Eight Elements Strange people were invited to the Black Island. When they arrived, the only people who received them were the housekeeper and his wife. During dinner, the gramophone in the restaurant suddenly sounded, accusing them of the ten guests, as well as the housekeeper and his wife. Guilty of murder. While everyone was panicking, one of the guests died suddenly. The nightmare began

They all found this children's song in their room:

Ten A little Indian boy ran for food;

One choked to death and could not be saved, and only nine out of ten were left.

The nine little Indian boys were so sleepy late at night;

They fell asleep and died, and only eight of the nine were left.

Eight little Indian boys went to Devon City to hunt for novels;

One of them died and returned to the West, leaving only seven of the eight.

Seven little Indian boys were not good at chopping trees and branches;

One of them died after being chopped in half with an axe, leaving only six of the seven.

Six little Indian boys played with the hive to make the bees angry;

A flying sting came and screamed, leaving only five of the six.

Five little Indian boys got into trouble and filed lawsuits;

The lawsuits lasted until their death, and only four of the five were left.

Four little Indian boys went to sea together and met with disaster;

The fish swallowed one with blood stains, and only three of the four were left.

Three little Indian boys met with disaster in the zoo;

A bear suddenly fell from the sky, leaving only two of the three.

Two little Indian boys, sighing under the sun;

Roasted to death in the sun and grieving, only one of the two is left.

A little Indian boy came back alone;

He committed suicide by hanging on a beam, leaving no one left.

There are ten small porcelain statues on the dining table. For a few days starting from the first night, people died every day according to the method described in the children's song. For each person who died, the porcelain vase on the dining table One less person will be lost. Suddenly, everyone is in danger and hopes to find a way to save their lives.

But there was a big storm on the sea, and it was impossible to find rescue or escape. The only way to survive was to find the murderer.

Who is the murderer? The desert island has been searched several times by them, and there is no place for it, so the murderer must be among them.

The surviving people doubted each other and tested each other, but all the warnings and precautions still failed to prevent the arrival of the last moment.

The wind and waves subsided, and so did the open and secret fighting on the island. Only ten corpses were left, and no one survived.

This is a very successful novel, so many mystery dramas later borrowed from it.
