The plot is not very serious

It's not wise to kill someone in such a confined space. There were less than 20 guests on board, and everyone lived next to each other, sharing a corridor, and there were many employees who came and went. The murderer just stopped by in the corridor to kill people, running around, and it felt easy to be seen. Sure enough, when she killed the heroine, she was seen by the maid; when she killed the maid, she was seen by the novelist... When the heroine was playing in a remote place, the murderer fired a shot in the dark, or made some accidents. .

Some of the plot is a bit far-fetched. When Simon and Jakie had a conflict, there should not be too many witnesses. If there were too many witnesses, someone would stay to take care of Simon. Everyone soon invited the doctor, and Simon would have no way to kill. There is no elaborate design here, and there are only two witnesses on the spot in the end.

Simon's leg was seriously injured, and it felt a little strange that everyone would take care of Jakie instead of taking care of him first. There are obviously two witnesses, the male witness can take care of Jakie alone, and the female witness can take care of Simon or call a doctor immediately (it can shorten the time). What if the two witnesses took the gun on the spot and the murderer had no gun?

The gunfire was so loud that everyone was not at all curious. No one came to watch the fun, and neither did the employees on the ship. Under normal circumstances, if someone came over, it would be difficult for Simon to go out and kill.

The murderer was too stupid to leave behind a lot of evidence.

The killer has an alibi. Why didn't they frame innocent people?
