Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989 - 2013) + Hercule Poirot: The First Cases (2021) parallels → Poirot's early career

The First Cases PS4 game expands on the Agatha Christie book canon we've previously had about Poirot's career as a young policeman in the Brussels Police Force, before he became a detective in England. Newspaper clippings in the game's intro give us a glimpse of an officer with a bit of a wild streak, who doesn't shy away from defying orders when he deems it necessary.

In Agatha Christie's Poirot tv series' episode 5x06 "The Chocolate Box" young officer Poirot clashes with the Superintendent over an investigation involving the future mayor of Brussels, and gets yelled at for poking his nose into delicate affairs. Refusing to be cowed, Poirot takes on extra cases in his free time. He is admired in the press for being an excellent policeman, "a spark in the otherwise dull embers of the police force." His skills as a marksman are also established in the novel "Curtain" and the tv episode based on it.
