„Inspector Cradock!“
He put his pen down, looking up, smiling. While most of the other police officers were not overly happy to see the elderly lady with her brilliant criminalistic instincts stepping into the office, he had to admit that he always enjoyed their conversations. „Miss Marple. Why am I not surprised to see you here?“
„You did arrest the wrong guy.“
Straightforward, as ever, inspector Cradock thought. „Everything counts against him.“
But Miss Marple shook her head. „Only when you ignore the fact that he was in love with her. I'm sure, he would never have been able to kill her in such a cruel way."
„Oh. He was in love with a domestic worker? What makes you think so?"
„Inspector! That's so obvious. I'm surprised that you didn't notice it.“
Inspector Cradock still smiled and pointed at the seat in front of his desk. „Would you like to have a cup of tea? You need to tell me more about your theory.“
