MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS: PLOT The story took place in a train Trip from Turkey to France and began when a passenger is found murdered in his own compartment. When Pierre Michel, who was the train’s conductor, found out about the murder, he inmediately told this to Mr. Bouc, who worked for the company that ran the Orient Express. By chance, a famous detective was in this train, whose name was Hercule Poirot. Mr. Bouc took the advantage of the relationship between him and the detective, because they knew each other from before, and asked him for help in order to take the case and try to solve it. Mr. Bouc explained to Poirot that it would be better if the case was already solved when the Police arrived in order to avoid problems and delays. Mr. Poirot accepted the case willingly. At the first part of the investigation, the detective decided to examine the body of the murdered person and the crime scene, where he found several clues. Then he continued with the interviews of every single passenger that were on the train during the night of the murder. At the end of the story, he could discover that none was who said to be, because this case was connected with another one: the Amstrong’s Case, that happened in America, when a little girl was kidnapped by a team of gangsters, whose leader was the victim on the train. Although her parents had paid the money the kidnappers asked for, they killed the girl anyway. The Amstrong family was completely destroyed after this tragedy and the leader of the gangster’s team used his power and money to escape from the law’s punishment, although there was no doubt about his guiltiness. Consequently, the detective, thought about two possible solutions for the case and asked Mr. Bouc and Dr. Constantine, who examined the victim’s body at the first time, to decide about which of the solutions were the right one, when he explained them to the passengers in the restaurant carriage.
