Chapter 488 So I Dug a Hole a Long Time Ago
Chapter 488 So I dug a hole a long time ago
Yes, everyone has reacted!
Among the cases solved by Poirot, it is the most famous and most talked about by readers——
It's Murder on the Orient Express!
In Murder on the Orient Express, Poirot chooses to let the murderer go.
Because the law cannot sanction the murderer who is at large, a group of people took up the butcher's knife and killed the murderer with a shocking partnership.
Use violence to control violence!
After Poirot found out the truth, he hesitated for a long time, but in the end he did not report this group of people.
The way Poirot handled it at the time caused controversy.
But in "The Curtain", another murderer who cannot be sanctioned by the law appeared.
The murderer used the psychological weakness of others to instigate others to kill, while he himself stood on the sidelines from a distance.
It can be called an outlaw fanatic!
He even provoked Poirot's friend Hastings to kill someone!
If Poirot hadn't noticed, Hastings would have become a murderer.
If Poirot can't punish the opponent, the opponent will only continue to go crazy.
Under such circumstances, Poirot made the same choice as the murderers in "Murder on the Orient Express"——
Use violence to control violence!
For better or worse.
At least this behavior did not violate Poirot's personality, but made Poirot's personality stronger!
Yes.
He can forgive those people, because at the same dark moment, he will make the same extreme choice!
And the difference is...
Poirot could forgive others for using violence to punish the murderer, but he could not forgive himself for using this method.
So after he killed the murderer, he committed suicide without hesitation.
He is using his own way to die with the murderer!
And this is precisely the greatness of Poirot!
Be aware of this.
Many people fell silent.
The scolding against Chu Kuang was also suddenly silent.
With that story as a base, many people's criticisms are not true at all.
It's just that everyone didn't expect it.
It turned out that Chu Kuang had already shown this to everyone in "Murder on the Orient Express", and he had already been digging holes.
The difference is that those people still want to live after using violence to control violence.
Poirot, on the other hand, chose to use death as his salvation.
He feels guilty about himself.
He violated the code of his life.
In making this decision, he negates what has been his most steadfast tenure as a detective.
But this was Poirot!
The meaning of this layout is so profound that it can almost shock people's hearts!
The seemingly unconnected stories have formed a complete chain of thinking because of two choices with the same purpose——
Echoed around!
And when making these two choices, Poirot said four words repeatedly.
"I have no idea……"
He doesn't know how to deal with others, and he doesn't know whether his choice is correct.
There was no case in the world that could stump Poirot.
What stumped him was only the contradictions about human nature.
Is this ending acceptable now?
Readers don't know either.
But the scolding has indeed become smaller and smaller.
The reader's riot gradually subsided because of the "Murder on the Orient Express" mentioned in a cold light.
At this time.
Suddenly someone said: "I don't support Poirot's approach, but this does not prevent me from continuing to love him. He will always be the king of detectives in my mind."
It's like a chain reaction.
More and more readers agree:
"Using Poirot's own words in the book, maybe this is his retribution, so in the end Poirot also fell into a distant reincarnation. When the law lost its meaning, Poirot raised the gun he had planned for a long time, and then represented what he thought Justice shoots."
"I love him more."
"But this ending is really too cruel for Poirot. He has been pursuing the truth all his life, but in the final analysis he is still pursuing the justice of the law. In the end, he ended up in the most tragic way."
"He is very old, he is still so wise, but his body can't support it."
"It is people like Poirot who keep us in the sun all the time."
"I really like Poirot!"
"..."
Might still be controversial.
But compared to the crazy riots of the readers, everyone who has calmed down can already accept Poirot's choice.
Also accepted this ending.
It is worth mentioning that when Agatha's "The Curtain" was published, she was no longer alive, so there was no incident of readers jumping.
but……
To use the reader's ridicule, "capital crimes can be avoided and living crimes cannot be escaped."
No matter how well Chu Kuang handled this ending, it can't change the fact that he gave readers a knife in the finale.
"This old thief is too bad!"
"Totally teased us in the palm of our hands."
"I guess he is complacent. You see, "Murder on the Orient Express" has already hinted at Poirot's ending. Sooner or later, Poirot will welcome his own redemption."
"I hate the old thief!"
"Next time the old thief throws a knife, quickly hold him down!"
"Mo Dan, this has become a meme. Every time I watch a film or television drama, I feel that the creator is going to throw a knife, and there will be comments saying that I should hold down the hand of the old thief Chu Kuang."
"..."
This is also true.
The image of the current Chu Kuang in readers' minds is a bit like the old man of the earth.
Lao Xu refers to the neon playwright and novelist Urobuchi Gen.
Because the stories written by this person are more serious and have strong logical thinking editing ability, which makes people fall into deep thought after reading and gives people a kind of spiritual baptism, so the readers evaluate it very highly.
However, success is also imaginary and failure is also imaginary.
Although Lao Xu's works are wonderful, they basically adhere to the dark writing style. If you don't post a box, you will feel uncomfortable, so that everyone must keep a nervous heart when reading Lao Xu's works, because readers will never know what they like. When will your character receive bento.
Isn't Chu Kuang the same way?
Readers never expected that Poirot would die at the end of "Detective Poirot"!
How can he!
How dare he!
Poirot's popularity is extremely high among reasoning fans, and normal authors dare not play like this.
He is the only one who dares to dare!
It's not just the readers who feel physically and mentally exhausted, but many writers and editors in the industry feel very speechless——
"horrible."
"This old thief is not wronged."
"I thought it was his limit to kill Baguio, but I didn't expect him to dare to kill Poirot."
"Baguio is not the main character after all, so if he writes it to death, he will write it to death. I didn't expect that he would dare to attack the main character!"
"The key is that Baguio's popularity was not high before his death, but Poirot's popularity was at its peak before his death!"
"Chu Kuang is really crazy, and also really arrogant, he really deserves to be a man who is a fairy tale 1v9 man!"
"It's too fierce!"
"Other authors these days are careful to curry favor with readers, but he is the only one who plays tricks on readers' nerves every day."
Someone concluded:
There were two reader riots in the novel world, the first time was because of Chu Kuang, and the second time was because of Chu Kuang.
