Mr Wang was an old man. He had lived in the same flat in Hill Town for 20 years. He lived alone and went to the park every day. One day, Mr Wang's neighbours, Mr and Mrs Zhang, noticed that they had not seen Mr Wang that day. He had not gone to the park that morning as usual. Mrs Zhang became worried. So together with her husband, she went to knock on Mr Wang’ s door. As they knocked, they noticed the door was not locked. They pushed the door open and saw Mr Wang. He was dead on the floor. There was a lot of blood around him.

Mr and Mrs Zhang called the police. Detective Li arrived in five minutes. He asked the Zhangs whether they had seen anything unusual the night before. They said that they had not because they were having a party.
Detective Li also interviewed another neighbour, Zhou Min. He was a cook. He said he had never seen Mr Zhang before. He also said that he was working at his restaurant the night before and did not know anything about the case.
当堂小练
At the crime scene, Detective Li found a knife and a gun. He noticed that there was some white powder on the gun. Detective Li checked the knife and the gun for fingerprints. The powder on the gun turned out to be the cooking flour, and the fingerprints were left by Zhou Ming. Detective Li returned to the flats and arrested the cook for murder. Later, Zhou Ming admitted that he killed Mr Wang so that he could steal 200,000 yuan from him. The money was kept in cash under Mr Wang's bed.
