Neues vom Hexer Page #2

---

- Sure.

Are you feeling sick?

- No, no.

In your place I wouldn't feel well.

What do you mean?

- The recording was very convincing.

It was the shot.

It was the voice that we heard.

The killer is not the Hexer, Archie.

Why not?

Who needed the shot and

the scream on tape?

The person, Archie,

who needs an alibi.

You!

How much would it take Inspector

Wesby to figure that?

I am afraid, you are in bad situation.

Depends on what answers you will

give to certain questions.

You might run out of time

to come up with answers.

There a two persons,

you should be afraid of, Archie.

Inspector Wesby and the Hexer.

Where will they look for you?

Here!

And you?

I warn you.

Pardon, Mylady, I love those animals.

They need food.

That's work,

I prefer to do.

Aren't you making a mistake, Mr. Bailey?

- What mistake do you refer to?

Take a seat,please.

- Thank you.

How long have been Lord Curtains' Lawyer?

- Since 15 years, Mylady.

Due to the confidence,

the Lord showed to me.

Confidence and friendship.

- Provided he felt that way.

Oh, sorry.

What did I wrong?

- Your visits became less.

You don't show enough sympathy.

Lady Curtain misses your advice.

In what matter? Would you like a drink?

- No, thanks!

My husband's killer is still not caught.

- Scotland Yard suspects Archie Moore.

he is untraceable.

Can you explain that?

Can you?

He has friends who hide him.

Probably.

Visit me again.

- I will, Mylady.

You don't need to show me the way.

You love these animals.

You have to feed them.

How much longer with Archie, Doctor?

Less than 12 hours.

It's weird.

For every singel model,

I see another colour.

When I see you, I see red.

Hey! Red means love.

No. Red means blood!

Crime. I assiociate with every colour

a certain idea.

I was, and that's long ago...

- Please keep sitting.

Of course, yes. I was, and that's long ago,

just a common pickpocket!

Therefore, to see me in red, is unfair.

What's about blue or green?

I don't know about green.

- Another try, huh?

It's open.

Good day, Miss Fielding.

- Hello. Get comfy, please.

Oh, what are doing here, Finch?

Do you realize who that is?

You just said it: Mr. Finch.

Recommended by Mr. Milton.

He asked for a portrait. And he'll get it.

In red. So, enough for today.

When do you want to mark time again?

- Could you rephrase that?

I dislike "mark time".

- Well, when does suit you?

I'd like to say:
Tomorrow.

Inspector, do you like the picture?

Flattering.

- My first portrait!

So far there are only photos of me.

- I know the photos. Not pleasing.

because your photograph are dilettantes!

Good Bye.

Why did you go to Scotland Yard?

What did you intend?

Isn't that normal?

Murder in the family!

Did you get Archie Moore? Wasn't it him?

- Don't know. We didn't get him.

I know my cousin Archie.

He never did anything by free will.

And that is why

you should ask yourself:

What's behind that. Or who.

Do you have a theory? - No.

Why not?

- May I ask something, too?

You are the niece of Lord Curtain.

You live in this relatively...

cheap neighbourhood. How come?

- My uncle, Inspector,

was one of England's richest men.

And alike most rich men...

he had a bad habit:

He paid, but you had to obey.

I didn't want to obey,

so he didn't want to pay.

You hated him, huh?

- He was a pain. He was mean,

arrogant and treacherous. - The obituary

in the "Times" sounds more benevolent.

Yes, but untrue. Do you have time?

- Yes, why, of course?

I just want to change clothes.

I have been thinking about a motif

and did find one. - And what motif?

his wealth, of course.

Poor relatives are the worst people.

The murders will go on, Inspector.

Lady Curtain is next, I guess.

Oh...

What are you doing here?

- There is mold on the wall.

I am from the public health authority.

Take a deep breath. Hold it.

Cough. You are alright. - And me?

You are alright as well.

You are twins, aren't you?

Thanks, Edwards.

- Good evening, Lady Aston.

Are we disturbing. May I?

- Hello, Margie.

You wanted to never enter this house again.

- Circumstances, dear aunt.

Did you question Margie?

- No, Mylady.

When it comes to murder,

I want to get to know the victim.

Only people who knew him

can help me.

Margie hated her uncle.

- I told it to the Inspector already.

Lord Curtain was an honourable man.

- No doubt but...

supposedly he also had enemies.

- Like any honourable man.

How about you, Mylady? I mean,

how was your relation?

I admired him.

- Always?

Almost always.

- Do you have any property, Mylady?

Is that a questioning?

- Not yet.

But it may turn into one.

- Lady Aston possesses as much as I do.

She just manages it better.

- but not to my advantage.

Did you never regret that? - No, Margie.

You hated him as well. Admit!

I am a different generation.

I learned to be more considerate.

Considering the family?

Is is possible

that you hide something, Mylady?

I just don't know what

you are interested in.

Lord Curtain's money, perhaps.

Actually, how much would that be?

It's so much that one cannot even tell.

Well, whoever gets,

won't have to worry.

And... who will get it?

- Why, Lady Curtain, of course.

Where is she Lady Curtain now?

- In her room. She is asleep.

Where is Charles?

Why do you ask for Charles?

- Why?

Oh, he is not here?

- We preferred...

Charles to be elsewhere.

- Who preferred that?

I did.

- For what reason?

Something else, Mylady?

Yes, Edwards. Would you make tea?

- Of course, Mylady.

For what reason?

Excuse me, Inspector.

That same evening Edwards asked:

"Something else, Mylady?! '.

And the clock stroked. Just like now.

We did sit at the table overthere

and played cards.

We had to wait. Archie left for outside.

He left for outside? For how long?

For about 3 minutes.

- You never said that before.

I remembered it just now.

So, he came back after 3 minutes.

Did you notice anything suspicious?

His behaviour. His...

- His hands were shaking.

"Such a good hand, Archie?! ', I asked.

But he didn't answer.

He looked like waiting for something.

What for? What for?

He waited for

A doctor, Mylady!

Lady Curtain.

We need a doctor.

Dr. Mills, Mylady.

You are too late, Dr. Mills.

Lady Curtain is dead.

Let me see her.

- Here, Doctor.

Come.

After you.

Ts.

That's it.

Shot right the heart.

Seems llike murder, Sir.

Who are you, btw?

You don't know me? - Police.

I am Inspector Wesby.

FRom Scotland Yard...

Dr. Mills.

Did you find the murderer?

- No. I was here while it happened,

but didn't get the killer.

Still, I don't even know him.

Not really convincing for

an officer. - No, not really.

Are you his doctor?

Yes. Why?

One question:
I'd like to know

what's your opinion about all that.

Honestly?

- Absolutely.

You are a good man. I am glad

that you ask for my opinion.

Of course, Doctor.

Somebody tries to

kill all the family.

Is that why you took Charles away?

- Why should I verify that?
