Speaking of Professor Grimmauld's case, no matter how many adjectives are used to describe the bizarre case, even Dr. Phil's friends who love impossible crimes will never be able to find a more mysterious and shocking case in his case file. Two cases that occurred adjacent to each other in time and space were so bizarre that Dr. Phil was repeatedly frustrated. Footprints on the snow, enigmatic last words, terrifying oil paintings, discolored coats... Who is this illusory man who sneaked into the secret room like a ghost to commit murder, and then disappeared without a trace?
Reader comments
"Secret Room Trick" was not originally invented by Carl, but the locked room trick in this book is definitely the first of its kind!
To be honest, it was stated at the beginning of the book that Mills definitely did not lie, otherwise all the reasoning itself would be invalid. However, I fell into a fixed mindset and automatically excluded Grimaud. After all, I thought he would not commit suicide, and he probably did not want to expose all the things he wanted to hide in the past.
The plot of this book can be said to be logically sound, with both clues and misleading fog provided. It can only be said that it is indeed not easy to deduce the truth.
I also doubted that Orlok (Frey is also a colleague of the magician), and even thought of the means and purpose of killing that had nothing to do with this book. I can only say that it was completely wrong (thinking about it now, this should also be a result that the author hopes to mislead. After all, one of the protagonists, Rimbaud and his girlfriend also had doubts and thoughts about Orlok)
In the first secret room, I thought that the murderer had hidden himself in the painting in advance. There were no so-called visitors. Everything was directed and acted by the professor, creating an alibi. Mrs. Dumont was an accomplice. The professor had his own calculations and guessed it. However, he did not expect that the location of the pass was wrong with the clock time, and there was no person hidden in the painting but a mirror. If this case were to be carried out now, it would be much less difficult. The smoke reaction could be checked and the time would not be wrong. In this way, the secret room problem would be solved quickly.
This book is so wonderful! The author John Dickson Carr is like a magician. His words brought me into a world full of fog and suspense. The secret room case in the story opened my eyes. I seemed to have become Dr. Phil, looking for the truth in the fog. Especially the mysterious three coffins made my heart beat faster. I felt like the heroine in the book, passionately in love with this mysterious and challenging world. The author's conception and description are simply wonderful. Reading this book is like being in a thrilling adventure!
Every detail is perfectly matched, the story is meticulous, and the truth is impossible to guess. It is not until the last moment that we can understand why the deceased could not reveal a concise death message. The two secret rooms and the secret room handouts are definitely classics in the mystery world.
Magic and legends filled this novel with a weird atmosphere. I really thought I was writing an impossible story that existed only in myths, but the ending of the story was reasonable. This book gave me the feeling that it was just like what was said in the book. There are tricks and simple operations behind magic, so many people find it disgusting and vulgar after learning about it. But before the secret is revealed, it always arouses our nerves, doesn't it?
"The Three Coffins", first published in 1935. The secret room built using magic techniques is very creative, but can a person really perform so many actions after being shot?
He is worthy of being a master of the secret room. It's very enjoyable to watch and the logic is perfect, but I don't believe anyone can solve it.
What a great book, interlocking, in-depth, logical and fascinating.
Niubi Niubi, it's really good-looking
Where did the fourth coffin ⚰️ go?
The originator of secret room reasoning
Very exciting and worth watching.
Very well written, keep reading
It turns out to be the magic of time
Both story and logic
I saw half of it, I feel good
It's well written. I like this kind of suspense literature.
The secret room trick is introduced, and the reader is told at the beginning of the novel that Mills's testimony is true, combined with magic, burning paper, windows, and fair clues. But I just didn't expect that gun...
The classic secret room. I thought there was no truth in the first half, but in the end it suddenly became clear. It is a very wonderful book.
I finished reading it in one day and was really confused [face covering]
