Chapter 318 Two options
Leng Guang and Chu Kuang are not Yan people after all.
The two did not strictly set too many requirements and standards for literary fights. They just passed the dialogue between the tribe and under the witness of netizens, they simply defaulted to the lower work of the two as a duel of literary fights.
This gives both of them enough time to prepare their own works.
After he was sure to write "The Murder of the Orient Express", Lin Yuan was basically busy with this matter in the next days.
Let me briefly introduce the beginning.
In the snow and ice, a train was driving, and our protagonist Poirot happened to take the train.
Well, he's really Poirot and not Conan.
Anyway, the murder happened.
The deceased was a passenger who was stabbed to death in his private room.
At the same time, due to heavy snow, the train was forced to stop.
There is no village in front and no shop behind here.
The police officer, the doctor in the car, etc. could only conduct a criminal reasoning around the famous detective Poirot in the car!
Only by finding out the murderer and completing the case can the remaining occupants be safe.
This is the so-called murderous model of the secret room in traditional mystery novels!
Because of heavy snow, the train trapped in the snow and ice is the classic murderous environment in the secret room.
It is a very classic, classic and enduring pattern.
Conanli alone has seen countless murder cases in secret rooms.
Then Poirot began to investigate, talked to the passengers separately, and gradually learned about the identity of the deceased.
The deceased doesn't seem to be a good person.
He was sitting on the train and was worried that he would be killed by a black gun from nowhere, which shows how annoying this guy is.
Perhaps it was because there were too many enemies that the deceased communicated with Poirot during his lifetime, hoping that this famous detective could protect himself.
Poirot refused.
He is a detective and is not responsible for protecting others.
Of course, the more important reason is that Poirot doesn't like this man with a little cold-eyed look.
But Poirot didn't expect that this man would really die.
Then Polo had to investigate the truth as a detective.
After learning about the identity of the deceased, Poirot also discovered an amazing fact:
There were more than a dozen passengers on this train, all related to a kidnapping case made by the deceased!
So their testimony is false!
Because they were all involved in the murder!
The whole case is that they are working together to cover up their crimes!
Then more truth emerged:
The deceased was a kidnapper who continued to get away with the bribery after brutally killing a little girl.
The little girl's mother was pregnant at the time and soon gave birth to a stillbirth and died of serious illness.
The little girl's father also died of depression.
The little girl's nanny was suspected of being seriously suspected and could not be questioned?
So the truth about the final murder is shocking:
Except for Poirot? The chairman of the train company and the autopsy doctor, all the people in the car, including the conductor, were the murderers!
They all knew that miserable family? And had received great favors from that family? So after seeing the victim escape from the heavy responsibility of the law, they decided to lynch her and kill her.
After knowing the whole story of the incident, Detective Poirot expressed two possibilities for solving the case.
Readers who have actually watched the Poirot series know that Poirot likes to say several possible ideas when revealing the truth at the end? But except for the last one? The previous ideas are often wrong.
The same is true this time.
The first idea proposed by Poirot is (not the original words):
"The murderer got into the car halfway through, ran away after killing the person. Maybe it was a mafia and something like that, and had a business fight with the deceased? This explanation is based on believing the testimony of these twelve people."
The testimony of these twelve people can provide proof of absenteeism for each other.
Basically no one guessed that all the twelve people were murderers!
However, this statement is obviously full of loopholes, and the doctors on the train strongly objected.
The specific loophole Poirot explained in the book.
Then Poirot proposed the second possibility, an incredible possibility:
The twelve passengers were all murderers, and they each killed each other with one knife? The deceased was settled and then provided each other with alibi proof? This seemingly unsolvable case was created.
Although it was incredible, the murderers agreed.
Twelve people? Remembering the tragic incident in pain.
There are also written descriptions in the novel.
Perhaps it was because after the benefactor's family died, their relatives and friends lived in great pain? The law could not help them anymore? So they chose to use violence to fight violence.
Arrived here.
Poirot asked the person in charge on the train? Which answer would he accept?
The person in charge chose the first one, which is the wrong answer.
The doctor then agreed and would do some medical help.
Because there is only the first explanation that it can help the twelve murderers to escape from crime and not be suspected.
But the details don't match.
So the doctor hinted that he would help with some medical help.
Poirot didn't say which one might be correct from beginning to end.
He just said, I offer two possibilities, you can choose it yourself.
That is to help these twelve people conceal the truth, or expose their crimes, and let you choose for yourself.
The train manager and the doctor unanimously chose to conceal it.
Including Poirot, he actually thought so, otherwise, with his personality, he would not say such things as others choose-
He decided to withdraw from the murder as a detective.
It means a little open ending.
The ending does not clearly state the ending of the twelve murderers.
However, there are related Easter eggs in another novel by Grandma, "Date of Death".
It is clearly mentioned that Poirot did not reveal these twelve people.
The specific plot is that a suspect's wife (she is also one of the suspects) and Poirot said:
"I know you let the murderer go in the case of Orient Express and let them punish the person who was extremely guilty. Can't you do this too this time?"
Poirot asked: "How do you know about Orient Express? This time it won't work, these two cases are different."
That's probably what it means.
On the Orient Express, Poirot did let the murderers go.
As for the cooperative murder model created by "Oriental Express Murder", although its influence is not as strong as Xu Gui-
The narrative writing style once supported Neon reasoning for many years—
But it is also a very classic case.
After this novel was released, many mystery novels began to adopt the cooperative killing model, which was the inspiration obtained here.
Grandma is the pioneer of many models.
If people have read similar patterns, reading Grandma's books may not be as shocking as they are, but if it is the first time they come into contact with it, the shock is actually very huge!
Especially the Xugui and Blizzard Villa mode!
Now that the Xu Gui has been released, Blizzard Villa has not yet been released as a big move.
In short, Lin Yuan had completed the adjustment and adaptation of the character background of "Oriental Express Murder".
Chapter completed!
