剧情简介：The Murders in the Rue Morgue is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe published in Graham's Magazine in 1841. It has been claimed as the first detective story and also as the model for Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot; Poe referred to it as one of his "tales of ratiocination". Similar works predate Poe's stories, including Das Fraulein von Scuderi (1819) by E.T.A. Hoffmann and Zadig (1748) by Voltaire. Detective C. Auguste Dupin is faced with the most puzzling case of his career as witness accounts contradict each other and key evidence from the perpetrator does not appear to be human when the mutilated bodies of Madame L'Espanaye and her daughter are found in the rue Morgue. In the story all of Paris is in shock following the ghastly murder of two women - but with all witnesses claiming to have heard the suspect speak a different language, the police are stumped. When Dupin finds a suspicious hair at the crime scene, and places an advert in the newspaper asking if anyone has lost an 'Ourang-Outang', things take an unexpected turn…
