WHO WAS KILLED?
Monsieur Ratchett was murderded on the Orient Express at midnight during the delay of the train.
WHY?
A few years prior to the murder, a seperate murder, nicknamed "The Armstrong Case," occured. A man named Casseti Armstrong was just married with another women who had already had a four year old child. A couple moths after the marrige, Armstrong snapped, kidnapped, and murdered their only daughter. Later, it was revealed that "Monsieur Ratchett" was actually just a cover name for Casseti Armstrong, and he was the man murdered on the Orient Express. Poirot and Bouc are lead to believe that this murder is a revenge killing, and treat the investigation as such.
WHO DID IT?
The next eleven pages conist of descriptions of suspects who were on the Orient Express and who can potray the murderer. The only description given of the appearence of the murder, is that he or she is dark, small, has a feminine and week voice, and wears either a conducotors outfit or a scarlet night gown. There is also a possibility that it is a two person job, due to the fact that some passengers saw a women in a kimono and then a man in a conductors uniform (who were both never seen boarding the train). Or, it is possible that the job was done by a women in disguise. The suspects description can help show light on the subject for you to figure out.
