I didn't feel very amazing just after watching this play, at least the play did not give why the judge knew the crime facts of the other nine people, and he knew it so definitely. Of course, it can also be regarded as a space left to the audience's imagination.
It is understandable that the judge can kill other people, poison, and take advantage of familiar terrain to make a surprise attack.
There is a reason why the judge tricked the remaining three (yes, the remaining three, Vera, the mercenary, and the police instead of four) by feigning death. The judge took advantage of the doctor's trust. I still remember that in the previous story, the doctor took the initiative to tell the judge that he trusted him. The two secretly formed an alliance to find the murderer. It was the murderer and he said that he suspected that the Owens were among them and asked the doctor to observe him after his fake death. He also made an appointment with the doctor to meet at the seaside cliff in the middle of the night, and then used the hidden internal organs to make up fake death. The doctor was responsible for examining the "corpse" and cheating. The other three said they were indeed dead, so the doctor took the initiative to wrap "the judge's bullet through the head" with his own clothes. Although the mercenary suggested not to use the clothes, he went to find something else to wrap it. From the results, it can be inferred that the doctor was responsible for the wrapping, so the other three believed that the judge was dead. The doctor slipped out to meet the judge in the middle of the night and was pushed off a cliff by the judge. The judge took a knife and hid it in the study and put on a bear skin to kill the police by surprise. In the end, Vera and the mercenary were left, because the mercenary was the most rational and believed that Vera was not the murderer, and the murderer had been hiding on the island, so in the end It can only be Vera who killed the mercenary. Vera suspects the mercenary is also justified because the killing gun finally appeared, and the mercenary and the police went out to find the doctor in the middle of the night. Bing told Vera not to follow him back to the police, but the police were also dead, and there were only the two of them left. Vera remembered the poem and saw the gun and took it away with a plan, although she believed it at the last moment. The mercenary, but after the mercenary approached, he tried to grab the gun instead of patiently persuading him, so he shot without hesitation. As for Vera hanging up in the end, it is probably the psychological hint that she saw the hook many times before. Would the judge help her even if she didn't hang herself?
