Chapter 240 Customized Novel

ABC is killing people crazily.

Murders happened one after another, making people panic.

The fourth murder happened in a place called Doncaster on September 11. ABC had already given a notice through a letter to Poirot.

During this period, the St. Leger horse race will be held in Doncaster.

There will be a lot of people gathered at that time.

If a murder happens during this period, ABC will surely become famous!

This fourth murder happened in a theater in Doncaster. The victim was a barber named George Earlsfield.

He was stabbed to death in a seat in the theater.

But this murder was very unusual!

Because the murderer made a mistake!

George Earlsfield's name does not start with the letter D!

This George Earlsfield and a man named Downs had similar height and appearance, and they were dressed similarly that day.

The murderer seemed to have killed the wrong person!

At the same time, an inconspicuous man named Caster quietly surfaced.

When Custer was washing the blood off his clothes in the hotel room, he was bumped into by the waitress.

It was obvious that Custer was the murderer.

After investigation, it was indeed the case.

The police found the murder weapon in Custer's hotel room, and everything was clear.

Then they started to hunt Custer.

What disappointed Lin Xiao was that.

In the end, Custer was desperate and fell into the trap, and fainted in front of the police station.

"That's it????" Seeing this, Lin Xiao was already furious.

This is just a lonely thing to watch.

You tell me that this is Poirot solving the case? ? ?

What did Poirot do in the whole process?

He did almost nothing!

Then the case automatically surfaced and was closed.

Not only Lin Xiao, there are many people who feel the same way as him.

Therefore, in this part, the chapter comments and paragraph comments exploded instantly.

"Fuck!! What are you writing, you big pig's hoof?"

"I've raised you for so long... and you're just showing me this?"

"The Complete Poirot Book is just a decoration."

"And did you notice!! The big pig's hoof directly uses the third-person perspective to show us the murderer nakedly!! This is just an ordinary murder story!! There is no reasoning at all?"

"Someone else wrote it?"

"The standard has dropped sharply!"

"It's not even at the level of the big pig's hoof reasoning. Disappointed! Very disappointed."

"Not to mention the slow updates!! The plot is so perfunctory."

"I always liked you! But now... I really! I can't describe the feeling! I probably don't want to read the next book anymore."

"Waste of emotion."

The readers' emotions are accumulated to the extreme here.

Very angry and dissatisfied.

I came in with great expectations and wanted to read it thoroughly! The result!! Haha...

I can only haha.

At this time, someone said in the comment area: "Isn't there an end? Believe in the big pig's hoof!! Maybe there will be a reversal?"

"What kind of reversal can there be? Don't tell me that this is a deliberate frame-up."

"Forget it, although I don't have any hope, I'll finish it first."

Really!

The moment Custer fainted and went to prison, Lin Xiao immediately lost his expectations and interest in this book.

It's too mediocre.

The result is directly placed in front of you!

What kind of reasoning is this?

And there is no suspense at all.

Compared with "Murder on the Orient Express" and "Death on the Nile", this ABC is simply garbage...

It can't even be called garbage.

Lin Xiao really can't describe his mood at the moment.

He wanted to stop reading countless times.

But there was another voice in his heart telling him, what if... I've seen this, what if?

"What am I still looking forward to?" Lin Xiao smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Read on patiently.

After that, Poirot and Custer had a face-to-face conversation.

And during the conversation, Custer has admitted that he killed someone...

The story is even less suspenseful.

The murderer has admitted it!

But Poirot thinks there are still doubts.

First of all, this Custer fainted before because he suffers from epilepsy, and many times he doesn't know what he did.

And with his personality and mental state.

It is impossible to complete the careful arrangement and planning of the ABC series of murders.

So Poirot determined!

The murderer is someone else.

And seeing this, Lin Xiao's lost interest finally gradually came up again, "Is there... a reversal?"

If there is really a reversal!

How should Custer explain this?

And Poirot also found a strong evidence! Custer has a conclusive alibi in the second murder case!

The situation gradually became complicated.

"Are there any helpers?" Lin Xiao thought of the "couples" in "Death on the Nile".

And Poirot kept asking questions:

What is Custer's motive?

Why did he kill people?

Some people say!

He is a lunatic.

A lunatic doesn't need a reason to kill.

