Sister Chen was curious.

She pointed to the paper roll in the tube on the fireplace in the miniature, "You're too detailed here, what is this?" ”

Jiang Yang's heart is beating wildly!

My black silk!

It's like cheating and hiding a little note in your hand, and now the invigilator asks you what you have.

The watch in Jiang Yang's hand has heart rate monitoring.

He suspected that it had now soared past a hundred.

Jiang Yang contributed his lifelong acting skills for the sake of black silk, "This is a paper twist, do you see it below?" This is a fireplace, and when you make a fire, you have to twist it with paper. I do it carefully, in order to write well, you see this purple box is not, more detailed! ”

This box is the size of a matchbox.

Sister Chen opened it, and there was really everything inside.

This is a document box, which contains a bunch of documents, both title deeds, house deeds, lease contracts, loan contracts, and so on -

Why can there be so many things in a file box the size of a matchbox, and Sister Chen can still see it clearly?

Because there's just a piece of paper in it.

Jiang Yang wrote "title deeds, house deeds, letters, ......" on paper with a pen

There was also a piece of paper next to it with "evidence" written on it.

Sister Chen was convinced, "You are too meticulous!" ”

"yes."

Jiang Yang thought he was praising himself and was impressed by his handling.

Sister Chen shook her head.

She was just about to get busy, Jiang Yang looked left and right, "Where are my tweezers?" ”

Sister Chen helped him find it, looked around, and saw that next to Jiang Yang's hand-pressed cardboard was tweezers, and the silver was shining very easily, and after Sister Chen pointed it out to him, she complained: "You have big eyes, you look good, and they are white." ”

Jiang Yang thinks it's better to be his wife.

He can stare at Li Qingning and say, the night gives me black eyes, and I use them to find light.

A long kiss followed.

Sister Chen went out.

Jiang Yang let out a sigh of relief, startling him, thinking that Sister Chen's reasoning had not yet been read, so she cracked it.

"The Strange Eucalyptus of Stiles Manor" is Grandma's first mystery book and the first book in which Poirot appears. When writing this book, Grandma didn't think it would be that long, so Poirot was a little Belgian old man who fled to England because of the war. Grandma later regretted that she knew that if she could write for such a long time, she should have turned Poirot into a young man.

There are many characters in this book, the names of which are difficult to remember, and then many people have criminal motives, and they all become objects of suspicion. But if you take away the clues that Grandma used to confuse the reader, the whole story becomes simpler.

***

The old lady is a stepmother, she has two sons, her husband gave all the inheritance to the old lady, the old lady is rich, and then the old lady has a housekeeper, she has a distant cousin, hooked up with the old lady and got married, and became a little husband.

If you have a stepmother, and if you have a stepfather, the two sons will definitely not do it.

The loyal housekeeper didn't do it either, saying that the little husband wanted the old lady's money, quarreled with the old lady, and left.

Then, in the early morning of one day when the little husband was not at home, the three doors were locked, and the old lady screamed in the house and died of poisoning.

Poirot stepped in at this point.

There is a lot of confusing evidence in it,

For example, the eldest son's daughter-in-law gave the old lady sleeping pills, so that she could enter the room in the middle of the night and look for evidence of her husband's cheating in the old lady's purple box.

Jiang Yang wrote all of these into the book, so there is no need to mention them again.

The little husband was suspected first.

He was accused by the doctor of buying the strychtoxin, which he said he did not buy himself, but refused to say when he bought the poison. It means that you should arrest me quickly, arrest me and prosecute me, and after the prosecution, I will show an alibi, and then according to the principle of non res judicata, once you prosecute, you can no longer prosecute me for the same crime, and I will be exonerated -

But Poirot provided an alibi for the younger husband, and the younger husband was exempted from prosecution.

His good deeds made Poirot bad.

In fact, on the day of her death, the old lady and her eldest son quarreled because the old lady found out that the eldest son was having an affair with the neighbor's widow. She was so angry that she wanted to change her will and give the property she gave to her eldest son to her younger husband. She wrote a will to be sent out, and there were no stamps in the room, so she went to her little husband's room to look for it, and then found a letter written by her little husband to her cousin, just the housekeeper.

