Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 97

The book "Murder on the Orient Express" is not too long, and the plot of the whole story is not very complicated. After Chapter 8, the first part is considered to be over.

In the first part, readers seem to see nothing, only know that there are people from various places in the Orient Express, and some careful readers will write down all the people mentioned in the book.

There are sixteen people in total, except for the dead Ratchett, there are still fifteen people left. According to the description in the book, readers can be sure that Poirot is not the murderer. As for the others, they really have no way to be sure. .

Will people still die?
Most readers have read another crime mystery novel "Ten Little Indian Boys" written by a fifth-grade vegetative person, so after Ratchett's death, the first thought that popped into the minds of these readers is, will people still die?
Will this book die like the last one?

There is no way for the train to move forward, so the current situation is probably similar to an isolated island.

Although the story development in the first eight chapters is relatively small, some details have been noticed by readers.

For example, in Chapter 1, Mary was a little too manic when she learned that the train might not reach her destination in time, and she might miss the Orient Express.

It is understandable that she became anxious after missing the train, but when it was mentioned later that the Orient Express would also be delayed, her performance was different from last time.

This is doubtful, obviously for her, the most important thing is to set foot on this Orient Express.

Why is she in such a hurry to board this bus?Because she had something to do with Ratchett's death?

Somewhat suspicious, but not sure.

After reading Chapter 8, Luo Wei sighed irritably. This chapter is like squeezing toothpaste, which makes people feel too uncomfortable to read.

He also wanted to save the update and watch it together, but he couldn't do it at all. Every eleven o'clock, he would stand in front of the computer and wait for the update.

"Short and weak!"

Luo Wei complained, and when he was about to turn off the computer and go to sleep, a message popped up in the upper right corner of the page.

Update news?

Luo Wei hurriedly sat back on the chair, unable to believe that the latest update was opened.

Sure enough, another chapter.

"It's not that the vegetative person is slipping and posting another chapter, hehe, I made a profit."

The story came to the second part. Because of Ratchett's death, Poirot and the others formed an interrogation court of only three people, and they will interrogate other people on the train.

Chapter 1 of the second part is the interrogation of the conductor. It is very brief. Poirot gets a clue that a lady wearing a red dress embroidered with dragons went to the bathroom at night.

"It's over again."

Luo Wei was in a good mood, earning at least one chapter, but when he was about to go to bed again, the update message in the upper right corner popped up again.

"It's coming again? Hand slipping again? Don't worry about it, just look at it and earn money."

Chapter 2, Interrogation Secretary.

Chapter 3, Interrogation of the servant.

Chapter 4, interrogation of the old American lady.

Chapter 5, Interrogation of Mrs. Sweden.

……

The second part has been updated with twelve chapters in a row. Luo Wei read it very well, but he also looked confused. What's wrong with this? Could it be that there is something wrong with the computer of the fifth grade vegetative person?

Will there be more?
It's already past twelve o'clock, and a chapter is basically updated every few minutes.

However, Luo Wei waited for half an hour, but there was no movement at all.

It seemed that there was only so much tonight.

By this time, he was actually lying on the bed.

But he couldn't sleep. After all the people were interrogated, Poirot found that more than two people gave alibi for these people, and the old lady next door to the deceased kept emphasizing that the criminal escaped through her box. Then it proves that there are women in red nightgowns and strangers dressed as train conductors haunting the train.

According to the testimonies of these people, the murderer should be a stranger who got on the train in disguise and killed Ratchett before leaving.

But such an inference is unreasonable and has some loopholes.

The update of this book stops here.

"The author is really bad enough. After scratching an itch, he stopped scratching. He was so anxious to death."

……

The next day, many people woke up to find that the thirteen chapters were suddenly updated last night.

The development of the story suddenly became tense with this wave of updates, and the previously bland case became confusing. I thought it was an ordinary murder case, but it became unusual because of the testimony of these twelve people.

None of these people was the murderer, and they all had alibi.

……

Zhang Zhong got up to wash up as usual, and then had breakfast with Pengpeng.

While having breakfast, Fang Xingkai called, his tone sounded urgent.

Of course, if he wasn't in a hurry, he wouldn't have called after eight o'clock.

"Mr. Zhang, is it convenient to talk now?"

Zhang Zhong peeled an egg and sent it to Pengpeng, and said into the phone, "Fang, I'm a little busy right now. If possible, I'll call you back when I'm free."

Fang Xingkai paused for a moment, and then said: "Well, Mr. Zhang, you are busy first, I will wait for your call."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Zhong clapped his hands and said to Pengpeng, "Hurry up and eat, or you will be late."

Seeing Pengpeng eating faster, Zhang Zhong thought about Fang Xingkai's affairs again.

Of course he wasn't busy, and he also knew what Fang Xingkai was going to talk about.It's just that he doesn't need to follow Fang Xingkai's pace, he just needs to make them anxious.

After sending Pengpeng to school, Zhang Zhong walked around the park before calling Fang Xingkai back.

"Hey, Teacher Fang, are you busy?"

Zhang Zhong smiled and said, "Is there any urgent matter for Editor Fang early in the morning?"

"Mr. Zhang, I'm here to announce the good news to you." Fang Xingkai said.

Zhang Zhong pretended to be stupid and said in a daze, "Oh, where does the joy come from?"

"It's like this. Yesterday evening, Huayi Entertainment Company...do you know this company, Mr. Zhang?"

"heard about it."

"Well, Huayi Entertainment contacted us last night for your "Ten Little Indian Boys", they are going to adapt this novel into a movie, who do you think will direct this movie? "

"Wen Jinjiang?"

"Yes! That's right - hey, Mr. Zhang, how do you know?" Fang Xingkai almost didn't realize it. He wanted to see how Zhang Zhong would react when he heard the news, but he didn't expect him to guess it right away.

"I already knew this yesterday." Zhang Zhong smiled, "Is there another piece of good news?"

Fang Xingkai on the other end of the phone swallowed, how did he feel what he was going to say, how did Zhang Zhong know everything.
