About This Novel
On a closed and crowded tram, a person was poisoned to death with a strange weapon in full view of the public. It was pouring rain outside, but no trace was left at the scene. Everyone in the car was a suspect, but police could find no evidence. In desperation, the police asked Jerry Lane, the "Emperor of Drama", a retired actor who was proficient in reasoning and human nature for advice. After listening to the police's brief description, Lane immediately announced that he had locked the identity of the real murderer "X", but refused to announce his guess before gathering all the clues. Until on the closed ferry, the murder happened again in front of Ren's eyes. This time, the person who died turned out to be a key witness who claimed to have clues to the murderer... Faced with the murderer's exquisite plan that risked everything, can Renn really lock down the murderer's identity?

Is this some early OC work?
The plot is not without its highlights, but the detective is too occult... I don't understand his brain circuitry of not telling the police about the murderer, and letting DeWitt act alone, there is a sense of forcefulness in order to advance the plot.
There are indeed no hidden details. The detective and the reader have exactly the same information. This also made me think that Lane was pretending to be false. Finally, I found that his reasoning logic was completely based on objective facts. It was clear and clear. It was just that the protagonist's personality was fake and his character was disgusting.
Mr. Jerry Lane presented a wonderful drama, all the clues are clearly shown in the text, and the final revelation of the truth is perfect, with rigorous logic and a tightly connected storyline. The clues are peeled off one by one, and the clues are linked into an inseparable logical chain. However, I am uneducated, and my one sentence is awesome.
Hard to describe in one word
You can't guess the murderer. It's hard to doubt someone online with several people in disguise and identities. But this detective found the murderer but didn't tell him because he suspected an accomplice? As a result, there were several more victims later.
I really can't guess the murderer
More difficult to guess than Agatha's murderer... Maybe it's because of the length of it
At the last moment when a person is about to die, a kind of extremely clear, even abnormally rational "flash of wisdom" may suddenly appear in the brain.
