Dad: My identity as Qu Dad has been exposed by my daughter

Chapter 216 The murderer turned out to be them! Soldiers raided and finished

After the murder in Death on the Nile, the plot is closely linked. Reading

The rhythm is similar to Murder on the Orient Express.

After the pistol was salvaged from the river, Poirot began to question the suspect.

Readers familiar with Queen Agatha's writing style know that Agatha is best at making everyone a suspect.

"The Nile" cannot be called a suspect for everyone, but it is not far off.

And many of her works have a fixed pattern.

Detective + friend + doctor!

What does it mean?

That is, the murder must have happened around Poirot, and Poirot happened to have an "official" who matched the work scene around him, and the third person, there must be a doctor to identify the injury.

Death on the Nile did not get rid of this story pattern.

Poirot, Colonel Race, and Dr. Bessner investigated the murder scene.

Then the possible suspects were questioned.

Because the pistol was thrown into the water.

So the questioning also has fixed questions, such as asking if you heard any sound.

Gunshots.

Or splashing water.

Several people heard the splashing water.

Linette's servant Louise Bourget was the last person to see Linette, and Poirot questioned her in detail.

But it was obvious that she was hiding something from Poirot.

She told Poirot:

"Of course, if I hadn't been able to sleep at the time, or had climbed the stairs, then I might have seen this demon entering and leaving Madame's room..."

Poirot didn't care about this sentence.

But he would remember it later.

And there was something particularly strange.

Linette's pearl necklace disappeared.

"Why did the murderer take Linette's necklace?" This question also confused Poirot.

Burglary?

Or was it stolen by the servant?

Or did someone else enter the room?

The case gradually became complicated.

Poirot organized a search of the rooms on the ship. He wanted to find the pearls, because finding the pearls would have a clue to the case.

But in the process of searching.

Linette's servant Louise Bourget disappeared.

Poirot and Colonel Race searched Louise Bourget's room as a matter of routine.

But no one expected it!

The missing Louise Bourget was in her room.

Dead!

The body was hidden under her bed.

She held a torn corner of a banknote in her hand.

Dr. Bessner concluded that Bourget was stabbed to death by a sharp scalpel and died on the spot.

Readers' nerves were tense at this point.

"Another person died!"

"Why was Louise Bourget killed?"

"She must know something! She was silenced by the murderer."

"That must be the case!"

"Fuck, so this time the big pig's hoof is writing about a serial murder case?"

"It's getting more and more exciting."

"So who is the murderer?"

The plot entered a more tense state.

Even Ichiro Oda couldn't stop.

And just as the readers guessed, Poirot quickly made a conclusion.

Louise Bourget must have known something!

So she was silenced.

Bourget's death once again cast a cloud over everyone's heart.

Poirot accelerated the investigation of the case. When Simon was asking Simon about Linette's situation, Mrs. Otterburn suddenly rushed in.

"Simon! I know who killed your wife."

Mrs. Otterburn was particularly excited.

She claimed that there was solid evidence to prove who killed Linette.

"The person who killed Louise Bourget is the same person who killed Linette - the two crimes were committed by the same person. Do you agree with this?"

"I know who killed Louise Bourget!"

"I saw this person!"

"It was when I was going to lunch. I didn't feel like eating much - it was all because of the terrible tragedy that happened recently. Halfway through, I remembered that something had fallen in the room..."

"I walked to the corner and saw someone knocking on the maid's door and walking in."

"That person is..."

Bang! !

Just as the murderer's name was about to come out, a gunshot rang out and Mrs. Otterburn was shot behind the ear.

She fell to the ground and died.

Poirot and others were horrified and immediately chased the shooter.

However, the murderer was not seen.

There was only a huge revolver thrown on the ground in front of the threshold...

"Fuck! My body was shaking, as if I heard the gunshot with my own ears."

"Another dead person!!"

"Isn't this murderer too bold? He killed people in front of Poirot!"

"Provocation! This is a provocation to Poirot!"

"Remember "Murder on the Orient Express"? That scarlet pajamas! Appeared in Poirot's box! This time is even more outrageous! Killing people directly in front of Poirot."

