At the beginning of the story, it tells about the murder of a little girl and a family, which makes people guess that the later story is related to this,
and then all the protagonists take the Orient Express. The detective interrogates the guests on the train one by one and finally announces the answer.
Although there are many foreshadowings in the plot, all the final answers are based on the detective's restoration or guessing that the foreshadowing in the play is also more obvious.
The actor's behavior in 1974 is also exaggerated. Many people have problems at first sight. The
reverse is that 12 people are all murderers and the final judgment is to fabricate a strange murderer.
There are many doubts in the play, such as how to use a burnt note to kill. Judged to be the murderer of the Armstrong family a few years ago? Questions answered under each person's identity? Buttons on clothes? Smell of smoke? pipe? The time of death implied by the watch (I think it is the most exciting place in the whole play, but it is too ordinary to reveal) Why suddenly show the dagger?
At the beginning, it was said that the evidence was too complicated, and it also implied that multiple people conspired to make
a doctor say 12 knives? Also suggest that men and women conspire? Can't we not mention the number 12? And the 12-jury system in the back? How did the threatening letter see the spelling of 12 people? The conductor of the train is clearly going to collude with the murder, why does he have to let his friend detective get on the train?
conductor, friend of General Armstrong, his driver, mother of Mrs. Armstrong, godmother, sister and brother-in-law of Mrs. Armstrong, teacher (believer) of Armstrong's daughter, another servant of Armstrong's family who was bound, husband of deceased servant, Father, conductor and doctor.
In short. A case carefully planned by 12 people is no match for the intelligence of a detective. The 12 people's various ways of creating illusions also appear to be relatively low-level.
