Who is the murderer of Roger Ackroyd ?
Please the final scene of this masterpiece of Agatha Christie.
There are six points.
...Let us recapitulate - now that all is clear. A person who (1) was at the Three Boars earlier that day, a person (2) who knew Ackroyd well enough to know he had purchased a dictaphone, a person (3) who was of a mechanical turn of mind, who (4) had the opportunity to take the dagger from the silver table before Miss Flora arrived, who (5) had with him a receptacle suitable for hiding the dictaphone - such as a black bag, and who (6) had the Ackroyd's study to himself for a few minutes after the crime was discovered while Parker was telephoning for the police. In fact - Mister Doctor Sheppard !
...
This september week of 2010 (Monday 13/09/2010 - Sunday 19/09/2010) is very markable.
The night between 16/09/1926 (Thursday) and 17/09/1926 (Friday) is the night Miss Ferrars committed suicide. At 20:45 Doctor Sheppard killed Roger Ackroyd. The investigation began immediately.
The day 16/09/2010 is the Thursday too. The day 17/09/2010 is the Friday too.
You can drive to conclusion on your own.....
Next time this coincidence will take place only in the year 2021 - we will wait 11 years.
