1. The previous situation suggests that Poirot went to the closed island for two reasons: ① Mrs. Alice Lubo's corpse wilderness. The case dragged on for four months without progress. ②The insurance company verifies that the diamond sent by Sir Hollers is fake. According to him, the diamond may be dropped by the actress. 2. People at the scene of the Kojima murder: Alina-dead, actress, romantic, bitter Kenneth-Alina's husband, swallowed Linda-Alina's stepdaughter, and Alina Doesn’t fit with Daphne, the hotel owner, Alena’s old acquaintance, and has a close relationship with Kenneth. Rex, a writer, wrote a biography about Alena, but Alena did not agree to publish Odell—— The producer, recently wanted to invite Alena to star in Myra for a play-producer, Odell's wife Patrick-handsome and romantic, Alena's lover Christina-Patrick's wife, frail and sickly 1. Before boarding the ship, Poirot met Patrick and his wife and discovered that Patrick had an affair with a woman wearing a ruby ​​bracelet. (At the reception, this bracelet was worn by Alena.) 2. When Poirot and Alena went to the island by boat, they heard the sound of cannons. According to Kenneth, three years ago, after his ex-wife died of illness, he came to live here. Salutes will be fired on the island every day at 12 o'clock to commemorate the victory of the war. 3. At the cocktail party, writers and filmmakers succumbed to Alena, taking Kenneth as air, and even Alena did not respect her husband. But privately, the producers called Alena a vixen, and they had fought a lawsuit before and lost a lot of money. 4. Kenneth, Linda, Daphne, the producer, and Poirot all witnessed Patrick and Alena rowing and disappearing behind the island. 5. Poirot happened to meet Christina hiding in the garden and crying. She knew her husband was unfaithful. 6. Daphne told Kenneth the truth: Alena was cruel to Linda, and she asked Patrick to come to the island. Advise him to divorce. 7. The producer broke up with Alena and felt resentment; Patrick and Christina quarreled. His wife accused her husband of staying with Alena, causing her to be laughed at. 8. Poirot witnessed Alena going out to sea alone and disappearing behind the island. 9. Linda and Christina meet to go to the beach to paint; Dafanie is hanging out on the island alone; Odell follows Linda, etc.; Christina will be back at 12 o'clock, and Dafanie 12: 30 times. 10. Myra asked Patrick to take her to play. When they found Alena, Patrick only shook her hand and claimed that Alena was strangled to death. After that, Myra went back to report. 4. Analysis of many motives for killing: Kenneth, Linda, Daphne, Rex, producer, Patrick, Christina, Hollers. Almost all guests in the hotel are suspected. Alina was killed around 11:30-12. Patrick and Myra found the body at about 12 o'clock, and Horace’s boat was found on the way. Linda and Christina met to go to the beach to paint, and Christina left at about 11:55. Coincidentally, Rex and Di Fanny invited Linda together. Rex also had no alibi. Kenneth and Di Fanny all proved that. Although Di Fanny claimed to pass Kenneth's room at about 11 o'clock, she saw Kenneth typing through the mirror. After Poirot's analysis, Di Fanny was lying. Di Fanny witnessed the quarrel between Horace and Alena, so Di Fanny was not the murderer. Patrick is currently the most suspicious, because when "Alena" was found dead, he was alone, and he was strangled to death without checking, and then he stayed alone with the "corpse". (Perhaps she was not dead when Alena was first discovered) The plots of Kojima's murder are connected one by one, but Christina's strategy to help her husband conceal it is really unexpected: mobilize Linda's clock to advance the time After 20 minutes, he took the opportunity to transfer back and designed an alibi for himself. The handwriting left by the murderer before leaving the hotel leaked the secrets. The last two cases are connected in series, which belongs to the author's prerogative. The diamond is hidden in the pipe, which is also unpredictable. Agatha's detective story is really interesting: the murderers are so polite, sitting there waiting for Poirot to analyze and reason, they are really gentleman-like murderers. This is probably the characteristic of traditional reasoning. At 55, Christina left. Coincidentally, Rex and Di Fanny invited Linda together. Rex also had no alibi. Kenneth and Di Fanny all proved that. Although Di Fanny claimed to pass Kenneth's room at about 11 o'clock, she saw Kenneth typing through the mirror. After Poirot's analysis, Di Fanny was lying.

Kenneth and Da Fanny have all been present to prove. Although Di Fanny claimed to pass Kenneth's room at about 11 o'clock, she saw Kenneth typing through the mirror.
