The Murder in Mog Street was mentioned in The Scaring Hall Incident, so I found this book and read the case. The version of New World Publishing House contains five independent short suspense stories: Murder in Moge Street, Lydia, Stolen Letters, a barrel of Montevideo White Wine and Moreira. This is a brief introduction given by Douban. After reading the e-book, I seriously doubt that the editor must have lost his mind when reviewing it. Obviously, there is the sixth chapter "Mecger Stein", but it is together with "Moreira".
Poe, after all, is a big man who created mystery novels, which also caused his novels to have no specific classification orientation. Only Murder in Mog Street and Stolen Letters are considered as mystery novels. Other stories are more inclined to thrillers.
Murder in Moge Street is generally recognized as the earliest mystery novel in the world, and it also opens the way to murder in the secret room. The combination of French detective Dobbin and his assistant in the story has also become an important reference for the protagonist in later mystery novels. Just because of its position in the reasoning world, it is also worth reading this story. The case itself is not surprising. After all, the truth of animal crime has appeared countless times in later novels. It's just that when witnesses from various countries provide testimony, they speculate on the nationality of the murderer, which has nothing to do with the logical analysis questions in the civil service examination. It's exactly the same. There are so many testimonies that I'm too lazy to demonstrate the contradiction carefully. I directly think of the assumption that all witnesses in Murder on the Orient Express are murderers. Will it be because all witnesses are murderers?
"Moreira" and "Lydia" make me feel that the core is somewhat similar, and people in Europe and America are in love with ghosts. If you have a bond with someone, you should be prepared to shed tears for her. Moreira and her daughter are almost identical; Lydia's resurrection from the dead and her possession of Trivan. It reminds me that the immortal body of "Dalia" in The Dark Hall Incident is almost the same as that between mother and daughter, which makes Pu Dengxuan feel emotionally neurotic. Ayatsuji Yukito was inevitably influenced by his forefathers when he wrote. The peak concentration of phenylethylamine usually lasts for six months to four years, which is the time of a love. Therefore, people themselves are not long-lasting creatures, and love to the death is against nature, so when we want to give up love, this can be an excuse. But as Mr. Qian Zhongshu said: If that person is you, you'd rather blow your heart into fireworks and spend your life cleaning the ash stove.
"A Barrel of Montevideo White Wine" may also be the earliest setting to build people in the wall. Compared with the thriller novels on the market now, it doesn't look new. There are only two things that can attract my attention in the story: first, Fodunato insulted Montevideo many times, causing Montevideo's revenge and eventually being killed. Never insult others, even if you can't help the world at the same time. You never know if the other person is a vengeful person. In particular, the inscription "Revenge must be reported" on the family emblem of the Monterey family and the numerous bones, it is conceivable that most people who offended the Monterey family suddenly disappeared into the world. You can imagine what a horrible family this is. In reality, we should not be so unlucky to meet such a cruel person, but this is not the reason why we can look down on others. For example, Tang Sanzang, who is weak and gentle, is an honest man who seems to be bullied by anyone, but we don't know who is behind him. When an honest man is really angry, he may not even have a chance to kneel down and apologize. Second, Fortunato was lured because of his confidence and obsession with wine. In normal life, this is actually not a big deal. Everyone always has a little hobby, just remember not to let people take advantage of their hobbies, making them the cause of harm to themselves.
