"Perfect Murder"

Since I watched "Phone Murder" first, when Braden was complacent about the perfect murder, he had a hunch that there would be various uncertainties in reality, and there would never be a novel seamlessness. In "Telephone Murder", we know the murderer in advance, and then look at the murderer's calm response and the sheriff's reasoning layout. In "Reaper of Souls", the murderer is known in advance, and under the concept of his own superiority, you can see him cleverly trying to arrange the reconciliation of his broken-up friends, showing his murder results in a majestic manner, talking about what he considers superior and is in the process of reconciliation. The concept of implementation, and even thought it was a great joke to send the Reaper cord wrapping book to the father of the victim. All of his actions were made even more chilling when we knew what he did and what he believed in, and we didn't even dare to think if David's parents and girlfriends knew about it and then think back on whether this party can be bearable. Rupert said he thought the world and people were so dark, so he took a different approach. But his logical span is too big, jumping directly to a social system with absolute justice and advanced wisdom. He is optimistic about such a perfect society and applauds his own wisdom, so he confidently and humorously promotes this concept in party debates. But the real death in the book box made him realize that no one can stand on a high place to decide the life and death of others. This theory is absurd in reality. Rupert only shot at the air at the end, and even knowing the truth he was not qualified to kill the murderer. There are two places that impressed me a lot. One was when the kitchen door swayed and he saw Brendan throwing the Reaper Rope into the drawer. The second is accompanied by the chatter, staring at the maid to pick up the dining table and bookbox, so nervous that he didn't pay attention to what they were talking about.
