Moriarty's true love

Alejandrin 2021-12-19 08:01:11

As a pioneering work, Conan Doyle's Holmes is actually not a typical mystery protagonist. He rarely hunts down serial murderers, and rarely solves the secret room mystery. Sometimes it takes a pipe, a pillow, and a whole night to reason about a very simple puzzle. Although not typical, Holmes is undoubtedly the most well-known and most popular detective character in the world, which is of course attributed to Conan Doyle's extremely successful characterization. Therefore, I'm afraid that many viewers like me don't expect to see how complicated serial crimes are in the adaptation, as long as there are characters in the original work that are similar in shape or spirit. If I can see the old stems in the original, I would be very happy.

Therefore, when I watched this drama, I generally didn't take the rationality of crime seriously. As long as Miller showed high-functioning antisocial personality and Liu Yuling showed a tsundere and loyal dog, that would definitely be regarded as delightful. However, I still have expectations for the last three episodes. After all, others can be mentally retarded, but Holmes's old enemy Moriarty cannot. If the rivalry between these two people didn't spark the spark of wisdom, wouldn't the name of the "basic deduction" come up in vain? I thought the screenwriter would do the same as I thought, and carefully design the final crime. I didn't expect that the editor would be different from what I thought, and made up a bunch of big holes that I can't bear to see. In chronological order, the most important ones in these caves are as follows:

1. Is it necessary to use Holmes to clean up the husband and wife of the security company? Moriarty is fully aware of the weaknesses of the boss and his wife. What is the difference between having Holmes go and asking someone to expose or threaten the boss and his wife? Not at all, except to give Holmes insight that he is plotting a conspiracy in New York.

2. Does the assassination of political stars require the former gang boss to take action? Obviously, the impact of the assassination mainly depends on the assassin, not the assassin. (Who remembers who killed Grand Duke Ferdinand, Lincoln, and Kennedy?) So why use kidnapping a daughter to threaten the former gang boss? (It's a stupid and cumbersome incentive mechanism.) Wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort to find a Greek gangster and lure him into doing something with money and brainwashing?

3. How was the information of the Greek ship king revealed to Holmes? Two premises: 1. Moriarty’s deputy did not move his fingers to take away the organization’s special mobile phone when handling the corpse of his subordinates; 2. The mobile phone left encrypted information that is absolutely useless to the organization and only useful to Sherlock Holmes. . A coincidence: Sherlock Holmes just saw this phone in the morgue.

4. Now it's Holmes's turn to become stupid. Now that a photo has been found in the mailbox of the ship king, why hasn't the person in the photo been found and monitored after the whole night (whether he is the victim or the perpetrator should be monitored)? That photo was obviously cut from a news photo. Did it take half a minute to use Google Images?

5. When it was approaching, Holmes finally determined that the good citizen in the photo was in a dangerous situation, and he knew the cause and effect before he thought of calling the alarm. But why didn't the police come to the door at the last minute? The police captain used to spend time to understand, is there actually no patrol near the rich area?

Can the above mistakes be made by the smartest Fumo combination in the world? The screenwriter's stupid stupidity can certainly be used as an explanation, but I suddenly discovered that within the framework of the story, there is also a reasonable explanation, that is, love. If this explanation holds, Moriarty's purpose in coming to New York is not at all for the one billion dollars. If it's only for money, she doesn't need to come, and her staff can get things done properly. The only purpose she came was to make her fascinated by Holmes. The one billion dollar case is nothing but a trap for her to catch Xiaofu. (Similarly, the killer M previously given to Holmes is also a bait.) And her purpose is to make Holmes lose to herself on the premise of knowing her identity, and then surrender after a mental breakdown to achieve a criminal marriage. With that said, loopholes 1, 2, and 3 become smooth. These actions to reduce work efficiency and deliberately reveal clues are nothing more than to allow Holmes, who is deaf, blind, and has limited intelligence, to keep up with the pace of the plan, and take a closer look at the development of the case under the lure of carrots. If Holmes hadn't found the gangster's cell phone, Moriarty should have thrown the ship king bait in front of him by other means. This also explains why so smart Moriarty would forget that he had deceived Holmes with a birthmark, and also exposed this detail to Holmes. Fu does not know her true identity, it is impossible to fall to the dark side.

In this way, Moriarty seemed to be leading Holmes by the nose all the time. But Holmes' mistakes were not made casually. When he obviously had the opportunity to overtake Moriarty, he chose to spend an extra night studying the motives of the crime. Isn't this a negative match? The tragic deaths of the three innocents only contributed to Moriarty's blind arrogance and Holmes' chance to bring them to justice. Later, in the police station, he beat up the security guards and snatched drugs. Of course, they were all acting, but it was far less powerful than the death of the three supporting actors. In this way, Holmes had already understood Moriarty's plan and decided to use his opponent's love as a blind spot and the death of innocent passers-by as bait. He deserves to be called the "most selfish man" by Griegson. In comparison, there are two people in Moriarty's heart, and of course it is impossible to be undefeated.
