218. The Mysterious Affair at Styles: Poirot's Detection kit

 

atelier ying, nyc.

 

Christie's Poirot departs from both the medical profiling method and Holmes to become more of a collector and archivist in the film script versions of the Christie stories. It is here that Poirot's dramatized analytic method comes squarely into the sights of my world, for the series producers have painstakingly added exquisite details to the tools of Poirot as if he were related to James Bond. Incidentally, this kit is so much better than an teenager's make-believe kit, and no harder to assemble for the real thing. I have added a camera which would fit the level of analysis of Poirot's work.

 

The calf leather attaché detection kit functions to extract, collect and analyze. For this it generously contains the following:

envelopes for collecting particles, test tubes with droppers for liquids, fingerprint powder, various cutting (scissors & knives), picking & retrieving (different sized tweezers & forceps) tools, magnifying glass, magnifying loupe, pencil, gloves, cleaning cloth and agent, a camera with aperture & shutter settings for infinity and macro, a developer in a separate casing the size of a cigarette case, two sets of film holders with 5 plates each, and a small matching calf leather bound notepad which is not really necessary actually as Poirot arranges his points of interest inside the little grey cells of his brain.

 

PS: the camera will be uploaded in the near future
