"Look, if it makes you feel any better, I'll pay you. I've still got money left from our last two cases."
"What, the crazy bank robber and the Ming Poodle we never worked out the theft of?"
"Actually, I worked out how Craper stole it."
"Hmm?"
"You see, Buttes never told us that after the wedding the door was mysteriously broken down."
"You just made that up."
"No, he actually broke down the door."
"So where's my half of the bonus for working that out?"
"Like I said, I'll pay you for solving this case."
"But who'll pay you?"
"I was talking quietly with Marple and she said she'd give any amount of money for this case to be solved already."
"And she has money?"
"You'd be surprised how much the royalties of the Agatha Christie books adds up to."
"Aah, whatever," Hugh said. "Let's get this bloody thing over and done with already."
twelve interviewed suspects later, Hugh and Ben were answerless. On the bright side though, they only had 13 people left on the list.
"Ooh, 13. ominous," Ben said.
"What?" Hugh asked, unable to hear the narrative.
"There's 13 people left on our list."
"So there are. Let's go and interview another one."
"Good idea!"
