Chapter 295 spoiler! spoiler!

  Sister Chen is curious.

  She pointed to the paper roll on the fireplace in the miniature model, "You did it too carefully, what is this?"

  Jiang Yang's heart was beating wildly!

  My black silk!

   This is the same as when you cheated, you hid the small note in your hand, and now the invigilator asks you what it is in your hand.

  The watch on Jiang Yang's hand has heart rate monitoring.

  He suspects that it has soared over a hundred now.

Jiang Yang dedicated his life's acting skills to Hei Si, "This is a paper twister, do you see the bottom? This is a fireplace, and you need to use a paper twister to ignite the fire. I do it meticulously, so I can write well. Did you see this purple box, it's more detailed!"

   This box is as big as a matchbox.

  Sister Chen opened it, and there was really everything inside.

   This is a file box, which contains a bunch of documents, including land deeds, house deeds, lease contracts, loan contracts, and other documents—

  A document box the size of a matchbox, why can Sister Chen see so many things clearly?

  Because there is only one piece of paper inside.

  Jiang Yang wrote "land deed, house deed, letter..." on the paper with a pen

   There is also a piece of paper next to it, with "evidence" written on it.

  Sister Chen was convinced, "You are too meticulous!"

"right."

  Jiang Yang thought he was praising himself and was impressed by his handling.

  Sister Chen shook her head.

  She was about to go to work, Jiang Yang looked around, "Where are my tweezers?"

Sister Chen helped him find it, and after searching around, she saw tweezers next to the cardboard pressed by Jiang Yang's hand. It was so silvery that it was easy to see. After pointing it out to him, Sister Chen complained: "Your big eyes are so beautiful. It's pretty, it's grown white."

  Jiang Yang thinks his wife is better.

  He can stare at Li Qingning and say, the night gives me black eyes, and I use them to find light.

   Followed by a long kiss.

  Sister Chen went out.

  Jiang Yang heaved a sigh of relief and startled him, thinking that Sister Chen's mystery novel hadn't been read yet, so she cracked it.

   "The Mysterious Case of Styles Manor" is Grandma's first mystery novel, and it is also the first novel in which Poirot appears. When writing this novel, Grandma never thought it would be so long, so Poirot appears as a little old Belgian who fled to England because of the war. Grandma regretted it later, she should have turned Poirot into a young man if she knew she could write so long.

  There are many characters in this book, whose names are difficult to remember, and many people have criminal motives, and each of them has become the object of suspicion. But if the clues that the grandmother uses to confuse the reader are removed, the whole story becomes simpler.

  ***

The old lady is a stepmother and has two sons. Her husband gave all the inheritance to the old lady. The old lady has a lot of money, and then the old lady has a housekeeper. She has a distant cousin who hooked up with the old lady and got married. Became a little husband.

  It’s fine to have a stepmother, but if you have a stepdad, the two sons will definitely not do it.

  The loyal housekeeper didn’t do it either, saying that the younger husband wanted the old lady’s money, had an argument with the old lady, and left.

Then, one morning when the little husband was not at home, the three doors were locked tightly, and the old lady died of poisoning screaming in the house. Will wait until early morning to relapse.

   Poirot intervened in the investigation at this time.

  There are many confusing evidences,

  For example, the eldest son’s daughter-in-law gave the old lady sleeping pills, so that he could enter the room in the middle of the night, find evidence of her husband’s cheating in the old lady’s purple box, and so on.

  Jiang Yang wrote all of these in the book, so there is no need to mention it again.

  The little husband was suspected first.

  He was accused by the doctor of buying strychnine poison. He said he didn't buy it himself, but refused to say where he bought the poison. It means that you should arrest me quickly, take me away and prosecute, and after the prosecution, I will show an alibi, and then according to the principle of non bis in idem, if you prosecute me once, you can’t prosecute me again for the same crime, and I will be exonerated up-

  But Poirot provided the young husband's alibi, and the young husband was exempted from prosecution.

  His good deed made Poirot bad.

  Actually, on the day of his death, the old lady had a quarrel with the eldest son because the old lady found out that the eldest son was having an affair with the widow next door. She was so angry that she wanted to change the will and give the property to the eldest son to the younger husband. After she wrote the will, she wanted to send it out. There was no stamp in the room, so she went to her little husband's room to look for it, and then found a letter from the little husband to her cousin, the housekeeper.

