more than ten square meters has become the burial place of the owner of the house, Franco.

At about 9 p.m., Franco's wife, Lola, reported that there had been a murder in their villa. The villa has three floors, and the crime scene is the music room located on the second floor. Franco, dressed in pajamas, collapsed in front of the single sofa, beneath him was a smashed glass coffee table. The fatal wound was inflicted on the forehead and was caused by a blunt blow.

In front of the coffee table, there is a double-layer special cabinet. On the upper floor there was a record player, and a record was still spinning, but the pitcher had been destroyed and could not make a sound at all. Behind the record player, nearly a hundred records were neatly stacked. It is basically composed by famous composers such as Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. In the dark cabinet under the record player, there was a small safe, the door was open, and there was nothing inside.

The floor-to-ceiling windows on the balcony of the music room are open, and the cold wind of early winter constantly pours into the room, making the place full of chill. In the outdoor swimming pool, police found the murder weapon — a bronze statue about 50 centimeters high and stained with blood. After forensic identification, the blood belonged to Franco, and only the fingerprints of Franco and Lola were on it.

At this moment, Lola sat on the living room sofa on the first floor of the villa, crying uncontrollably: "It's terrible... You must catch the murderer and avenge my husband!" ”

The sheriff lit a lady's cigarette for Lola, and waited for her mood to calm down: "Ma'am, mourning is smooth. I'm Scott, in charge of this case. Can you tell me about what happened before and after your crime? You are the only witness at the scene, and your testimony will certainly be of great help to us in solving the case. ”

"Well..." Lola spoke weakly of what she knew: "My husband loves to listen to music on a record player. Every day after dinner, he would spend a while in the music room and listen to music. I don't know much about music, so I rarely go into the music room.

"After dinner today, he got up and went to the music room and asked me if I wanted to go with me, and today he bought a new Beethoven record. I didn't stay with him because I still had to clean the housework. Now that I think about it, if I had gone together, I might have been able to help..."

"Don't blame yourself, ma'am." Scott handed her some tissues, "Did anything unusual happen after that?" ”

"Nothing." Lola continued, "I feel very tired today, and when I'm done packing, I'll go back to my bedroom on the third floor to get ready to rest. When passing by the second floor, I vaguely heard the sound of music coming out of the music room. Around 8:30, I was lying in bed when I suddenly heard the sound of glass breaking on the second floor! I hurried to the music room, pushed open the door, and was stunned by what I saw. The husband collapsed in a pool of blood, and the cash and jewelry in the safe were gone. The floor-to-ceiling window was open, as if I saw a dark shadow jump out. I didn't dare to catch up and check on my husband. It was no longer possible, so I hurried to the police. Sheriff, that's all I can think of. ”

Scott listened and smiled, "It's okay, next at the police station, you'll remember more things." Because, you are a criminal suspect! ”

Q: Why did the sheriff say Lola was a suspect?

A record player, also known as a phonograph, is a primitive playback device whose sound is stored in an acoustically carved arc groove on the surface of a record (disc). The record is placed on the turntable and rotated under the pitcher. Phonograph records can be copied in large quantities relatively easily, and the playback time is longer than most barrel recording media. For this reason, the phonograph has been called one of Edison's greatest inventions.

Records are a medium generalization of the spread of music. Its material form can be divided into early wire records, bakelite 78 rpm records, vinyl records and today's CD discs.
