Doubts about the tragedy on the Nile

First of all, I saw this movie when I was in kindergarten. It can be said to be the earliest enlightenment of intellectual development. When I was young, I had a small 14-inch color TV at home, which was my mother’s dowry. During summer vacation, Shanghai TV would occasionally show it in the afternoon. Looking at this movie, when I was young, I was able to sort out the case. My father was in the cinema when he saw it for the first time. He recalled telling me that he didn't understand. The first time he saw it, he thought Fat Polo was the murderer because he likes to be suspicious. The time my dad watched, if I remember correctly, should be around 83. Minzhi hasn’t opened up, and he won’t be preconceived because he has heard Polo or watched too many detective dramas. Another reason is that the big detective in this film is a Belgian man who likes to eavesdrop and suspects that anyone is irresponsible. Suspecting him is actually normal.
The facts of the case are not in the narrative. I believe everyone is familiar with it. I just have a few questions left over from my childhood. First, why did the two murderers die in love? At that time, they had guns in their hands and they could kill Polo and the colonel, and then hijack the ship to land. It was a good idea to escape to the United States in those days. Even if you can’t go to the United States, go Mexico or other countries, the big brother in prison knows things, don’t the people who planned this murder don’t know? I think martyrdom is the worst policy. In China’s universal values, survival is the best policy. , So I can't understand. Second, when the pornographic novelist Mrs. Otterborn was about to announce the murderer in Simon’s room, if I were Miss JACKY, I would choose to kill Polo. Obviously, his threat was relatively high, and maybe he could do it twice. Shot, killed Polo and Mrs. Otterborn, and there was not enough time. Then, why shoot and kill only the pornographic female novelist! Isn't the Polo the biggest danger? The colonel did not solve the case at all. ability.
This question brought a great shadow to my childhood, and it made me unable to sleep well and eat well. I tried to persuade myself with humanity and morality. Is that what Westerners call, demeanor? Or is it the fate of the Chinese? So if you think of a way to kill people, you should have given up these things. Why bother about Polo’s life? If you want to say you can’t kill innocent people, what about Mrs. Otterburn and the maid played by Jane Bojin, All are innocent. I think the personnel who planned the whole case should be someone who has a certain degree of thick black studies. In the end, he could only explain that the old lady had put an invincible shield on Polo.


Postscript---Recently I read Jin Yong's "Book and Sword Encounter Records". The three demons in Guanzhong have different personalities, and their final endings are also different. Reminiscent of this movie, the ending of each character is indeed the author's. Arrange deliberately.

    Because the new version ran to brush, the murderer and the way of committing the crime are very easy to guess - the foreshadowing is very complete, but the detective himself has gone into a misunderstanding this time; but it is rare that he is still attracted by the movie in such a situation without suspense, and As a group movie, the audience can clearly understand the identity of each character in a short period of time. PS Telling stories with character dialogues actually tests the audience, but it is also more interesting and intriguing than letting the "murderer" confess every time.
