Under the sun, I just laughed and watched you all cry

No one knows why they died, we all become gods outside. ——Inscription



This is the first time I came into contact with Grandma's works. When I was young, I was immersed in the suspenseful world of Conan Doyle and refused to extricate myself. I felt that Sherlock Holmes held the world's answers in his hand. My grandmother told me in "No One Survives" that some things have no answer until death.

The governess, the detective, the judge, the doctor, the nun, the playboy, the captain, and the general, eight people, gathered together by eight different letters, came to the island, and received only the butler and the maid. During dinner, a gramophone sounded, charging the eight guests and both the housekeeper and the maid with murder. When everyone panicked, they could not stop dinner, and found a strange nursery rhyme written on the wall in the house.

Ten little Indian boys ran for food; one could not be saved from choking, and only nine of the ten were left.
Nine Indian little boys were really sleepy late at night; they fell asleep and died, and only eight of the nine were left.
Eight little Indian boys went hunting in Devon City; one was left to go west, and only seven of the eight remained.
Seven little Indian boys, felling trees and branches were not easy; the axe split in half and died, and the seven were only six.
Six little Indian boys, playing with the hive to provoke the bees; they stung and died, and there were only five of the six.
Five little Indian boys who caused trouble and brought a lawsuit; the lawsuit was entangled until they died, and only four of the five remained.
Four little Indian boys went out to sea in a group and suffered a great disaster; the fish swallowed a bloody one, leaving only three of the four.
Three little Indian boys suffer disaster in the zoo; a bear suddenly falls from the sky, leaving only two of the three.
Two little Indian boys, sighing in the sun; sunburned and roasted to death, only one of the two.
A little Indian boy, only one person came back; Xuanliang committed suicide, and there is no one left.

Meanwhile, there are ten little china figures on the dining table. Next, ten people died according to the content of the nursery rhyme, and the little porcelain people also decreased one by one, until the last tutor couldn't bear the pressure brought by the fear of being close to death and wanted to hang himself. Only then did he discover that the judge who had been "dead" was still alive, and he was the real mastermind behind the scenes. At the end of his life, the judge who died soon still enjoyed the psychological pleasure of watching people's tragic deaths.

In fact, the judge's killing game is not an accidental ending, ten people's island, ten charges. When others are still evading and repenting for their past mistakes and guilt, only the judge remains calm, and in this, he is not shy about the crimes he is accused of. Even when the bloodthirsty judge was seriously ill and approaching the end of his life, he still enjoyed the pleasure of killing. However, it is this kind of honesty and truth that he is also trusted by everyone. Maybe that's it, the real villain just walked into the blind spot of stupidity, not because of not being forgiven.

The first time I came into contact with Grandma's works, I received a lot of surprises. Originally, I have always had some "prejudice" against the works of female writers, because no matter what kind of genre, female writers can't help but have feelings and thoughts, and rarely see pure good and evil. Even if sin is inevitable, we don't have to search for the truth.

There are still some differences between the British drama and the original books. The drama shows more about the characters than the plot. There is no clear explanation for the death of one character after another, however, we still have to notice some memorable moments.


On the letters to the guests, the judge's letter only had a shortened address and did not state the reason for the invitation.


There are many close-ups of cups in the drama, and it is conceivable that Kuo Shao was poisoned to death.


The animal body in the female teacher's room hides the next method of death.


At the time of the death of the general, Mr. Rogers and the nun, there are very few shots of the judge. If anyone doubts him at this time, in fact, the next person to set the death is himself, and then the suspicion can be ruled out.

Stupid is just something you don't know. This is a psychological battle between insiders and outsiders. Outsiders, we are watching the realization of psychological prophecy step by step, while they are still performing stupid suspicions and fears. The judge chose to commit suicide after killing the governess, leaving that smile when he looked up. In the end, he still followed his heart.

There is nothing new under the sun. Every corner of the world, every moment is replicating the same sadness. Although few surprises, but hidden surprises. At least from this one, grandma, I have a crush on you!
