-the title, the person who signed Lionel Twine, may be a woman. TA painted nail polish and spoke like a female voice. TA created such a bureau, invited five detectives to gather, and the blindly crutches the butler asked her: Are you sure they will all come, sir? TA said, it will come.
——This shows that the butler knows who has been invited. He is involved in this plan. And Twine determined that they had a motive to come.
——As mentioned later, in addition to being detective lovers, the invited people are very familiar with Twine and have the motive to kill him. So Twine is sure that they will come. For one thing, they know that Twine likes to play some mysterious detective games. They have tried many tricks and are friends. Secondly, Twine used something to threaten them that they must come to the appointment, that is, the murder of those people. For those people, this might be a feast.
——It is possible that the two reasons coexist, but I think the latter has a larger component. This is a Hongmen Banquet.
——Twine and the butler jointly set up this round. Is it because the intention to kill is to attack those who want to kill him first? Obviously not, because he actually had a lot of opportunities to kill them cleanly, but in the end the detectives all survived.
——I think it is very possible (1) He was to warn them that he knew their motives for killing him, and gave them a reason to give up. (2) He wants them to be convinced that he is dead. Escape from your current identity.
——The butler is not necessarily really blind, but he is really blind in front of Twine. (I'm already blind) The stamp was sent without it, indicating that the butler wanted Twine to confirm that he was really blind. Twine should have sent the invitation letter himself.
——The place where the black gloves appear indicates that this is part of the game. He wrote a pen note, and the font should be the previous Twine. There are more than ten lines.
——Twine made some small details while waiting for them to arrive, such as cutting the phone line. Let the screws on the door squeeze a little, and remove the hands of the clock (at six ten ten). Estimated to create an atmosphere. Stone statues are thrown at the door, these are all to create an atmosphere.
2. The most critical clue is actually the
2.1 appearance brought out by various detectives :
English gentleman couple, Dick Charleston, with a dog, drinking red wine.
Belgian Pierre, Moustache (Poirot), foodie, with a driver.
The old Chinese Wang (he is Twine's adopted son) and his Japanese son (obviously ignorant of Twine, and don't know the relationship between his father and his grandfather Twine).
The tough guy Sam and his sexy secretary. Their conversation is more
predictable : Secretary: This time, there are many bad things and bad luck.
Sam: This trip is a business.
The secretary did an investigation, and she said that she had written a letter and learned about the owner, Twine. (In fact, I know later that she knows her master's family well, because she is a niece, so she doesn't need to write to investigate.)
Secretary: Twine was born in San Francisco in 1906. Twine's father is Catholic and Twine's mother is Orthodox Jew. They got divorced after two hours of marriage. Twine has a 32-year-old daughter named Irain, she calls herself Rita. In 1932, at the age of 26, Twine was arrested in Chicago for buying pornographic bibles, but the church refused to hand over the bibles and failed to file a case. Arrested in Texas in 1946 and transported wealthy white men to Mexico to collect watermelons. He was sent to the hospital in Dallas to be checked for mental illness. The most important thing is that he has a physical defect. There is no little finger, but he has ten fingers.
——Here is some meaningful information. This is a 1946 movie, which means that Twine should be only 40 years old. But in the film, he is said to be a little over 70, although he looks young. He has a 32-year-old daughter? The possible reason is that the story told did not take place in 1946. In other words, it is not really a daughter, but a code name, just like an adopted child. Is an important figure in the organization.
——Twine has a religious background. His true identity may be the leader of an organization. The government noticed him, but he was helpless. The pornographic bible, rich white people steal these absurd things, there is a non-absurd truth behind it, and Twine is responsible for this mysterious organization.
——The secretary said this seriously, and Sam listened seriously, because they all knew what the code names just said. It is possible that they are a member of the organization, or have a good understanding of the organization, to investigate Twine. Sam said that the person they met this time was a strange bird.
——Sam said there was no oil, and asked the secretary to cheer. The secretary showed a meaningful look. She should be going to perform some task.
When crossing the bridge, Pharaoh was very wary of his adoptive father Twine. It is possible that he is not really Twine's adopted son. He doesn't look like a Chinese, Twine also suddenly realized that he was an East Asian and drove him out one day after he became an adult. This is illogical. The truth may be that Pharaoh was a capable member of Twine, but was later driven out by discovering that he was cooperating with East Asian forces. The role of Japanese adopted children is obviously not a son, but a Dirty Work such as cleaning the corpse.
2.2.
As the "adopted son", the old Wang in the house is also very familiar with Twine's house. He comes prepared for the doorbell and the throwing of the statue. It was the Japanese boy who was scared.
Lao Wang introduced himself as a policeman.
But this house has changed a bit because he was driven away. For example, windows that look like rain in the house, mobile kitchens. These can be interpreted as mechanical or high-tech. Twine may have mastered a technology that has panicked the world, that is, space transfer. Twine invites everyone to come and explain to them: I already know your motives. I will show you that I have done what I want to do. You can't kill me. If you know, don't intervene in my affairs anymore.
The butler closes the wrong side of the door. It can be considered that the space shift makes the door sometimes open to the left and sometimes to the right. ——I think the end here indicates that the butler may be really blind.
Twine asks a blind butler, there should be a reason to ask. What the blind may see makes the space transfer technology feasible.
Twine wears black gloves to sweep the stone lion residue outside the door.
The blind housekeeper did not know the adopted son, indicating that it was later. He is critical to Twine. Lao Wang was surprised that only the blind housekeeper was the only one who worked for Twine. He realized that the organization had changed a lot from when he was there.
Lao Wang told his adopted son that the less the housekeeper knows, the less money he needs.
Twine gave Lao Wang a message and set fire to the bed. A message for English gentlemen and couples. Mrs. Twine murdered herself in her dream. There was flour and sugar in her room.
2.3 The cook
girl The cook girl is the last woman who laughs wildly. Guess that she is a daughter.
She told the housekeeper her identity by means of a code, but the housekeeper was blind and didn't know who he was. Or the butler pretends to be blind. He touched her face.
In fact, she should be able to read and write.
The steward said: Dinner at nine, recipes, three bells, go to work.
The cook snapped her fingers, indicating that she knew the butler could not see, and obviously she could hear, so she would snap her fingers to the butler. The butler didn't know that it was obvious that she was pretending to be a deaf and mute.
Well, I really can't go on, this is an anti-detective comedy, just for complaining, you lose if you are serious.
