Chapter 321 Two Choices
Chapter 321 Two Choices
Leng Guang and Chu Kuang are not Yan people after all.
The two did not strictly set too many requirements and standards for Wendou, but through the dialogue of the tribe, under the witness of netizens, they simply defaulted their next work as a duel of Wendou——
This allows both of them have enough time to prepare their works.
After deciding to write "Murder on the Orient Express", Lin Yuan was basically busy with this matter for the next few days.
A brief introduction to the beginning.
In a world of ice and snow, a train is running, and our protagonist Poirot happens to be on this 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 compartment.
At the same time, because of the heavy snow, the train was forced to stop.
There are no shops in front of the village or in the back of the village.
The police officers and the doctors in the car can only conduct a criminal reasoning around the well-known detective Poirot in the car!
Only by finding the murderer and completing the case can the safety of the remaining crew members be guaranteed.
This is the so-called secret room killing mode in traditional mystery novels!
Because of the heavy snow blocking the road, the train trapped in the ice and snow is the classic murder environment in a secret room.
Very classic, very classical, enduring model.
There have been countless secret room murder cases in Conan alone.
Then Poirot began to investigate, talking to the passengers separately, and gradually learned the identity of the deceased.
The deceased did not seem to be a good person.
Sitting on the train, he worried all the time that he would be shot to death by a black gun from nowhere, which shows how annoying this guy is.
Perhaps it was because there were too many enemies, so the deceased communicated with Poirot before his death, hoping that the famous detective could protect himself.
Poirot refused.
He is a detective, not in charge of protecting others.
Of course, the more important reason was that Poirot didn't like this man with cold eyes.
But Poirot did not expect that the man was really dead.
Napolo had to work as a detective to find out the truth.
After knowing the identity of the deceased, Poirot also discovered an astonishing fact:
There are more than a dozen passengers on this train, all related to a kidnapping case created by the deceased!
So their testimony is all false!
Because they all participated in the murder!
The whole case is that they are cooperating to cover up each other's crimes!
Then more truth emerged:
The deceased was a former kidnapper who continued to escape justice with bribes after the brutal murder of a little girl.
The little girl's mother was pregnant at the time, and soon gave birth to a stillborn baby, who died of a serious illness.
The little girl's father also died in depression.
The nanny of the little girl's family committed suicide because she was suspected of being seriously suspected and could not bear interrogation.
So the truth about the final murder is shocking:
Except for Poirot, the chairman of the train company and the coroner, all twelve people in the carriage, including the conductor, were murderers!
They all knew the miserable family and had received great favor from that family, so after seeing the victim escape the heavy responsibility of the law, they decided to lynch and kill him.
Detective Poirot, after learning the whole story of the incident, mentioned two possibilities to solve the case.
Readers who have actually watched the Poirot series know that Poirot likes to say several possible ideas when he finally reveals the truth, but except for the last one, the previous ideas are often wrong.
Same this time.
The first idea that Poirot puts forward is (not the exact words):
"The murderer got into the car halfway and ran away after killing someone. He might be a mafia or something. He had a business relationship with the deceased. This explanation is based on the testimony of these twelve people."
The testimony of these twelve people can provide an alibi for each other.
Almost no one guessed that all twelve people were murderers!
However, this statement is obviously full of loopholes, and the doctor on the train strongly objected.
The specific loophole Poirot explained in the book.
Then Poirot raised a second possibility, an incredible one:
The twelve passengers were all murderers. They killed the deceased with one knife, and then provided each other with alibi to create this seemingly unsolvable case.
Although unbelievable, the murderers acquiesced.
Twelve people painfully recalled the tragedy of that year.
There are also textual descriptions in the novel.
Probably after the tragic death of the benefactor's family, relatives and friends are living in great pain, and the law can't help them, so they choose to use violence to control violence.
here we go.
Poirot asked the person in charge on the train, which answer would he accept?
The person in charge chose the first, which is the wrong answer.
The doctor then agreed that he would do some medical help.
Because only the first explanation can help the twelve murderers get away without being suspected.
But the details don't match.
So the doctor hinted that it would help with some medical help.
Poirot never said which of these possibilities was correct.
He just said, I offer two possibilities, you choose.
That is to help these twelve people conceal the truth, or expose the crime, let you choose.
The person in charge of the train and the doctor unanimously chose to conceal it.
Including Poirot actually thinks so, otherwise, with his character, he would not say that others should choose such words——
He decided to withdraw from the murder case as a detective.
Kind of like an open ending.
The ending does not clearly state the ending of the twelve murderers.
However, there are related easter eggs in another novel "A Date with Death" by Grandma.
It is clearly mentioned that Poirot did not expose the twelve people.
The specific plot is a suspect's wife (she is also a suspect) and Poirot said:
"I know you spared the murderer in the case of the Orient Express and let them punish the heinous man. Can't you do the same this time?"
Poirot asked: "How did you know about the Orient Express? Not this time, the two cases are different."
That's probably what it means.
On the Orient Express, Poirot did spare the murderers.
As for the cooperative killing mode created by "Murder on the Orient Express", although its influence is not as strong as that of Xu Wei——
Narrative writing has fed neon reasoning for many years——
But it is also a very classic case created.
After this novel came out, many mystery novels indeed began to adopt the mode of cooperative killing, which was the inspiration here.
Grandma is the pioneer of many models.
If people have read similar patterns, reading Grandma's book may not be a big shock, but if it is the first time they come into contact with it, the shock is actually very huge!
Especially the Narrative and Blizzard Villa modes!
Now that the narrative has been released, Lin Yuan has not yet released Blizzard Villa as a big move.
In short, at this time, Lin Yuan has completed the adjustment and adaptation of the background of the characters in "Murder on the Orient Express".
Next, is the formal writing.
