Chapter 1114 'Murder on the Orient Express'

Qing Ruoli didn't ask why Xiao Yang was so confident, because she believed in Xiao Yang now!

Since Xiao Yang said someone can win, it must be true.

Dinner was served quickly.

Before the two of them started eating, Zhang Luanxiong suddenly walked in.

Xiao Yang's eyes flashed.

Zhang Luanxiong smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, I didn't expect such a coincidence."

Xiao Yang smiled slightly, "Mr. Zhang also likes to eat here?"

Zhang Luanxiong sat down without hesitation, "This restaurant is my property."

Qing Ruoli forced a smile and said, "Mr. Zhang, let's eat together."

Zhang Luanxiong smiled and said, "Then I would be disrespectful."

This guy looks fierce, but he turns out to be very polite when he talks.

Zhang Luanxiong smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, congratulations to "Pangu" for winning the world box office championship."

"Thank you Mr. Zhang."

"Mr. Xiao makes so much money every time he makes a movie. It makes me want to make a movie."

Zhang Luanxiong smiled and said, "It's a pity that I don't know much about this industry. I don't know if Mr. Xiao is willing to cooperate."

Xiao Yang smiled and said, "DreamWorks will not cooperate with any company for the time being."

Zhang Luanxiong's face was filled with regret, "That's such a pity."

Looking at Qing Ruoli, he smiled and asked, "Ruoli, have you thought about it?"

Qing Ruoli smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, I have already thought about it, so I won't bother you with my family affairs for the time being."

Zhang Luanxiong's face changed slightly.

Xiao Yang smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, you don't have to come to Sister Qing anymore."

Zhang Luanxiong knew without thinking that Xiao Yang must have helped Qing Ruoli. He looked at Xiao Yang and said meaningfully, "I didn't expect Mr. Xiao to have people in Taiwan."

Xiao Yang smiled and said nothing.

Zhang Luanxiong smiled and said, "Ruoli, have you joined DreamWorks?"

Qing Ruoli was startled.

Zhang Luanxiong stood up and said, "If you haven't joined, join as soon as possible, otherwise you will have no chance in the future."

Looking at Xiao Yang, "Mr. Xiao, let's talk another day."

He Shi Shiran left.

Qing Ruoli was confused, "What did he want to say?"

Xiao Yang frowned. She remembered that Qing Ruoli's contract was with Tang Corporation. Why did Zhang Luanxiong persuade Qing Ruoli to join DreamWorks?

Qing Ruoli smiled and said, "He is probably trying to be mysterious."

Xiao Yang smiled slightly and said, "Don't think about this, let's eat first."

The next day, Banana Superman released his new work - "Murder on the Orient Express".

After all, Banana Man is the author who won the first place before, and his novel attracted a lot of attention as soon as it was released.

As soon as you hear the title, you know that this is definitely a train mystery novel.

This world has already been written about, and many people are curious about what new ideas Banana Superman can write.

People clicked in to take a look.

The protagonist of the novel is a famous detective named Hercule Poirot, who plans to take the Orient Express to London, England.

Before departure, Poirot met his old friend Mr. Booker, the director of the International Coach Company, at the Tokarlian Hotel.

When the two were having dinner together in a restaurant, Ratchett, an American at the next table, caught Poirot's attention. He looked to be in his sixties or seventies, and his eyes always revealed a fierce and evil aura.

What's even more strange is that people all over the world seem to choose to travel on that night, and it's hard to get a ticket for the luxury train, which usually has plenty of berths.

Poirot, who was eager to return to England but could not buy a ticket, squeezed onto the train with the help of Mr. Booker.

At noon the next day, Poirot came to the dining car and began to observe the passengers in the carriage according to his habit: a tall, dark-skinned Italian, a thin and dignified Englishman who looked like a servant, and a big man who looked like a traveling salesman.

Americans, serious Russian ladies and waiters, the ambassador and his wife from Hungary...

At the other end of the carriage sat a man named McQueen and his employer Ratchett.

After the dining car dispersed, the passengers left one after another.

At this moment, Ratchett suddenly came up.

He has learned Poirot's identity. He bluntly stated that his life was being threatened and hoped to hire Poirot to protect him.

Poirot was unmoved.

That night, the train arrived in Belgrade and additional carriages were added.

Mr. Booker gave up box number one to Poirot and moved into the second-class train. Poirot accepted his kindness and moved into the box next to Ratchett.

At approximately 12:37 midnight, Poirot was awakened by a man's howling.

The howl seemed to come from the next carriage, which was Samuel Ratchett's room.

When Poirot peeped out from the crack of the door, he saw the administrator knocking on Mr. Ratchett's door, asking for his orders.

Poirot fell silent when he heard a man reply in French, "I was mistaken."

Poirot had no choice but to go back to sleep, but he had a bad feeling about the train stopping.

When he decided to ring the bell, he heard someone beat him to it and heard the administrator arguing with her.

He remembered that the man was called "Herb".

Poirot learns that Herb claimed someone was in and out of her carriage.

He also learned that the train had stopped moving due to the snowstorm.

Then he went to rest.

When he woke up the next morning, he found Mr. Ratchett dead, stabbed to death in his sleep.

Booker suggested that Hercule Poirot take on the murder case.

The stab wounds on Mr. Samuel Ratchett's body were very peculiar, some of them very shallow, and only three of them were fatal.

Additionally, some of them appear to be caused by right-handed people, and some appear to be caused by left-handed people.

Poirot found more clues in Samuel Ratchett's guest room, including a linen handkerchief with an "h" embroidered on it and a pipe cleaner.

These clues indicate that the murderer deliberately left clues. However, each clue seems to point to a different suspect, making people confused.

Eventually Poirot learned the truth: the deceased man, whose pseudonym was Samuel Ratchett, was actually a notorious criminal whose real name was Cassetti.

This man once kidnapped the 3-year-old daughter of American Colonel Armstrong, Daisy. Although he received a large ransom from the colonel, he still brutally murdered the little girl and then fled away.

Sonia, the colonel's wife, was pregnant again at the time. When she heard the news of her daughter's death, she went into shock and gave birth prematurely. The mother and child died on the spot after treatment failed.

Colonel Armstrong was too sad and shot himself. Daisy's nanny Susan was considered an accomplice by the police and fell from the window to her death. She was later proven innocent.

Although Cassetti was arrested, he spent money to buy it up and down, and was eventually released without charge.

From then on, he changed his name, fled the United States, and lived on the huge wealth at hand.

The readers felt their scalps numb as they saw that this dead man had no sympathy at all.

Damn it!

Readers are very curious, who killed this thug?

What follows is even more mind-numbing.

Because many clues show that there are many murderers!

What would Poirot do?
