Sometimes, examining the case in a different view, thinking as a murder, will decrease the time to solve the puzzle. Depending too much on the clues, which getting from people on the train, makes him going to the loop that all people cannot be a murder, but he sometimes thinks that everyone can be a murder. On the half of this novel, Poirot thinks like he can find the murder by asking people and focuses on what they react to a trap that he builds. However, Holmes does not use that way, he usually thinks as a murder because he knows that a murder can tell him a nice story without any errors in it. So he can distinguish what answer is truth or lying. Every evidence can help a detector to find a murder. On the first half of this novel, Poirot
However, he lets the work influence his beliefs and encourage him to keep believing in Richard’s innocence. Feelings guide his presumption about Richard’s innocence in several other places throughout the case, rather than fact. He starts looking into Richard’s history in the first place because he decides that Richard does not look like someone who would commit cold-blooded murder in one portrait that he sees of
Evidence is vital for any crime scene. No matter the case, police need to be carefully precise, speedy, and methodical to be able to collect this crucial evidence. With the very well handled cases out there, some slip through the cracks. Evidence that is linked to a crime can be contaminated, destroyed, or forgotten about which leads to finding a suspect to be hard. One example of this happening is the infamous murder case of JonBenet Ramsey.
The author does not say this outright, but it is implied through implicit and explicit evidence. The author reveals information in a way that makes the reader slowly begin to fear and suspect Holmes, which builds suspense. Explicitly, the author states facts about Holmes’s personality. For example, as a child, Holmes is described as “small, odd, and exceptionally bright.” At this point early in the book, we are not yet led to suspect the true nature of Holmes, but we know that there is something wrong with him.
While they were waiting for the advances, they thoroughly checked the crime scenes to find incriminating evidence against him. “In addition to the traditional tasks of compiling a paper trail on suspects, detectives went to extraordinary lengths searching for any trace physical evidence. They collected birds’ nests and animal feces, searched on hands and knees with magnifying glasses and tweezers. They knew that the entire case might hinge on a microscopic fragment that could be easily overlooked” (Murderpedia, the encyclopedia
A bystander could also be strong evidence for a case in court, in this book a person was actually present in this accidental murder,
It is often said that in order to solve crimes, the detectives must “get inside” the mind of the criminal. What does this mean to you? Describe at least two examples where we’ve seen this occur. How successful was the detective? a. To “get inside” inside the mind of a criminal takes on two meanings for me, the literal one where the criminal (who tries to pursue the job of a detective) is thinking about the detective (who is the criminal in the eyes of the fugitive) and trying to piece together what the detective may or may not know.
A crime that reaches Sherlock Holmes is not just a broken law, but a mystery. Trivia locates patterns to form functional solutions, while Doyle creates a world of disguises, drugs, and intrigue, in which the answer is never the obvious or expected. The facts presented are not the definite, or even likely, conclusion. This is apparent in the story’s mystery, in which the wife of Neville St. Clair witnessed what appeared to be her husband’s murder, leading to the arrest of a beggar, Hugh Boone, who was found at the scene of the crime. However, Sherlock Holmes deduces that Boone and St. Clair are the same man, revealing that St. Clair had been commuting to the city to beg rather than work and had allowed his own arrest to protect his ruse.
Holmes and Watson’s antagonist in the novel is the logic aspect of the case. For example, Holmes says “Of course, if...we are dealing with forces outside the ordinary laws of Nature, there is an end to our investigation. But we are bound to exhaust all other hypotheses before falling back to this one.” Also, in the novel, the logical solution and evidence is explained in further detail, for Holmes gives “a sketch of the course of events from memory” in the resolution. There are many subplots in the novel, such as Seldon’s escape, Sir Henry and Mrs. Stapleton, and Sir Charles Baskerville and Laura Lyons, which answered many questions about the case and evidence against Stapleton.
The main character in The Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie is Hercule Poirot. Hercule is a Sicilian private investigator who is faced with a challenge. Everyone on the train appears to have airtight alibis, but some must be lying. In this book Hercule has to see through the lies, discover who is telling the truth and determine the motive behind the murder. At the end of Murder on the Ortient Express, Hercule Poirot shows the passengers on the train that revenge can be an acceptable motive for murder.

Holmes needs Watson to gather information and deceive the criminal in order to solve the mystery. Towards the conclusion of the book, Watson finds one of the prehistoric huts and realizes that someone has been living there. He hears someone coming and hides. Sherlock comes to the
The basic motivation to investigate the murder is the curiosity over the town’s awareness of the approaching murder, he also suggests that he finds in the incident that happened a reflection of his own experience: “I returned to this forgotten village, trying to put the broken
Sherlock Holmes is believing that Mr. Barrymore had committed the crime. Watson was almost certainly convinced that it was Barrymore who did the crime and
It is tradition of the genre to have an uncommonly smart detective as protagonist, alongside a mediocre partner who often articulates the mystery. It is made apparent to the readers that the narrator possesses no significant intellect, as in the Murders in the Rue Morgue, when asked his opinion on the murders; he says “I could merely agree with all Paris in considering them an insoluble mystery. I saw no means by which it would be possible to trace the
All characters are accused and redeemed of guilt but the murderer is still elusive. Much to the shock of the readers of detective fiction of that time, it turns out that the murderer is the Watson figure, and the narrator, the one person on whose first-person account the reader 's’ entire access to all events depends -- Dr. Sheppard. In a novel that reiterates the significance of confession to unearth the truth, Christie throws the veracity of all confessions contained therein in danger by depicting how easily the readers can be taken in by
