The next few people Poirot questioned.

Princess Dragomirovna, Miss Schmidt, Countess Andreni and his wife...all have sufficient alibi.

"Oh my god, the name of this western country is too scary."

"This is actually just their first name. If the prefix is ​​added with the surname, at least one Chinese character will be used as the base. 17

"Brothers, what is this? The last time I saw a funny video, the teacher named a student and asked him to copy his name a hundred times, and he collapsed on the spot.

"Come Read to Me, Joey Alexander Bicky Kalisler Duff Elliott Fox Iverumo Marney Myers Patterson Thompson Wallace Preston."

"So, I think the name of Longguo is better. Generally, it is only two or three characters, and there are four or five characters more. When meeting ethnic minorities, it is only seven or eight characters."

next.

The man being interrogated was Beddoes.

"Beddos, you are Ratchett's servant, right?"

"Yes, doctor."

"I remember you delivered valerian to Mr. Ratchett last night, didn't you?"

"Yes, I delivered it to Mr. Ratchett at about nine forty last night, and he was talking to Mr. McQueen about work, and asked me to put the valerian on the table, and let me go. "

"Then, I asked him what time to wake him up tomorrow, and he said ten in the morning, and then I closed the door and left. Mr. McQueen was still chatting with Mr. Ratchett.

"Did you hear what they were talking about?"

"I stayed for a relatively short time. After I went in, the chat between the two stopped. I probably heard some words such as porcelain bowls and cups, but I didn't know much about others."

"Then when you go back, do you go to sleep directly?"

"No sir, I usually go to bed late because I have a toothache all the time."

"Then what were you doing ¯||?"

"Oh, I was reading a book called Captive of Love by Mrs. Arabella Richardson."

"I remember you were in the lower berth No. 1, so the upper berth seems to be Foscarelli, right?"

"Yes, an Italian, and a very lecherous man."

"Oh, what do you say?"

"I was reading a book at the time, and he couldn't fall asleep, so he lay on the edge of the bed and asked me what book I was reading. I said the prisoner of love. He immediately asked me with a squinting face if there was any dew. I was too lazy to answer him, so I asked Just say it's not six o'clock, it's already past ten o'clock."

"Then, as soon as there was nothing he was interested in, he stopped talking to me and fell asleep under the covers.

"Then how long did you sleep for?"

"I was still reading until this happened, because my sleep habit is usually three or four in the morning.

"You're sure Foscarelli hasn't been away all this time, are you?"

"Yes, sir."

"Well, thank you, Mr. Beddoes."

"Mr. Foscarelli, what were you doing between 10 and 12 last night?"

"I'm sleeping in bed."

"are you asleep?"

"No, the old man in the lower berth screamed from time to time because of toothache, I can sleep!"

"That is to say, neither you nor Beddos slept until Ratchett died, right?"

"Yes, he has been reading, and I was covered with a quilt, trying to sleep, but I couldn't sleep at all; I wanted to ask him if there are any dewy books to read, the night is long, you understand, but he said no, Also tell me that there is no dew point, it is already ten o'clock..."

"Hahahahaha...well, thank you, Mr. Foscarelli."

In addition to McQueen and Michel, Poirot was the only one left in the entire Calais carriage, Mrs. Harbart.

He deliberately put Mrs. Hubbart at the end, hoping to get enough information from other places before interrogating Hubart.

For, apart from Poirot, Mrs. Hubbard was the nearest person to Ratchett, in terms of proximity and geography.

Poirot had not yet spoken.

Hubbard sat down directly opposite Poirot, and said proactively:

"Oh my god, it's finally my turn! I said I'd finish the question early and I was going to bed.

"Haha, Mrs. Harbart, I'm sorry to disturb your rest, but can you still sleep after such a big thing happened?"

"Why can't I sleep? I didn't do it. I don't do anything wrong in my life, and I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night.

"That's 10-12 o'clock, ma'am, are you asleep?"

"Drowsy, not quite asleep."

"Then about what happened during this time period, have you heard any movement next door? After all, there is a small door where you can go through."

"No, I didn't hear anything. Also, what do you mean I have a small door to go? The opposite door is closed, can I get through? I'm a petite woman." ?"

"I'm telling you, Poirot, if my second husband were here, I'd give you a big mouth! You're slandering me out of thin air."

"Ma'am, you misunderstood. We are just chatting normally."

After continuing to chat with Mrs. Harbart for a few more questions, Poirot put the other party back.

The whole interrogation, as if nothing was asked, was full of irrelevant bullshit.

Sister Zhou anxiously asked Poirot: "Have you found anything? Judging from the testimonies alone, no one had a motive for the murder and the time of the murder."

"No, no, Bianchi! Although we didn't seem to ask a single useful question, there is actually a lot of information hidden in it."

"you mean?"

Poirot smiled, and carefully explained to Sister Zhou:

(Li Nuohao) "If we can rule out the joint crimes committed by people in the same box, then the two people who confirm each other will definitely not be the murderer."

"That is to say, we can rule out Debenham and Miss Olsen, Beddoth and Mr Foscarelli, Colonel Arbuthnot and Mr Hardman.

"Princess Dragomirovna is already an advanced age woman, obviously not capable of such actions;"

"Now, our range of suspects is further narrowed down to the Earl and Mrs. Andréjon, Mr. McQueen, Miss Schmidt, and our train conductor Michelle."

"But Michelle didn't have an obvious time to commit the crime, right? When you found the body, he was still on the platform of the station." Sister Zhou asked with a frown.

"No, no, Bianchi! We can't accurately determine the time of Ratchett's death now. What if Michelle went to the platform after killing someone and deliberately gave us such an illusion?".