But Poirot thought that a madman could not have committed a series of murders... there must be something he overlooked.

He thought the murderer must be a cunning, resourceful and courageous person.

And Custer didn't have such qualities.

He rethought the problem.

He focused on the four victims.

They died!

Who would benefit?

Poirot judged the possible suspects behind the deaths of the four victims one by one.

Finally, the third murder case caught Poirot's attention.

"Sir Carmichael Clarke was a wealthy man. Who will inherit his estate after his death? His dying wife has lifelong ownership, and after her death, the property belongs to Sir Carmichael Clarke's brother, Franklin Clarke."

"ABC and Franklin Clarke are the same person."

Poirot made the final decision!

Such a result was unexpected by no one.

Because Franklin Clarke has always played the role of the victim's brother, there is no flaw at all.

It can't be him!

How could it be him?

Lin Xiao's heart seemed to hit something violently.

Sure enough, there is a reversal!

Then Poirot completely overturned the previous case and explained the murderer Franklin Clarke's murder crime from a new angle!

"If the motive and time are obvious, what will the murderer do?"

"Falsify an alibi!"

"That is, tamper with the time in some way. It is dangerous to do so. So the murderer came up with an even more incredible way to protect himself."

"Create a murderer!"

Create a murderer! This sentence is like a bomb, instantly destroying the reader's original cognition.

"What the hell? What is this operation?"

"To put it bluntly, it is to frame someone! ! Frame someone in a clever way!"

"So Custer is the unlucky guy who was framed?"

The subsequent explanation also confirmed the readers' thoughts.

It turns out that this man named Franklin Clark designed this series of cases in order to murder his brother.

The two cases A and B are just foreshadowing for him to kill his brother.

C is the core of this series of murders.

As for D, it is because ABC believes that there have been three cases that have madly provoked Poirot, but Poirot has not solved the case.

Based on such a character setting, in order to make this scene realistic, he cannot stop murdering.

So the lucky audience D was randomly selected.

To deepen the image of Custer as a murderer.

But he didn't know that

all this had already attracted Poirot's attention and suspicion.

Franklin Clark wanted to shoot himself to escape the crime, but he failed and was eventually arrested.

The case was completely solved!

At the same time, after the case was over, Poirot also announced his complete retirement.

See here.

The readers who had previously madly scolded the author exploded instantly.

"Fuck! There is a shocking reversal in the last few pages."

"The big pig's hoof is worthy of being called a big pig's hoof! I kneel down directly."

"In order to kill one person, a series of murders were created, and another murderer was fabricated! This plot is amazing~"

"I can only say that the more you scolded at the beginning, the more excited you are after the reversal."

"The big pig's hoof is always a man who surprises you."

"Didn't you notice? From the one person who died in the Orient Express Murder, the three people who died in the Nile Massacre, and now the four people who died in ABC... the number of deaths is increasing."

"Oh my! I really didn't notice it if you didn't say it."

Many people are entangled in the number of deaths in the "Poirot series of cases".

Discussions may be a deliberate arrangement by the big pig's hoof.

There may be a "signal delay". Many readers discussed it for a while before they reacted. Poirot! Announced permanent retirement!

"Fuck! Retire? Is the Poirot series over?"

"Not really! Although the murderer provoked you at the beginning! But this is not a tragedy caused by you, Poirot. Why do you want to retire?"

"Yes! Why do you want to retire?"

"It's 2022 already! Retirement has been delayed a long time ago."

"Poirot! Come back!"

The book review area has exploded.

And Poirot's retirement has also become a hot search on Weibo.

Many older people can't help but ask: "Poirot retired? Who is Poirot? Why is everyone discussing his retirement? Is he a big shot?"

In the end, I found out!

It turned out to be just a character in a novel.

Such a big deal.

Su Chen naturally did not stand up to speak for this.

Instead, he directly released a new book "The Great Detective Sherlock Holmes"!

Only one chapter of the new book was released.

But it caused an uproar.

On the same day!

Poirot and Sherlock Holmes!

The two detectives were on the hot search list and became a hot topic.

"So the big pig's hoof is ending the Poirot series! He's going to start the Sherlock Holmes series."

"The Great Detective Sherlock Holmes!! Isn't this a perfect imitation of the Great Detective Higashino?"

