Except Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
Well, what sort of a job did you make of it?
Ah, the question I asked myself was, how did the murderer get into the house and out again?
It must have been by the path and the garden door.
Otherwise, Susan would have run into him as she came downstairs.
So, I directed my attention to the garden path.
There'd be plenty of rain before the time of the murder, and there should certainly be signs of any footmarks.
And where, then?
There were no footmarks on the path.
So, I next examined the corridor.
It's lined with coconut matting, and it's taken no impression of any kind.
This brought me into the study itself.
It's a scantily furnished room.
The main article is a large writing table with a fixed bureau.
The drawers of the bureau were open.
But the cupboard between them, locked.
Had anything been tampered with?
The professor assured me that nothing was missing.
