:34:02
Again, perhaps.
:34:05
Inspector, may I ask you a question?
:34:08
Please do.
:34:10
If you had simply found that note
in the victim's dressing room
:34:14
and knew no more about it, what would
you have made of the affair?
:34:18
The man was being blackmailed
and had decided to end it all.
:34:23
Yes, that's what I thought.
:34:27
It could be that the note was left on
purpose, so you would think that.
:34:33
Miss Marple, it's been a long day.
What are you suggesting now?
:34:38
I am suggesting that the murderer
of Mrs McGinty
:34:42
and the murderer of George Rowton are
one and the same.
:34:48
As to who murdered George Rowton,
I don't yet know... but I will.
:34:52
As to who murdered Mrs McGinty,
I do know.
:34:55
He is being held in Milchester jail
awaiting a retrial,
:34:58
necessitated by the stubbornness
of a certain member of the jury.
:35:02
He killed her for her money.
:35:04
Ah, yes, that £100
that was found by her body...
:35:09
Doesn't it occur to you, Inspector,
:35:12
that it wasn't Mrs McGinty's savings
at all, but her pay-off?
:35:16
So whoever she was blackmailing
brought the money, killed her,
:35:21
then hearing the lodger,
left her behind in panic?
:35:24
- No.
- Well then, what?
:35:26
I propose that, like the note,
:35:28
the money was left behind
deliberately.
:35:31
What for?
:35:32
Obviously so that the police
would leap to the conclusion
:35:36
they have leapt to.
:35:40
Miss Marple...
:35:41
If I were you, I would examine
the bank accounts of these people
:35:46
to see if one of them
happened to withdraw £100,
:35:49
either on or about the time
of Mrs McGinty's death.
:35:53
I will investigate your theories.
:35:56
In the meantime, please go home
to Milchester and stay there.
