Orient Express
In which Rat mistakes the story
Good time of day, humans!
Cousin occasionally finds books.
Transcript:
Cousin: — I found a funny detective story about a murder of a kidnapper.
Cousin: — Once it’s investigated, it turns out there was no single culprit, and everyone was in on it.
Rat: — Of course, Epstein didn’t kill himself, but this sounds plausible.
Rat seems to be confusing «kidnapper» and «human trafficker», but it’s often difficult to draw a line between those.
Possibly controversial opinion: Mrs. Christie might be guilty of painting this story in such a colorful manner that humans now believe this is something that only happens in books; quite the opposite, «Orient Express» scenario should be considered more often in reality.
And you don't have to pay for a train ticket because you're born into the Orient Express of reality.
What has been will be again, and what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun, no?
