High Tide _ Agatha Christie

"Thank you." Spence took a cigarette and waited. David put his hand into his pocket and held it out gently. He frowned, looked around, picked up a box of matches and lit the inspector's cigarette.

"Thank you." Spence took a cigarette and waited. David put his hand into his pocket and held it out gently. He frowned, looked around, picked up a box of matches and lit the inspector's cigarette. Thank you, sir. "Oh," David said softly as he lit his cigarette, "what's the matter with Wensley? Is our chef dealing with the black market? She prepared a lot of delicious food for us, so I always suspected that there was something wrong behind it. "Things are not so easy," said the inspector. "A man died at the Steiger Hotel last night. Perhaps you saw the news in the newspaper? David shook his head. I didn't notice. What happened to him? Not only is he dead, but he was murdered. To be honest, he was beaten over the head with a club. Rosalyn let out a suppressed scream. David immediately said, "Inspector, please don't mention too many details. My sister is very fragile. She can't control herself.". If you mention anything horrible like bleeding, she'll probably pass out. "Oh, I'm sorry,plastic bulk containers," said the inspector. "It was a murder, but there was no blood." He paused, and David raised his eyebrows and said softly, "Interesting.". What does this have to do with us? 'i Hope you can tell us something about the dead man, Mr Hunter. ' "Me?" You went to see him last Saturday night. His name, or the name under which he was registered # 8212; # 8212; is ENARCO # 183; Arden 。” "Oh,mobile garbage bin, yes, I remember." David's voice was calm and unperturbed. How's it going? Mr. Hunter. I'm sorry, inspector, but I'm afraid I can't help you. I know almost nothing about this man. "His name is really Enacor # 183; Arden." ?” "I doubt it." "Why did you go to see him?" "It's not the same old bad luck story.". "He mentions places, wartime experiences, people." David shrugged. "I suspect it's hearsay. It's nonsense." Did you give him any money? Sir After a very brief silence, David then said, "Only five pounds for him …" Lucky for him, he did fight in the war. "He mentioned something.." Someone you know? "Yes." "Is there any of them, Colonel Robert Underhay?" ?” The inspector's words finally had an effect. David's attitude stiffened, collapsible bulk container ,collapsible pallet box, and Rosalyn let out a gasp of consternation behind him. Why do you think that? Inspector. David finally asked. His eyes were very cautious, as if he were detecting something. According to the information I received. Replied the inspector dully. There was a brief silence, in which the inspector knew that David's eyes were testing him, measuring him, trying to figure out what was going on, but he just waited in silence. 。“ Do you know who Rob Underhay is? ? Inspector. David asked. You might as well tell me, sir. "He was my sister's ex-husband and died in Africa a few years ago." Are you absolutely sure? Mr. Hunter. Spence asked quickly. Absolutely sure. Is it right? Rosalyn. He turned to look at her. Yes, "she gasped at once." Rob died of fever and blackwater fever 。 It's so sad. "But some people say that's not the case, Mrs. Crood." She did not answer, nor did she look at him, but at her brother. 。 After a while, she said, "Rob is dead." "From what I've been told," said the inspector, "this Enneco Arden claims to be the late Rob. # 183; Friend of Underhay He also told you, Mr. Hunter, Rob! Underhay is not dead. 。” David shook his head. "Nonsense," he said. "Complete nonsense.". ” Are you sure you didn't mention Rob Underhay in the conversation? ?” "Oh," David smiled charmingly. "Mentioned that the poor guy knew Underhay." He didn't mention that he was going to. Blackmail you? Mr. Hunter. "Blackmail?"? I don't know what you mean, inspector. Do you really not understand? Mr. Hunter. By the way, this is just a routine investigation. Where were you last night? About, uh, between seven and eleven. What if I refuse to answer? Inspector. Don't you think it's childish to do that? Mr. Hunter. I don't think so. I don't like it. I never like to be bullied. 。” The inspector thought, This may be true. He's had witnesses like David Hunter before. 。 Such people are in the way, not because they have something to hide. But merely ask them to account for their whereabouts seem to have seriously injured their self-respect and made them very unhappy. They often say they want to pursue it to the end. Inspector Spence, though self-righteous, came to the House of the Shepherd still convinced that David Hunter was the murderer. 。 But now for the first time he felt less sure, and David's boyish challenge made him doubt himself. Spence, look at Rosalyn Crood. She responded immediately. David, don't you tell him it's all right? "It's Wen, Mrs. Cloade. We just want to make things clear." David Zulu interrupted him, "Don't bully my sister, do you hear me?"? What does it matter to you where I am? Spence said in a warning tone, "The interrogation will send you,foldable bulk container, Mr. Hunter, and you will have to answer." Then I'll wait for the trial! Now can you get out of here? "Very well, sir." The inspector stood up calmly. "But I have one more thing to ask Mrs. Crood." "I don't want my sister to worry." 。 cnplasticpallet.com
