well how do we begin I'm the faintest

idea I told you I'm no detective I wanna

did sometimes I get so disgusted with

you I could well I almost we were in the

wrong place

anyway we know who killed Harper the

real mystery is who killed Holden

well we can practice looking for clues

here and go to the apartment later all

didn't hear a shot I don't know the size

of the wound Connor must have been shot

with a cannon and I'm not hard of

hearing oh well come along it's almost

7:
30 you know Greg something wrong with

this murder

the way you would be behaving mom would

think it was just a pleasant way to

spend the dollar after noon

seriously though there's something about

a lot of key it doesn't fit in with the

rest I don't know what you're raving

about is all cut and dried

Holden came into the reception room laid

low net officer Toccata I came in here

then he came in through that door and

blurry blurry return to his office

coming out to the reception room that's

it he came into the reception room and

went off to the reception room yeah

that's exactly what the second room is

our fault but there's a door from.

Holden's office leading into the

corridor so why should he pray pass the

smoke coming in past me going out well

what difference did it make

and another thing when they left the

office why does a dash out so suddenly I

know why Holden Lee did he went to

answer that telephone call

remember that accounts for Holden the

white is Carter scram first hmm oh oh he

probably had an uncontrollable desire

for a cannibal ice cream sundae that's

right yes cute just one on the verge of

a discovery come on is getting late I've

got it Carter heard that phone call -

over the extension his phone was off the

hook remember not fair mr. Evans not

fair

- get to with offices at the reserves

- outlet he bought us

We pull the piece and then grab me

alright sorry I have to do it

that's my stand there and let the

murderer scary come on in

Conway oh yes Tyson guarding out as he

told me when he found you snooping

around come on have a go hope I didn't

hurt you too much that you came at me so

quickly is it like a tiger I was pushed

correct solution to this mystery in his

own way he came here looking for

evidence and clues you're kind of a big

boy to be playing cops and robbers

coroner's preliminary report it is the

opinion of the examiner that the

deceased met death between 2:00 and 3:00

o'clock in the afternoon
