At the suggestion of Laura's sister, Marlene Huckaby, Hartley left Monridge and went to work abroad. Laura can only abide by her father's last wish and marry the charming Mr. Peacewell Glyde. However, Peacewell had no inheritance rights because his parents did not register their marriage. He was heavily in debt and wanted to get Miss Laura's inheritance of 20,000 pounds. He conspired with Laura's uncle to kill Anne Cesarik, a woman in white who resembled Laura, and lied to the outside world that Laura was sick and died, and sent Laura back to the lunatic asylum as the woman in white... "The Moonstone" is known as the longest and best modern detective novel. It is a novel written by the British Victorian novelist Wilkie Collins. The novel tells about the mysterious disappearance of a diamond (moon gem), which was later detected by Detective Cuff. The story is caused by a gem. According to legend, there is a moon gem in India, which is set on the forehead of a four-handed Indian god and is guarded by three Brahmins. The luster of the gem changes with the changes of the moon. God once predicted that whoever takes this gem will be cursed. At the beginning of the 18th century, the moon gem was robbed, and this priceless gem was passed to England. Just as the prophecy said, its owners all died in mysterious circumstances. Later, the gem fell into the hands of Colonel Huncastle, a British military officer. After he gave it to his niece Rachel as a birthday gift, the gem suddenly disappeared. After some twists and turns, the truth of the case was finally revealed, and the moon gem finally returned to the forehead of the moon god. In the novel, the author boldly disclosed the heinous crimes committed by the British in India and asked the British to face the world with a humanitarian spirit. He also lost no time in expressing his wishes and expressed his hope that Britain would not become a country hated by the people of the world and that its hands would not be stained with the blood of innocent people. This novel does not directly disclose the domestic politics of the United Kingdom, but effectively attacks the leaders of the British upper class through several bloody cases.