"This murderer is crazy."

"Who is it?"

"Remember when Poirot searched the room? That revolver! Poirot had seen it in Pennington's room."

"Is the murderer Pennington?"

"It's not that simple!"

The people who put it on died one after another, which made people feel very uneasy.

After experiencing all the villains in "Murder on the Orient Express", readers are used to guessing what tricks the big pig's hoof will play this time.

"Oh my God! Will all of them be killed this time?"

"If we don't find the murderer, it's very likely."

"The big pig's hooves play big every time."

"I'm getting goosebumps...keep reading."

There are all kinds of speculations in the book review section.

Because of the revolver, after Mrs. Otterbein died, Poirot immediately asked Pennington for questioning.

At Pennington's place, Poirot identifies Pennington as the man who pushed down the stone in the attempted murder.

But the murderer was not Pennington.

because!

This was a closely planned murder that required a bold and careful man to carry out, and Pennington was not bold enough.

Poirot already had the answer in his mind.

He told Colonel Reese his reasoning.

The one who killed Lynette!

It was her husband.

Simon Doyle!

Oda Ichiro couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw this, "Holy shit!" This was the new and profound Chinese vocabulary he had learned.

"How is it possible?" Oda Ichiro couldn't believe it. "How could it be him? How is it possible?"

Readers’ comments after this paragraph also exploded instantly.

"How could it be Simon?"

"He suffered a gunshot wound to his leg... It's impossible to kill Lynette. Besides, why did he kill his wife? He should kill Jacqueline if he wanted to! Jacqueline hindered him and his wife."

"Yes!! What is really going on?"

"Poirot: don't be nervous, just kidding everyone."

"Poirot: The real murderer is...well! I don't know either."

Simon is the murderer.

It was like a bombshell that readers didn't even react to.

Simon Doyle!

Have a perfect alibi.

You can't say the injury on his leg is fake, can you?

Shot in the leg, there was no way he could kill Lynette.

Moreover, Mrs. Otterbein died in front of Poirot. Simon was also present at the time, and it was not him who fired the shot... Obviously the murderer was someone else.

Just when everyone thought Poirot was joking.

Poirot explained the case in detail.

"This was a murder by two people!"

"What provides evidence for Simon's alibi? The shot fired by Jacqueline."

"And who provided the evidence for Jacqueline's alibi? It was Simon who insisted that a nurse stay with her all night."

"So put it all together and you get - a calm, resourceful, calculating mind, the boss of Jacqueline de Belfort."

After Simon was the murderer, Poirot dropped another bombshell.

Jacqueline is Simon's accomplice!

The readers were instantly blown away.

"Holy shit! What did I see? Jacqueline and Simon were included in the non-suspect list from the beginning! Tell me now! Did they conspire to murder Lynette?"

"What's going on? Simon's leg was injured, and Jacqueline was with Miss Bowles all night... There was no time to commit the crime."

"Confused."

Everyone was stunned.

After going around in circles, the suspect turned out to be the least likely suspect...

Oda Ichiro lit a cigarette to calm down his shock.

He had no idea that the murderers would be these two people.

"Alibi!" Oda Ichiro was shocked. "This book is mainly about... the perfect alibi?"

He suddenly thought of this terrible possibility.

Is this going to compete with my "Perfect Alibi"?

Interesting!

I want to see if you are more skilled or if I am more cunning!

Judging from the current plot design.

It seems that the big pig's hooves are better...

Readers are completely unable to control their thirst for knowledge.

Colonel Reese was shocked when he heard such a conclusion, because these two men did not have the qualifications to kill at all.

Poirot then provided sufficient arguments to support his conclusion.

"Both men have perfect alibis," said Poirot. "But don't forget that after Simon was 'shot' and Jacqueline was taken away, he had five minutes to stay alone in the hall...five minutes! It was enough for him to kill Lynette." said Poirot.

Rhys brought up that Simon was injured and there was nothing he could do for these five minutes.

Poirot explains that this was a carefully planned murder.

Jacqueline's shot never hit Simon's leg.

"But his leg was indeed injured." Reese still didn't quite understand.

