"Hastings is no longer just an assistant, but a potential love interest."
In the story, Hastings travels to the beautiful French town of Merlinville with his calm partner, the famous Belgian detective Poirot. They accepted the request of a man named Paul Renaud, but a murder occurred before their arrival. Reynaud was found dead in a newly dug grave near the golf course. This unusual situation added countless suspense to the subsequent investigation?
People praised Poirot for his powers of observation, and some even compared him to Sherlock Holmes, believing that his talent for suspense reasoning was equally outstanding, while Hastings was gradually pushed into a completely new role. In this story, Hastings met a beautiful woman named "Cinderella", and the moment he met her, a spark of love ignited in his heart.
"Love is like a light in the darkness, illuminating his straight path."
As the case progressed, Hastings found himself deeply in love. For this mysterious woman, his heart seemed to no longer stay on the investigation of the murder, but was more attracted by her charm. Although he tried to stay focused, thoughts of her were always with him. Whenever the pace of the case was slow, he recalled her smile, which made him feel a little warm during this suspenseful journey.
Of course, the road to love is never smooth. As the investigation deepened, Hastings had to face threats and uneasiness from all sides, and things gradually became complicated. Just when he thought he could independently find out the truth, the murderer was wandering around him like a ghost. All of this forced Hastings to struggle between love and duty, and the ensuing choices made him even more confused.
"The emergence of true love makes people unable to extricate themselves, but this is a gamble, and the suspense lies in the result."
