justice or law

For one thing, the ending of Murder on the Orient Train left me speechless. While watching and drawing a mind map, I couldn't figure out who the murderer was. At the end, I was shocked and sighed. Twelve people of different identities, different statuses and different countries were bound together because of the same kidnapping case. The deceased was a criminal. Are these twelve people just judges or transgressors of the law? Although in love I think there is more than death, but in law it is still murder, how does justice and law balance.

Assuming that the plot is realistic, it is absolutely impossible for the twelve people to escape the punishment of the law. Only in places where the law cannot reach, will there be such a silent sentence, so that the twelve people can be relieved of their souls.

I hope that in the society we live in, let the light of the law shine in every dark corner, instead of being a light that illuminates some people and a fire that burns others.
