Magpie Murder Susan, a veteran book editor. Her most important task at the moment is to be responsible for the publication of best-selling fiction author Allen's new book, Murder in the Magpie.
But just as she read the last chapter of the manuscript. She was confused, not because the ending was bad. Instead, the grand finale is missing, which happens to be the most important chapter of the novel to expose the murderer. [Image] Susan thought this was a lack of carelessness in the assistant's printing of the manuscript. While at work, she approached her boss to report the problem. But her boss told her that there were only so many originals. How can a book be published without an ending, and Susan hopes to find Ellen and ask him to send the ending over. However, it was at this time that a bad news came. Alan is dead! [Picture] Everything looks very suspicious. Why did a well-known writer die suddenly? Was it suicide or murder? To find out, you're only looking for it in this new show – Magpie Murders [Image] Director: Peter CatanniuScreen: Anthony Horowitz Starring: Leslie Manville / Tim McMurray / Conless Hill / Michael Maroni / Alexandros Logotis Genre: Drama / Suspense Premiere: 2022-02-10 ( United Kingdom) Episodes: 6 as the home of Sherlock Holmes. Britain has always had a relatively high position in the history of the development of speculative fiction. Particularly famous authors are Conan Doyle, "Father of Sherlock Holmes", "Queen of Reason" Agatha Christie... Many of the novels of these authors have been adapted into film and television series. The new drama is also adapted from the novel. The novel of the same name, "Magpie Murder", swept through the list of Japan's top five reasoning as soon as it came out. [Picture] The biggest feature of this drama is that it continues the setting of the novel. Continue the two-line narrative, nested within a case. The main line is divided into two lines. The first line: the real world, Susan perspective. The second line: the world in the book, the detective perspective. Let's go back to the fall case mentioned at the beginning. Susan is devastated by Alan's death, but finds out that Ellen left behind a letter that appears to be a suicide note. It was because of this suicide note that Allen was convicted of "suicide." But Susan felt strange. First of all, she felt that Alan was a person who would not choose to commit suicide. Secondly, the letter is also suspicious. Because the text on the cover is printed, the text inside is handwritten. This is counterintuitive. [Picture] Finally, if Alan was suicidal. Why not choose an easier and easier way to die. [Image] [Image] [Pictured] All indications are that Allen's death may not have been that simple. The book is in urgent need of publication. All in all, Susan decides to go to Ellen's house to find the last chapter of the novel. After coming to Alan's house. Something strange happened, and all the electronic documents and manuscripts about the article in Allen's house disappeared. It felt like someone had deliberately cleaned up everything about the article. [Image] [Photo] Susan felt very tricky about the loss of the manuscript. But coincidentally, the same events occur in the world of Allen's book. Allen's book also begins with a fall from a building. Mary, the housekeeper of Pai's mansion in his book, fell from a staircase and died. This fits in with the "Allen Fall Incident". [Photo] Not only that, but there was also a theft in this mansion. The antiques collected by the owner of the Pai Mansion have also disappeared. Again fits into the "Manuscript Loss Incident". Immediately afterward, the Pai Mansion issued another murder case. This time, the deceased was the owner of Pai's mansion, who had his head cut off with a sword. Finally, like the real world, the world in the book is missing the last chapter. The detective is caught up in the mystery of who is the murderer... >>>>> the suspect of killing all the people is in trouble, Susan suddenly discovers a particularly magical thing. It is the characters that Allen created in the book, and in reality, they all have prototypes. A coincidence can be called a "coincidence." But if there are "coincidences" everywhere, it is a clue. The detectives of the world in the book are also emphasizing this matter. After Susan's investigation. As a writer, Allen has a very eccentric temper, so he has also offended many people around him. Therefore, the people around them basically have images in the book. The boyfriend who is stripped of everything and kicked out of the house. He was fired and humiliated by him with words. There is also an irreconcilable contradiction between the land and Alan's neighbors. The two hated each other so much that they were incompatible. Even the waiter at the town's restaurant hated Alan. Because Alan plagiarized his creative ideas. [Pictured] Susan investigates along the lines of each person's testimony. The discovery coincides with the clues in the book. So, is it really Allen who is hinting at something? Does the disappearing chapter also reveal that Alan's death is not simple? >>>>> the intersection of the two worlds, the whole play begins to climax here. That is, Susan began to reason about the murderer through various clues. The two-line story flashes at the same time. Usually many films with two-line narratives make one mistake: the connection is very blunt. But the show cleverly combines the two worlds. When Susan decides to go to Alan's house, the detectives in the book also intend to go to Pai's mansion to investigate the murder. On the way, the two worlds intersect. Susan's car drove past the detective's car. [Photo] Susan investigates the case and comes to the suspect's house and knocks on the door. The picture comes to the world of the book in an instant. When the case is reasoned to a certain dilemma. The detective in the book and the real-life Susan will also "meet". This means that the two characters begin to have the same thinking to think about the case. The details of many cases are also gradually becoming clear in the intersection of the two worlds. In this way, reality and fiction corroborate each other, making the journey of seeking the truth interesting... >>>>> super cool reasoning process As a reasoning drama, of course, the process of "reasoning" is indispensable. This drama is cool in the "reasoning process". Because this drama uses the long-lost "intrinsic reasoning". The so-called "intrinsic reasoning" refers to this type of reasoning that focuses on the puzzle itself, and impresses the reader with a reasoning game above logic. And try to keep the information obtained by the audience and the detective equal. That is, let the audience participate and enjoy reasoning as if they were detectives. In the previous number, there are "Sherlock Holmes", and in the recent number, there are "Detective Conan" and "Kaneda-Ichi Detective Collection", which are typical Benge reasoning. So, when you watch this show, you're Susan, you're the detective. Therefore, when watching the play, you can enjoy the ultimate reasoning experience. But the final murderer, Uncle, is not a spoiler. Provide a viewing guide: don't miss every detail and conversation, maybe the clues are hidden in the details. In addition, the modern scenes and background soundtrack in the play are often reminiscent of "Sherlock". Uncle believes that this drama can be regarded as a good drama that integrates brain-burning, darkness and reversal. Six episodes, you can chase it in one breath! It will definitely make you reminisce.
