 It's a repository of death. Yes, here in the Grimm's stone structure on the Thames, which houses Scotland Yard, is a warehouse of homicide. For everyday objects, a glass ash tray, a porcelain vase, and an electric fan. All, untouched by murder, might be a bar on a gravel driveway. It might rest at midnight. In this case, remember this, Bosbin? Hey, of course, Inspector. You knew, didn't you? We just about then closed the file on the tell. Killing? Yes, you told me. It's just as well as no statute of limitations on murder. Mother died when I was really little. I hardly knew her. Mother, only myself. I was in knowledge. Yes, I think. To give a form, Mr. Anderson, doesn't it? I don't like it at all. It would be quite a few facts in Manchester to see myself. Heresy was hit on the sidewalk. Looked as if some drunk had driven up. The teacher you don't find nowadays. I know exactly what you mean, ma'am. And she was so happy that day, what would her cousin be near the day before and all. She called. She was going out for a bit of cake for tea. Now that her cousin, Michael Stroud, had come to see her. And your name? Her mother, Alison. And then I had the address. Found an envelope in the waste paper basket while I was clearing out the poor things. I was so busy with their buses and dusting everything to print sites. Yes, yes, yes, of course. Now that is under which she inherits her property, state to whom that property divided in the event of her death. Not exactly. That is, if she dies and tests it, the property under the law would pass to a next of kin in equal shares, of course. And Mr. Thomas, with all her second cousin dead, a third cousin would be next in line? Correct me, absolutely. Of course, I know of no such relatives, sir. Unfortunately, sir, we do. His name is Michael Stroud. His whereabouts at present are unknown. The community now appeased at least three times in Manchester. I'm due to see you again. Very difficult. Absolutely. You were? To me tonight, was he? And I'm very good at hiding. Haven't yet eaten or cussed. You'll be gagged, too, I forgot to mention.
