Chapter 37: Occam
Subtitle of this chapter: There will be atheists in foxholes

"Master ball, do you have a bad deal?!"
"Lao Tzu is still the elder of Comrade Jianfeng and his brother who has a different father and mother. I don't want to be the pioneer of the Shenma armor, the mentor of the Shenma Barton! ”
This is not bad, he is not much different in age from the people who wear Lin Bei's legs, the descendants of the Heavenly Demons, and the military Dao Killing Boxing, and he is considered a figure in the same generation, and he can be called a brother and a brother. And it is definitely not an exaggeration for him to call Xiao Jiang and Xiao Dai "virtuous nephews".
"Host, are you going to refuse this temporary mission? Okay, minus the host's strength ......."
"Master Ball, wait!"
Our Master Yuan calculated in his heart, if he really only has seven points of strength, then Lao Tzu is really powerless, because the strength of chickens is also greater than that of Lao Tzu, then how will Lao Tzu eat chickens in the future?
If you don't do it, you have to subtract three points of strength, and if you fail, you will also subtract three points, so it's better to try it hard.
The question is, in what way can I be a mentor to others?
Armored clusters, assaults in depth, air-ground battles, and blitzkriegs that combine all three...... Just kidding, Master Ball's military science project is not open now!
Of course, a shoddy military fan like him can speak a few words in the vernacular, but it's just a few words in the vernacular. Yuan Yanqian didn't know what the establishment of armored forces at all levels, whether it was World War I, World War II, or the Cold War, plus what the post-Cold War era was like.
Major Patton, one of the founders of the first tank unit in the United States, also served as a brigadier general (temporary rank) commander of one of the brigades, personally fought on the French front, and is currently a member of the U.S. Army Tank Commission, a true tank warfare expert of this era.
The traverser can't conquer the world. When people asked him a few words about the most basic military knowledge, he immediately had to be exposed. In this way, you can also be a mentor to others.
What if this road doesn't work?
As Master Yuan quickly skimmed through Major Patton's detailed resume, his heart couldn't help but move......
"Neo? Brother Hongchuan! ”
"Ah, what's the matter?" Yuan Yanqian, who was immersed in thinking, asked a little confused.
Major Cao Linsheng asked with concern, "Neo, are you okay?" ”
It turned out that the three West Point alumni chatted for a while, and found that the Chinese writers around them looked like they didn't belong, and Major Cao couldn't help but call out.
Yuan Yanqian looked at her Holland watch covertly, this train will only take more than two hours to reach the destination Washington, it seems that the time is a little tight.
"Me? I'm fine. He looked up at the inquiring gazes of the three officers, and immediately made up a reason, "Major Patton mentioned my "Di Gong Case" just now, and we are now on the train, so I thought of a detective story about the train. ”
"Hahaha, Mr. Yuan is worthy of being a writer, and he can be creative anytime and anywhere." Captain Arnold smiled and said, "Well, this is the first time I've seen a family inspired by a live event. ”
Major Patton also asked with great interest, "Mr. Yuan, can you tell us about your idea?" I've always been very interested in detectives. Hey......"
He didn't know why he suddenly sighed, and said a little lonely: "Even I want to write one myself." ”
This guy must have been too idle lately, so that's why he has this thought. However, Barton's writing is really good, and he can be regarded as a golden sentencer, and the most famous quote is that sentence, a drop of blood and ten drops...... Well, a pint of sweat can save a gallon of blood!
"No problem, since you are interested, I am naturally glad to have the officer as my audience. By the way, do you know the Express d'Orient? ”
This "idea" of his old man is naturally Agatha Christie's most famous "Murder on the Orient Express", but since this book is not in his database at the moment, he has roughly talked about the idea.
Captain Arnold reacted the fastest, and after listening to it, he asked, "Mr. Yuan means that all the people in this carriage are murderers, and they conspired to murder that villain?" ”
Yuan Yanqian nodded and said, "Bingo!" You're right. ”
Major Cao Linsheng followed up and asked, "So what should the protagonist do?" Arrest them all? ”
"What is this......" Master Yuan glanced at Major Patton meaningfully, "God will be absent, but justice will not be ......"
"Gentlemen, would you like to order dinner?"
The four of them looked up and saw that it was already dark outside the car window, and it was indeed time for dinner. Then they naturally start ordering.
"What do you want, sir?"
Finally, it was our turn for Master Yuan, who took the menu and looked at it and said, "Aiter." Let's take package A. By the way, the staple Italian seafood noodles have five ...... Forget it, three people. ”
Naturally, they asked, "Sir, do you eat alone?" ”
Yuan Yanqian rolled her eyes and said, "Of course, I didn't have lunch." ”
"Alright then......"
After ordering the food, Major Patton said thoughtfully: "Mr. Yuan, I think you have the same idea of thinking about the murder of the Eastern Train as "The Bronze Bell Case......"
"The Bronze Bell Case" is about a Buddhist temple called Puci Temple, where there are a group of prostitute monks, who have harmed many believers by pretending to be gods and ghosts.
As we all know, Empress Zetian of Wu Zhou is a fan of Buddhism in order to fight against Li Tangnai, and she also raised a monk face, so even if the case is reported, these bald donkeys will not be punished.
Therefore, after Di Renjie used his trick to capture the prostitute monk, he deliberately sent all the town troops out to suppress the bandits, so that the angry people had the opportunity to rush into the temple and kill all the flower monks who had been arrested.
In the end, he used the official document reported in time to obtain the understanding of his superiors, and he took all the charges for his dereliction of duty, which not only allowed the monks who overturned the case to be successfully punished, but also cleared the people who rioted.
Gao Luopei, the real author of "The Case of Di Gong", is indeed very generous as a Chinese scholar, and the Di Renjie he portrayed not only adheres to the principle of "righteousness is more important than life", but also has the means to be good at contingency.
For example, in "Chaoyun View", the protagonist Di Renjie actually killed Sun Tianshi, who was highly regarded by the royal family, and lied to the outside world that he had fallen and escaped unharmed. This is an extremely rare episode in the Seris case and early Western detectives.
"Oh, I haven't realized that myself." Yuan Yanqian pondered for a moment and said, "Major Patton, you're right. My two books are indeed on the same page. Law is but a means, justice is the real end. ”
"As for what God, O Buddha......" he shrugged his shoulders and said in Latin, "Numquam ponenda est pluralitas sine necessitate."
"Don't add entities if you don't have to!"

One thing is very interesting, the starting point of Taiwan's broken book is intact......
Speechless, only smiling.
