注意﹕沒讀過這本書的朋友還是請別往下看了﹐無疑的它可能會影響你的閱讀樂趣。
<<中國桔子之謎>>身為十五部最出色密室凶案之一﹐暫不提整體的構思﹐就機關的設計以及運行起來的可行性來說是實至名歸的。看到不少朋友對它的評語是“不知所雲”﹐而這個看法﹐百分之九十九是源自于最後解釋機關的那一章﹐很多人都看得一頭霧水﹐不知道EQ在說什麼﹐也就錯過了領略機關的奧秘。要看明這個機關其實挺簡單﹐我畫了幾幅圖片﹐可能對理解會有幫助。其實整部書只需要弄清楚幾段話﹐第十七章裡說﹕
……EQ deposited the mat carefully over the threshold, one-third in the anteroom and the other two-thirds in the office. Then he got to his feet, took from this right pocket a coil of thin tough-looking cord…… he proceeded to measure off one-third the length of the cord… then wound the cord at that point about the protruding metal knob of the bolt on the anteroom side of the door.
EQ把一張地毯放在門檻上﹐三分一在候廳室裡﹐三分二在辦公室那邊﹐他用一條堅韌的繩子﹐在大概三分一的長度圍了鎖柄一圈﹐然後把短的一端從門檻塞到辦公室那邊。
……EQ took the dangling end of the cord, wind it about the haft of the spear nearer the door, he wound it about the spear twice……and pushed the remaining end through the crack…until it vanished into the office.
現在到奇怪的死者出場了﹐EQ令到死者站住地毯上﹐用還留在候廳室的繩子圍了兩圈靠近門的穿過死者衣服的矛﹐然後把繩子塞到辦公室那邊。請看下圖一﹕
到此現場已經準備好了﹐是到運行的時候了。而觸動機關的﹐就是那張地毯。EQ只要在辦公室那邊把地毯抽出……
……And then the mat under the door moved. It was being jerked out of the anteroom into the office beyong the door……with the jerk of the mat serveral things occured simultaneously. The dummy trembled, began to topple, and its stiffly speared body began to slide along the top edge of the jutting bookcase outward from the door……
地毯的抽出導致死者向外傾倒﹐背後的矛導致死者可以順著書架向外滑﹐直到連系著鎖柄的繩子阻止了它向外的滑動。請看下圖二﹕
……The slack in the cord from the spear to the bolt tightened and pulled the dummy back, halting it, for a moment it swayed, then started to fall rigidly forward on its face paralled with the door……with the tightening, the pull of the dummy's weight exerted as the dummy fell forward caused the bolted to slided in the same direction……into the catch on the jamb!
一旦繩子阻止了屍體向外的滑動﹐屍體開始遙動﹐然後以弧形的方向倒塌下地﹐下墜的力量牽動了連系著鎖柄的繩子﹐導致鎖柄成功滑進鎖扣。請看下圖三﹕
最後﹐只要把繩子抽出就大功告成﹐以至形成了最初的案發現場﹐如下圖四﹕
