@播音员 :Redpath家族在1901年蒙特利尔豪宅中发生一起离奇的谋杀案,Ada Redpath和她的儿子Clifford被发现死于枪伤。案发后,Redpath家族极力掩盖真相,调查草率,结论指向Clifford因癫痫发作精神失常而杀害母亲后自杀。然而,诸多疑点令人质疑这一结论。首先,调查报告遗漏了关键信息,例如子弹数量和位置,以及案发时其他家庭成员和仆人的位置。其次,Clifford的癫痫病史缺乏证据,其家庭医生Roddick博士在调查前就向媒体透露了这一信息,令人怀疑其动机。此外,Ada和Clifford的死对其他家庭成员,特别是Amy,带来了巨大的利益。Amy作为Ada唯一的女儿,长期以来承担着照顾母亲和弟弟的责任,Ada的死解除了她的束缚。因此,Ada自杀,Clifford试图阻止,最终两人都遇害的可能性存在。此外,也存在其他Redpath家族成员参与谋杀的可能性,例如Amy与Roddick医生的婚事,以及Amy在遗嘱中对Peter和Clifford的特殊安排,都暗示了家族内部可能存在隐情。总而言之,Redpath家族谋杀案充满了疑点,真相至今仍未揭晓,成为一个经典的维多利亚时代悬案。
