Murder on the Orient Express

The representative works of Agatha, the Queen of Reasoning, I read some of her works in college, but now I can't remember most of them. Not long ago, "East Express" was released again, and I was too lazy to climb to the cinema, so I relived the classics with this shareholder style.

I don't know whether to be happy or regretful. Although I have read the original book before, I have forgotten the general plot. When I rewatched it, I was still attracted by the plot. Disorganized clues, travelers with different identities and personalities, and the Armstrong family were vaguely connected, until the truth finally surfaced and suddenly became clear.

The acting skills of Colonel Armstrong's mother-in-law really broke the table. Was the mother in "The Invisible Guest" taken from here? Is Conan's mother Yukiko's character also related to her? It was really hard for 12 people to play a play for Poirot.

The British jury system is where 12 people discuss and convict a prisoner, as shown in Twelve Angry Men. There were exactly 12 people in this car, excluding Poirot and the guy who was killed. 12 people joined forces to sanction the mastermind behind the tragedy of the Armstrong family of five. Is it another trial?

Although from the moral and emotional level, this kind of behavior can be understood and sympathetic, and if I put myself in my shoes, maybe I will also participate in it, but I still think that people have no right to put other people to death, only to put them into practice. An objective law requires a serious system to judge another person.

Today, I happened to see such a statement on Zhihu. The law without moral participation is not a compliment anyway. Many feudal societies represented by the Ming Dynasty had imperfect laws, and most of them advocated moral participation in the law. . Moreover, the trial was more dependent on the individual judge. For example, Hai Rui highly respected him, preferring his younger brother to be his brother, and his son to protect his father. That is to say, in a case, if it is unclear who is at fault, the father and the son, the traditional virtue of respecting the elderly must be upheld, and the younger generation must be wronged. This kind of moral participation in the law is difficult for me to accept. The law has its strength only if it is as fair as possible.

Occasionally feel the cold, the body is slightly ill. The legal topic reading that was originally planned has also been pulled down, and I will take time to discuss it again.
