Chapter 424 Karl: I was shocked!(2/2)

This made Karl nod subconsciously, at least this was not too far from what he thought.

The Armstrong case is really the key to this case.

But after the true identities of all the passengers were revealed, we thought of the twelve stabbings on Ratchett's body.

The intensity varied, even with both left and right hands, and some even stabbed after death.

This made Carl think of a possibility.

At this point, there is only the last chapter left to the truth.

After Karl guessed this idea, he subconsciously widened his eyes. Isn't this possible?

But the movements of his hands did not stop.

At the end of the story, all the travelers are gathered together, and Poirot comes to two conclusions.

The first conclusion is that the murderer is from outside, that is, the dangerous person Ratchett mentioned before that he is being targeted.

After the other party got on the train, he stabbed Ratchett to death while taking sleeping pills, and then fled the train.

From the perspective of a reader who has read the entire book, this conclusion is obviously false at first glance.

Therefore, the second conclusion is the real truth.

Karl took a deep breath, feeling a little excited.

If the truth is really what he thinks, the next part is the highlight of the whole book.

In a daze, Karl seemed to feel that he was also on this train, and Poirot seemed to appear in front of him to express his final conclusion.

With only the last chapter left, the hints about the murderer are already extremely obvious.

That is - they are all murderers!

This alone shocked Karl and made him feel a bit outrageous.

No wonder no one can guess the final truth. Even if it is a blind guess, no one will enter everyone's name.

First of all, this conclusion alone is surprising.

But what made Karl even more curious was the following reasoning and analysis.

To lay out such a structure is a very large amount of work in Karl's opinion.

First of all, make sure that the whole story is like a beautiful puzzle piece that fits together perfectly.

All the previous content is very beautiful, and the current analysis is the last piece of the story.

"There is another conclusion about this murder," Poirot began.

First of all, the first unusual thing on the train was that even though it was the off-peak tourist season, there were all kinds of passengers filling the carriages.

Different identities and nationalities, but if you match these people with the Armstrong family, they seem to have found their respective roles.

Twelve people related to the Armstrong case formed their own jury and boarded the train.

The script became clear immediately.

Next, Poirot analyzed the testimony one by one and accurately dissected the truth.

This section made Carl very excited, as if he was witnessing the completion of a perfect jigsaw puzzle.

All the details are so perfectly matched.

At the end of the story, there is another important character, Mrs. Hubbard.

It was actually Mrs. Armstrong's mother, Linda Arden, an actress.

Mrs. Hubbard admitted the plan.

When the Armstrong case occurred, everyone was devastated and decided to execute the death penalty that Ratchett had escaped.

So the plan was carefully prepared, and Mrs. Hubbard finally pleaded to be able to take the blame alone.

The words are sincere and touching.

Karl was also touched by this kind of crime where the deceased was an evil person and the murderers were all good people.

Basically, everyone who reads it will say that the last sentence is a good death.

Especially since Carl has read the previous article repeatedly recently, his feelings are even more profound.

In the ending of a general detective novel, the murderer will not be let go.

Whether Mrs. Hubbard takes the blame or, more egregiously, all twelve people are arrested, it would be a sad ending in Karl's opinion.

But the last page of the story made Carl's emotions retract, and he felt like a spring breeze.

Poirot asked Mr. Booker for his opinion. Booker believed that Poirot's first inference was correct.

Dr. Constantine also agreed with this view and was even prepared to make some suggestions about medical evidence.

Poirot said at the end that his solution had been explained and he could withdraw from the case with honor.

After uncovering all the truth, the detective decided to let the murderer go.

An extremely rare scene in detective novels.

Coupled with the unexpected truth about all the murderers in "Murder on the Orient Express".

It gave Carl a warm feeling in his heart, as if he saw the bright sunshine shining on the white snow and saw the brilliance of humanity shining.

In an instant, the book "Murder on the Orient Express" rose to a very high level in his mind.
