When the plot revealed that the client was in line to inherit a fortune, Sir Turt slapped his thigh in excitement.
As expected, that unknown new author couldn't come up with anything original.
The client was the killer. Then he'd pretend to be wrongly accused and hire a lawyer to defend him.
The lawyer would see through the lies and expose the client's guilt, hidden beneath a facade of innocence.
The main plot would just be the lawyer's process of uncovering the truth.
It would follow the usual plot twists: facing hardship, hitting rock bottom, seeing a glimmer of hope, the darkest hour, and the final victory.
That's how all those mystery plays are written.
At the end, they'd give the protagonist a stage to reveal the truth, with everyone listening as he lays out his reasoning.
Then everyone would be shocked. 'So that's what happened! I can't believe he managed to solve such a twisted and bizarre case!'
