Chapter 318: Two Choices

Leng Guang and Chu Mad 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 to the duel of Wendou in the next work of the two-

This gave both of them plenty of time to prepare their work.

After deciding to write "Murder on the Orient Express", Lin Yuan was basically busy with this matter in the following days.

A brief introduction to the beginning.

In the ice and snow, a train is moving, and our protagonist Poirot happens to be riding on this train.

Well, he's really Poirot and not Conan.

In short, the homicide happened.

The deceased, a passenger, was stabbed to death in his box.

At the same time, the train was forced to stop because of heavy snowfall.

There is no shop in front of the village here.

The police officer, the doctor in the car, etc., can only revolve around the famous detective Poirot in the carriage to carry out a criminal deduction!

Only by finding the murderer and solving the case can the safety of the remaining occupants be guaranteed.

This is the so-called closed room murder mode of traditional reasoning!

Because of the heavy snow blocking the road, the train trapped in the ice and snow is the classic secret room killing environment.

It's classic, it's classical, it's a timeless model.

There have been countless murders in secret rooms in Conan alone.

Poirot then begins to investigate, talking to the passengers separately and gradually learning about the identity of the deceased.

The deceased did not seem to be a good person.

He sat on the train all the time worrying that he would be killed by a black gun from an unknown source, 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 him.

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 somewhat cold look in his eyes.

But Poirot didn't expect the man to really die.

Then Poirot will have to find out the truth as a detective.

After learning about the identity of the deceased, Poirot also discovered a startling fact:

There were more than a dozen passengers on this train, all related to a kidnapping case made by the deceased!

So their testimonies are all fake!

Because they were all involved in the murder!

The whole case is that they are working together to cover up each other's crimes!

Then more truth emerged:

The deceased was a kidnapper who continued to get away with bribes after brutally killing a little girl.

The little girl's mother was pregnant at the time, and soon after she gave birth to a stillborn child, she died of a serious illness.

The little girl's father also died of depression.

The nanny of the little girl's family was suspected of being seriously suspicious, so she could not bear to be interrogated, so she looked for a short time.

So the truth about the last murder is shocking:

In addition to Poirot, the chairman of the train company and the post-mortem doctor, everyone in the carriage, including the conductor, a total of twelve people are murderers!

They all knew the tragic family and had received great favor from that family, so they decided to lynch the victim and kill him after seeing him escape the weight of the law.

And Detective Poirot, after understanding the cause of the incident, said two possibilities to solve the case.

Readers who have actually watched the Poirot series will know that Poirot likes to say several possible ideas when the truth is revealed at the end, but with the exception of the last one, the previous ideas are often wrong.

It's the same this time.

Poirot's first idea was (not the original words):

"The murderer got into the car on the way, ran away after killing someone, probably the mafia or something, and had a business relationship with the deceased, and this explanation is based on believing the testimony of these twelve people. ”

The testimony of these twelve people can provide each other with an alibi.

Basically, no one guessed that all twelve people were murderers!

However, this statement is obviously full of loopholes, and the doctor on the train strongly disagrees.

The specific loophole Poirot explains in the book.

Poirot then proposes a second possibility, an unbelievable one:

The twelve passengers, all murderers, killed the deceased with a knife, and then provided each other with alibis, creating this seemingly unsolvable case.

Although it was unbelievable, the murderers confessed.

Twelve people painfully recalled the tragic incident of that year.

There is also a text description in it.

It is probably that 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 fight violence with violence.

Here it is.

Poirot asks the person in charge of the train which answer is accepted?

The person in charge chose the first, that is, the wrong answer.

The doctor then chimed in and said that he would do some medical help.

Because only the first explanation is that it can exonerate twelve murderers without suspicion.

But the details don't match.

So the doctor hinted that he would help with some medical help.

From beginning to end, Poirot didn't say which one might be right.

He just said, I offer two possibilities, you choose.

That is, to help these twelve people hide the truth, or to expose the crime, let you choose.

The train director and the doctor unanimously chose to hide it.

Including Poirot actually thinks so too, otherwise with his character, he wouldn't have said this kind of thing to let others choose-

He decided to quit the murder as a detective.

It's kind of an open-ended ending.

The ending does not explicitly state the ending of the twelve murderers.

However, there are related easter eggs in Grandma's other "Death Date".

It clearly mentions that Poirot did not expose the twelve.

The specific plot is that of a suspect's wife (who is also one of the suspects herself) and Poirot said:

"I know you spared the murderer in the Orient Express case and made them sanction the most heinous man. Can't you do the same this time?"

Poirot asked, "How do you know about the Orient Express? Not this time, 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 "Murder on the Orient Express", although the influence is not as strong as that of the narrative -

The narrative writing method has fed neon reasoning for many years-

But it is also a very classic case to create.

After this film came out, there was indeed a lot of reasoning that 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 much shocked, but if it is the first time to contact it, the shock is actually very huge!

Especially the Narrative and Blizzard modes!

Now that the narrative has come out, Blizzard Mountain Villa is the big move, and Lin Yuan has not released it yet.

In short, at this time, Lin Yuan had already completed the adjustment and adaptation of the background of the characters in "Murder on the Orient Express".

Next, it's time for the official writing.
