Murder At Marple Manor: Chapter XXI

Hugh Hamilton

"He was the first person there, as I said."
"That's not proof!" protested Hugh.
"Well, why else would he be so anxious to get to the body? Most people moved a few steps back when they saw him fall."
"Actually I think it was he was taking Summons's wallet."
"What? How do you know?"
"The wallet shaped thing covered in blood that happened to be in his hand as he inspected the body."
"Maybe he killed him to get his wallet."
"No one kills anyone for a wallet."
"Unless," said Ben, "there was something of enormous value in his wallet."
"Yeah but still, I think we're barking up the wrong tree."
