There is too much logic, sorry, a little disappointed.

It's okay, maybe the expectations are a bit high, not as good as expected. Said to pay tribute to the grandmother, but in fact it is just a formal tribute. The style is very lacking in the elements of Agatha's novels that are step by step and tense and breathless. The overall logic has many flaws, such as 1. The first point: There are indeed contradictions between the father and the children, but most of them are a little bit angry, or a little deceived some money, or there are some contradictions between the husband and wife that most couples have, and they are not enough to constitute a father. Don’t leave a penny to your children. Even the house they grew up on, the company and the job they depended on must be given away to others. This has to be a lot of hatred. In the same way, a company that relies on his father’s company. The work is not good, or the children who want to deceive even a little money, really don’t see any guts to murder their father with such a cruel method of cutting their throats-this is the core of the creation of grandma's usual." Everyone has sufficient motives to commit crimes" is a far cry. 2. The second point: The father has no grudges with his children, but a little disappointed. His little caregiver is still very young. It is said that he has not been taken care of for a few years. The father looks normal, not weird, not paranoid, and nothing special. The reason, why is the relationship deep enough to leave all the property to the little care? Even the house where your children and grandchildren grew up, the job, and even the tuition fees? Besides, the old man seems to have no problem with the eldest daughter. They have always had their own secret exchanges. That granddaughter is also good and kind. Is there any reason to make them so unacceptable after her death? And the housekeeper, who stayed with the old man for a long time, she was a good one, and she didn't even mention it in the will. To make such a decision is neither impersonal nor reasonable; 3. The third point is that the old man thought he was going to die, even if he had to take off the responsibility of the little nursing, he shouldn’t use the extremely cruel method of death like "cutting the throat". This is too much like murder, especially in front of the little nursing. Spitting blood, you can't bear this without the will of special forces, aren't you afraid to scare her out of mental illness? Choosing to cut the wrist would be more like suicide. If you want to take her out, it would be more useful to leave a small note similar to a suicide note, right? ? 4. And the most important point: The old man thinks he will die if he takes the wrong medicine. Even if he wants to pretend to commit suicide, according to his mind in writing detective novels, don't you know that there will be an autopsy? The person who is most likely to take the wrong medicine is the assistant. According to the Xiaobai's personality of the nurse and the skill of being unable to lie, he will recruit everything if he is interrogated at random? ? ? (See how she easily confessed to her grandson who is also very suspicious of her urinary sex) What is the purpose of all these arrangements? Please, as a grandmother for many years, I can accept that the detected cases are not so amazing, and I also like small details that are a little funny, but I can't accept such a noisy plot.