It turned out that the little husband and the housekeeper were a couple, and they conspired to kill the old lady to get the inheritance.

This letter was written by the little husband to reassure the housekeeper not to worry, because the old lady was delayed because of the matter, she did not drink the tonic medicine, and her death was delayed by one day.

Halfway through the letter, the young husband was interrupted by the old lady telling him to do something.

The letter was sent out without hesitation, and the little husband hid it.

So the old lady read half of it, and the letter only wrote that the old lady didn't die yesterday, but she didn't write how to kill the old lady, and the old lady was very angry when she saw it, so she built a fireplace in the summer and burned the new will that favored her husband.

But the old lady didn't know how the other party could kill herself.

She went to bed early in anger and drank the tonic that was only one sip left.

This tonic originally contained strychnine, and then the housekeeper threw away the stink, so that most of the strychnine crystallized and settled at the bottom.

The old lady dried Shi Dinin in one breath and overdosed on the drug. Then, when she quarreled with her eldest son, the eldest daughter-in-law heard it, and the eldest daughter-in-law gave the old lady sleeping pills in order to find out the evidence of cheating in the middle of the night, and the old lady postponed the time due to sleeping pill poisoning until the early hours of the morning.

Motivation is just that.

If there aren't so many confusing clues and motives, it's pretty simple.

Many people may guess that the old boy is the murderer when they read the book.

But Grandma's ability to mislead people is very powerful.

In the process of confirming, whitewashing, and reconfirming, many people may have given up their initial suspicions. Then the housekeeper and the little husband have been opposed, and the housekeeper has been shouting to arrest the little husband, so it is easy for people to fall into misunderstandings.

There is another point that amazes Jiang Yang, Grandma has always portrayed Poirot as an obsessive-compulsive disorder.

When Jiang Yang first read it, he thought that this was to establish Poirot's personal image, but who knew that this later became the key point of breaking the eucalyptus, that is, the old lady put half of the letter written by her little husband in the purple file box. After she died, because the contents of the file box were very important, Poirot didn't look at the contents, and locked the box very gentlemanly, planning to wait for the lawyer to come and look at it.

As an obsessive-compulsive disorder, he also sorted out the ornaments on the fireplace by the way.

In order to get rid of suspicion, the little husband sneaked into the room and pried the box to get the letter, and just as he was about to destroy it, he heard the voice of Poirot and them, so he tore the letter and made it into a paper twist, and put it in a bottle with paper twist on the fireplace.

Poirot came in and found that the box had been prying, and he was very angry, and the angry little old man sorted out the ornaments on the fireplace again.

Later, Poirot could not find any direct evidence.

It was at this point that the wingman role came into play, and Hastings inadvertently mentioned that Poirot had cleaned up the things on the fireplace twice.

For an obsessive-compulsive disorder, tidying up once, sealing the scene, if no one has touched it, it won't be sorted out a second time, so Poirot immediately understands that the ornament has been moved!

Then Poirot found the letter, which directly proved that the young husband and the housekeeper were the murderers.

As Grandma's debut novel, the shortcomings of this book lie in this-

The letter.

Not to mention what it was for, even if it was eaten after getting the letter.

Jiang Yang has a kind of writing that her little husband has a habit of cleanliness, so she doesn't eat paper and helps Yuanyuan.

But he doesn't know whether to keep a beard or not.

This will have to be written without a beard, and the housekeeper will not be able to disguise her little husband to buy medicine.

Jiang Yang thought about it, let's keep it in its original appearance.

In case this letter paper is unpalatable.

Or maybe the little husband didn't expect it for a while, after all, the murder idea was come up with by the housekeeper.

Grandma explained it very well in the book.

However, there is another point, that is, if the reader wants to follow the reasoning, he must know the principle of poison, and he must know the law of no longer paying attention, so this is a book that shows Grandma's reasoning queen skills, but the reversal slightly entangles Jiang Yang.

It's a decent debut for Poirot.

This is also the reason why Jiang Yang just saw Sister Chen holding the paper twister.

That's the answer the Great Demon King is looking for.