  It turned out that the young husband and the housekeeper were lovers, and they conspired to kill the old lady to get the inheritance.

   This letter is for the young husband to reassure the housekeeper not to worry, because the old lady did not drink the tonic because of the delay in the matter, and the death date was postponed by one day.

  In the middle of writing this letter, the little husband was interrupted by the old lady asking him to do something.

  The letter was not sent, and the little husband hid it.

So the old lady only read half of it. The letter only said that the old lady was delayed yesterday and did not die, but she didn't write **** the old lady. The old lady was very angry when she read it. The will made in favor of the young husband was burned.

  But the old lady didn't know how the other party killed herself.

  She was so angry that she went to bed early and drank the tonic with only one mouthful left.

  This tonic originally contained strychnine, but then the housekeeper dropped the bromide, causing most of the strychnine to crystallize and settle at the bottom.

  The old lady drank the strychnine in one gulp and overdosed. Then, when she was arguing with her eldest son, the eldest daughter-in-law heard it. In order to find evidence of cheating in the middle of the night, the eldest daughter-in-law gave the old lady sleeping pills. The old lady was delayed until the early morning due to sleeping pill poisoning.

  Motivation is just such a motivation.

  If there weren't so many confusing clues and motives, this case would be quite simple.

   Many people may guess that the little husband is the murderer after reading the book.

   But Grandma is very good at misleading people.

   During the process of confirmation, whitewashing, and reconfirmation, many people may give up their initial doubts. Then the housekeeper and the little husband have been confronting each other, and the housekeeper has been clamoring to take the little husband away, so it is easy for people to fall into misunderstandings.

   There is another point that surprised Jiang Yang. Grandma has always portrayed Poirot as an obsessive-compulsive disorder.

  When Jiang Yang first read it, he thought it was to establish Poirot's personal image, but who knew that this later became the key point in solving the case, that is, the old lady put half of the letter written by her husband in the purple file box. After her death, because the contents of the file box were very important, Poirot didn't look at the contents. He locked the box in a gentlemanly manner, and planned to read it when the lawyer came.

  As an obsessive-compulsive disorder, he also tidied up the ornaments on the fireplace.

In order to get rid of the suspicion, the little husband sneaked into the room and pried the box to get the letter. When he was about to destroy it, he heard the voice of Poirot and the others coming, so he tore the letter into paper and put it on the fireplace. In a bottle with paper twist.

   When Poirot came in, he found that the box had been pried. He was very angry. The angry little old man rearranged the ornaments on the fireplace again.

   At the back, Poirot still could not find any direct evidence.

   At this moment, the role of wingman came into play, and Hastings inadvertently mentioned that Poirot sorted out the things on the fireplace twice.

  For a person with obsessive-compulsive disorder, he tidied it up once and sealed the scene. If no one touched it, he would not tidy it up again, so Poirot immediately understood that the ornament was touched by someone!

   Then Poirot found the letter, which directly proved that the young husband and the housekeeper were the murderers.

  As Grandma’s debut novel, this is the shortcoming of this book—

this letter.

   Not to mention why I wrote it, after I got the letter, I even ate it.

  Jiang Yang has the urge to write that his little husband has a cleanliness habit, so he doesn't eat paper and helps Yuan Yiyuan.

  But he doesn't know whether the clean freak keeps a beard or not.

  The beard will be written off again, so the housekeeper can no longer pretend to be her husband to buy medicine.

  Jiang Yang thought about it, let's keep it as it was originally. .

  In case this stationery is hard to eat.

  Maybe the little husband didn't expect it in a moment of panic. After all, the murderous idea was thought up by the housekeeper.

  Grandma explained it well in the book.

However, there is another point, that is, if readers want to follow the reasoning, they must know the principle of poison and the law of non bis in idem, so this novel is a novel that shows the queen's reasoning skills of the grandmother, but the reversal makes Jiang Yang's tangled novel.

   It can be regarded as Poirot's quite satisfactory debut.

   This is also the reason why Jiang Yang saw Sister Chen holding the paper roll just now.

   That's the answer the Great Demon King is looking for.

   I briefly summarized it myself, and I will no longer involve the number of characters in the plot of the book.
