"What's wrong? My uncle and aunt must think it's strange, right? I also think that there is no way for ex-boyfriends to spend the New Year together, otherwise it's still..." Jiang Yuan had a look of understanding on his face.

"My mother said she hasn't seen you for a long time, so it's nice to meet you during the Chinese New Year," Lu Qingge said.

In fact, Lu Qingge hadn't mentioned this matter to her family yet, but her mother took the initiative to ask about it.

Jiang Yuan then remembered that he and Lu Qingge's parents seemed to have known each other before.

Before the two officially confirmed their relationship, they had met many times.

Thinking about it this way, Jiang Yuan felt less embarrassed. He regained his composure and sucked on the taro milk tea in his hand.

At the same time, on the Internet, the 48-hour announcement time for the "Murder on the Orient Express" reading challenge has passed.

Still no reader has guessed who the real murderer is, including Karl.

Karl was a little panicked at first, and he couldn't think of a reason for it for a long time.

But later I discovered that there was no movement at all even after other well-known authors announced their participation in the reading challenge.

He realized that all he had to do was pretend to be dead.

Moreover, netizens have very strong interpretive abilities, even though several master-level authors have not published any updates.

Although some people feel that Karl and others have not guessed the truth.

However, some fans felt that the reason why Carl and others did not publish updates was because they did not want to ruin the experience of other readers participating in the event.

When Karl saw this explanation, he nodded repeatedly.

Why didn't he think of such a good reason? Then he nodded affirmatively, yes, that's what he thought.

I almost believed what Carl said, but when "Murder on the Orient Express" was updated, it was launched online as soon as possible.

He didn't believe it anymore, he couldn't guess some clues before the whole story was online.

The full story of "Murder on the Orient Express" will not be released until New Year's Eve, so this update only contains part of it.

It is part of Poirot's analysis of love.

Deng Ge also started chasing updates immediately, but compared with Karl, they formed two extremes.

Deng Ge has completely lost his composure, has recognized his position, and just wants to finish reading with enjoyment, and has given up the challenge.

Karl, on the other hand, was still holding a notebook and carefully studying the past paragraph by paragraph.

He even drew a relationship diagram of the characters, a picture of the entire train, and even listed some doubtful points.

Before starting to read something new, Carl regained his confidence.

When he writes a new book, he doesn’t take it so seriously.

After being fully prepared, Karl started

Due to repeated reading of the previous content, Carl didn't feel any strangeness at all, and he naturally connected with the plot of the story.

Poirot's conversation with Mr. Booker began to look for details and gaps in the testimony that had been obtained.

The first point comes from the testimony of Ratchett's secretary McQueen.

McQueen mentioned in his testimony that Ratchett hired him precisely because he wanted to travel around the world but had a language barrier and basically only spoke English.

But the last time the conductor heard Ratchett's voice the night before, the other person replied in French, "It's okay, I rang the wrong bell."

The revelation of the first detail made Karl couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

After careful review, I found that the previous chapters were indeed described in this way.

This made Carl realize that the puzzle had indeed been given in the previous article, but he had not been able to successfully put it together.

Karl continued reading, and Poirot made another list based on his own analysis.

The list listed each passenger's motive, alibi, adverse evidence and doubts.

This is quite similar to some of Carl's notes.

In the following chapters, some questions were raised, several of which were also questions that Karl had not thought through.

For example, the ownership of the handkerchief and tobacco left at the eucalyptus scene, or who the woman in scarlet pajamas and the person playing the conductor are, etc.

This made Carl continue reading with curiosity.

.......

Time flies so fast, and a few days pass by in a blink of an eye.

In the past few days, Jiang Yuan and Lu Qingge spent most of their time together rehearsing.

So when it came to the last rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala, Jiang Yuan and the two were already full of confidence.
Chapter completed!