"I don't understand why he wants to end Poirot and start a new detective story!"

"Yes!! I like Poirot's mustache so much."

"Let's not talk too much, just read it first."

Higashino, the author of "The Great Detective Higashino", suddenly became interested in the new work "The Great Detective Sherlock Holmes" by the big pig's hoof.

This book title!!

It's clearly an undisguised provocation.

I'm the Great Detective Higashino!

You're the Great Detective Sherlock Holmes!!

Do you want to do this?

He was very curious about how the big pig's hoof would shape Sherlock Holmes.

Since Poirot was abandoned to write Sherlock Holmes, there must be a big reason.

Dongye wants to find the answer in the book.

The first story in the Sherlock Holmes series is called "A Study in Scarlet" and the first chapter is "Mr. Sherlock Holmes".

The main thing is to introduce the character of Sherlock Holmes.

The story is told from Watson's first-person perspective. Watson met Sherlock Holmes for the first time when he rented a house.

Through the mouth of little Stanford, the general outline of Sherlock Holmes was briefly described.

"You can't say this man is not good. He is just a bit special..." said little Stanford. "You don't understand what he is doing at all. But I know that he is very good at anatomy. Also, he is a pharmacist, first-class Especially, you must know that he has not studied medicine systematically, and his research is messy and has many wild ideas. He has a lot of weird things, which makes even Professor An Xie inferior. "

"Holmes, I think, is simply a science fanatic, so obsessed that he goes crazy..."

"Isn't it outrageous to even get to this point, to whip a corpse with a stick in the autopsy room?"

Young Stanford's descriptions of Holmes became increasingly outrageous.

Giving the impression that he is a weirdo.

But it seems interesting.

They successfully became "tenants".

Two grown men finally live together!

The second chapter begins with Holmes's "deduction method" to further shape the image of Holmes.

Holmes's intellectual abilities are mentioned in this chapter.

Literary knowledge - zero

Philosophical knowledge - zero

Astronomy knowledge - zero

Political knowledge - superficial

Plant knowledge – not comprehensive.

Geological knowledge - practical, limited.

Chemistry knowledge - profound.

Knowledge of anatomy - precise.

Knowledge of important case documents - extremely rich.

He is good at violin, baton skills, boxing, fencing, and is proficient in law and justice.

This strange mixture of knowledge makes it impossible for Watson to guess what Holmes does.

But the reader has a God’s perspective.

You can already guess everything from the title of the book.

"Holmes is such a talented detective!"

"Knowledge of literature, philosophy, astronomy - zero!!! Suddenly I feel like Sherlock Holmes is a little cute."

"Hahaha, it's very strange, very special, okay?"

"I kind of like this guy."

"A little more interesting than Poirot."

The character of Sherlock Holmes quickly became popular with readers.

Sometimes the interaction between him and Watson makes people smile.

Su Chen did not make any changes to the original work, and it remains true to its original flavor.

He did this for his own reasons.

He's going to film "Sherlock."

There is a huge gap between Sherlock and the original work in terms of historical background, age of the characters, etc.

This kind of contrast is what Su Chen wants.

He is confident that "Sherlock" will be a hit.

The only change made to the original work is that in the original work, Holmes is a low-level "drug addict" who relies on this kind of thing for inspiration.

Su Chen felt that such a setting might be 404, so he changed it to Mormoth being addicted to cigarettes.

When thinking about problems or looking for inspiration, he would hold his pipe in his mouth.

At almost the same time as "Sherlock Holmes" was uploaded, Starlight Pictures announced that it would simultaneously adapt "Sherlock Holmes" and film "Sherlock"!

As soon as the news came out.

The readership world and even the entire industry exploded.

"Holy shit!! So this is a customized novel for a TV series?"

"No wonder Big Pig Hoof didn't write about Poirot! Starlight Pictures gave too much love."

"Adapting the novel while it's still being written? Impossible!! This must be a combination card that has been prepared a long time ago!"

"Absolutely amazing!!"

"The DNA has already moved."

"Starlight Pictures is awesome. Squirting Squid specializes in scripts, which is incredible, and now there's another company specializing in novel IPs!"

"Not even coffin boards can suppress the rise of Starlight Pictures."
