Leng Guang and Chu Kuang are not Yan people after all.

The two did not strictly set too many Wendou requirements and standards, but through tribal dialogues, under the witness of netizens, they simply defaulted the lower part of the two works to Wendou duel——

This allows both of them enough time to prepare their own works.

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

Briefly introduce the beginning.

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

Well, he really is Poirot and not Conan.

Anyway, the murder happened.

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

At the same time, the train was forced to stop due to heavy snow.

There is no shop in front of the village.

The police officers and the doctors in the car can only conduct a criminal reasoning around the famous detective Poirot in the car!

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

This is the so-called secret room murder mode in traditional mystery novels!

Because of the heavy snow blocking the road, the train trapped in the icy and snowy ground is the classic killing environment.

Very classic, very classic, and enduring model.

There have been countless murder cases in Conan.

Then Poirot began to investigate, talked to the passengers separately, and gradually learned the identity of the deceased.

The deceased did not seem to be a good person.

He was sitting on the train and worried all the time that he would be killed by a black gun that didn't know where he came from, showing how annoying this guy was.

Perhaps because there were too many enemies, the deceased had communicated with Poirot before his death, hoping that the 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 didn't like this man with cold eyes.

But Poirot did not expect this man to be really dead.

Then Poirot had to investigate the truth as a detective.

After understanding 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 are all involved in the murder!

In the whole case, they are cooperating to cover up their crimes!

Then more truths emerged:

The deceased was a kidnapper. After brutally killing a little girl, he continued to get away with bribes.

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 in depression.

The babysitter of the little girl's family was suspected of being seriously suspicious, so she couldn't bear to cross-examine and found short-sightedness.

So the truth of the final murder is shocking:

Except for Poirot, the chairman of the train company and the post-mortem doctor, all twelve people in the carriage including the conductor were murderers!

They all knew the miserable family and had been greatly favored by that family, so they decided to use lynching and kill him after seeing the victim escape the heavy responsibility of the law.

After understanding the circumstances of the incident, Detective Poirot revealed two possibilities for solving the case.

Readers who have really 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.

This time too.

Poirot’s first idea is (not the original):

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

The testimonies of these twelve individuals can provide alibi for each other.

Basically no one guessed, all the twelve were murderers!

However, this statement was obviously full of loopholes, and the doctor on the train strongly opposed it.

Poirot explains the specific loopholes in the book.

Then Poirot proposed the second possibility, an incredible possibility:

The twelve passengers were all murderers. Each of them killed the deceased, and then provided alibi to each other, creating this seemingly unsolvable case.

Although unthinkable, the murderers acquiesced.

Twelve people painfully recalled the tragedy that year.

There are also descriptions in the novel.

Probably after the tragic death of the benefactor's family, relatives and friends were living in great pain. The law could not help them, so they chose to use violence to control violence.

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 echoed that he would do some medical help.

Because only the first explanation can help the twelve murderers get rid of their crimes without being suspected.

But the details are not right.

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

From beginning to end, Poirot did not say which one might be correct.

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

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 hide it.

Including Poirot actually thinks the same way, otherwise his personality would not say let others choose this kind of words——

He decided to withdraw from the murder as a detective.

It's kind of an open ending.

The ending does not say clearly the outcome of the twelve murderers.

However, there are related easter eggs in another novel by Granny, "Death Date".

It clearly mentions that Poirot did not expose these twelve people.

The specific plot is that the wife of a suspect (she is also one of the suspects) and Poirot said:

"I know that you spared the murderer in the Orient Express case and asked them to sanction 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 meant.

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 powerful as narrative——

The narrative writing method has supported the neon reasoning for many years-

But it is also a very classic case created.

After this novel came out, indeed many mystery novels began to adopt the mode of cooperative killing, which is the inspiration obtained here.

Granny is the pioneer of many models.

If people have read similar patterns, reading Granny's book may not have much shock, but if it is the first contact, the shock is actually very huge!

Especially the narrative and Blizzard Villa mode!

Now that the slyness has come out, Lin Yuan has not 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.