Poirot gave a reasonable explanation that the first injury was fake. After everyone left, Simon left the hall and went to Linnet's room and killed Linnet.

Then he returned to the hall.

He shot himself in the leg.

"Three shots were fired... but only two bullets were missing from the gun." Reese still had doubts.

"Because he still had spare bullets...Jacqueline actually had two identical guns."

Once Lynette's death is explained clearly, the next two murders will be easier to explain.

It is clear that Simon was not responsible for the deaths of the servants and Mrs. Otterbein.

Because his legs are really hurt.

And it was Jacqueline who had to do it.

Servant Louise Bourget saw Simon entering Lynette's room on the night of the crime, and Bourget blackmailed Simon out of greed for money.

Simon tells Jacqueline to kill her.

When Jacqueline came out after killing Bourgeois, she was seen by Mrs. Otterbein. Mrs. Otterbein was going to tell the truth, so Jacqueline shot him on the spot!

To prove Poirot's inference.

Rhys and Poirot went to the hall to look for bullets, and sure enough they found bullet marks on the wooden table in the hall, which showed that the bullet Jacqueline fired did not hit Simon.

The case has come to light here.

"But why did Simon kill his new wife?" Reese was puzzled.

"He doesn't love Lynette, he even hates her, but he loves her money... If Lynette dies, he will inherit this woman's property."

All the logical chains are aligned.

Perfect fit!

The motive and crime process were explained perfectly.

Only then did Ichiro Oda realize that from the very beginning of this book, the big pig's hooves were laying the foundation for everything, "A perfect alibi! A very wonderful alibi! Absolutely amazing!"

He suddenly felt that his new book... was a bit rubbish.

The readers were also shocked at this moment.

“I never expected that!!”

"I never dreamed that the murderer would be these two people who were excluded from the beginning..."

"horrible!"

"Love is a terrible thing. So many great loves are tragedies."

"This alibi is perfect!"

"It's much more sophisticated than the design of "Perfect Alibi", and the suspense lasts until the end."

"It's a pity...Really, I feel worthless for Jacqueline."

"She loved so much."

Readers can't help but feel overwhelmed.

But I always feel that the story written here is not a perfect ending.

In "Murder on the Orient Express", Poirot let "all the murderers" go, which made many people breathe a sigh of relief.

What about "Death on the Nile"?

What will happen to Jacqueline and Simon?

Agatha also gave arrangements in the book.

When the cruise ship docks,

Simon was put on a stretcher and Jacqueline bent down to tie her shoes.

But a gun was pulled out from above the stocking!

Bang!

Simon was shot dead.

Then, she pointed the shiny, toy-like little pistol at her heart and pulled the trigger...

This ending is unexpected.

But it also seems to be the best ending.

Many people who saw this felt a sense of sadness, as if something suppressed in their hearts had been released.

And this book has completely come to an end.

"I read it all in one go!! I didn't even bother to go to the toilet."

"A perfect example of alibi!"

"Actually, I suspected it was Jacqueline at the beginning... But because they had a perfect alibi, I completely gave up my suspicion! I didn't expect that in the end... this reversal was too sudden and unexpected."

"Hey, what a good girl..."

"If you love the wrong person, you will really waste your life."

After the novel ended, a series of sighs were left in the comment area.

The rewards are endless.

"Husband...why can you come up with such a wonderful and perfectly fitting murder case?" Shu Wan read the entire book happily.

"Because your husband is a genius." Su Chen kissed her gently.

"I admit this." Shu Wan rolled her eyes, "Tell me honestly, are you planning to murder your beautiful diva wife? Then inherit her shopping cart."

Su Chen said as he hugged his wife's waist, "The first step in murdering her is to push my wife down and bully her."

"Wait until she falls asleep and quietly empty her shopping cart."

Shu Wan was bullied badly that night.

After more than three months of filming, "Soldier Assault" has finally been completed.

Because the actors invited are all big names except Xu Qiang.

So the cost is much more than the 7 million on earth, a total of 20 million!

But compared to many TV series, Geng Bo has controlled success quite perfectly.

As soon as the final news came out.

It immediately became popular all over the Internet.
