She led the way quickly down the long corridor to the east end of the house. Sergeant Parker stood outside the library door. He stopped Mrs. Bantry unceremoniously. Ma’am, I’m afraid no one is allowed in here. This is the order of the police inspector. “Come, Palk,” said Mrs Bantry, “you know Miss Marple very well.” Sergeant Parke did not deny that he knew Miss Marple. “She must see the body,” said Mrs. Bantry. “Don’t be silly, Parker.”. This is my home after all, isn’t it? Sergeant Parke gave in. He has always been subservient to the superior. But he thought he must not let the governor of Jin know about it. Don’t touch anything. He warned the two ladies. Of course Said Mrs Bantry impatiently. ‘We understand that. You can follow me if you want. Sergeant Parke had to agree. He did want to follow. Mrs. Bantry triumphantly led her friend to the other side of the library, where there was a large old-fashioned fireplace. Then she said, like a dramatic climax: “Over there!” Miss Marple then understood what her friend had meant when she said that the dead woman was not real. The library is full of the characteristics of the owner. It was not only large,fish measuring tape, but old and untidy: a sunken armchair in the middle, a pipe on a large desk, books and property papers. There are one or two nice old family portraits on the walls, a few rough Victorian watercolors and a few self-satisfied hunting scenes. There is a big purple vase in the corner. Whole room light is dim, colour is downy,Wheel tape measure, decorate optional, show host reachs its age for a long time to its familiarity, still make a person associate all sorts of traditions. There was something lying across the hearthrug, novel, naked, exaggerated. This is a gorgeous woman. Her face was strewn with carefully curled and unnatural blonde hair, and her thin body was dressed in a backless white satin evening dress with sparkling sequins. The blue, Diameter tape measure ,cattle weight tape, puffy face looked strangely heaped with powder and heavy makeup; the twisted cheeks were covered with thick ointment, and the scarlet lips looked like a deep slit. The fingernails and toenails that peeped out of the cheap silver sandals were painted with blood-red polish. It was a shabby, gaudy, garish figure at odds with the rich, old-fashioned style of Colonel Bantry’s library. 。 Mrs. Bantry whispered: Do you understand what I mean? It’s not real at all. The old woman beside her nodded and gazed thoughtfully at the crouching corpse. At last she said softly: “She is very young.” Yes & # 8212; & # 8212; Y I think so. 。” Bantry is too big to be surprised. As if a new discovery had been made. Miss Marple bent down. She didn’t touch the woman. She looked at the woman’s fingers as she clutched her skirt. They seem to be in the final frantic struggle for life. Outside came the sound of a car grinding on the gravel. Sergeant Parke said hurriedly: “The inspector is here.” Indeed, as he believed, the upper class would not disappoint, and Mrs Bantry immediately went to the door, followed by Miss Marple. Mrs Bantry said: “Take it easy, Parker.” Police Parke breathed a sigh of relief. 6 Colonel Bantry hurried down the last piece of toast and jam with a mouthful of coffee, and hurried into the hall. He was relieved to see Colonel Melchett getting out of the car. Standing by at all times was the governor of Slack. Colonel Melchett was the chief constable of the county and a friend of Colonel Bantry. He never liked Slack & # 8212; & # 8212; an energetic A pompous person who disdains anyone he deems unimportant in his busyness. Good morning, Bantry. The police chief said, “I think I’d better come myself.”. This seems to be an extraordinary thing. “This & # 8212; & # 8212; This & # 8212; & # 8212; “Colonel Bantry did his best to confess.” Incredible & # 8212; Unbelievable! “” Do you know who this woman is? ” I don’t know at all. I have never seen her in my life.
” “What does the housekeeper know?” Asked Inspector Slack. Lorimer was as shocked as I was. “Oh, is it?” Lieutenant Slack said. Colonel Bantry said: Melchett, what would you like to eat? There is breakfast in the restaurant. “No, no.” & # 8212; & # 8212; Better get to work right away. 。 Haydock should be here by now. Here he is. Another car stopped in front of the house, and out of the car came the tall, broad-shouldered police doctor Haydock. Then two men in plain clothes, one with a camera in his hand, got out of another police car. Is everything ready? The police chief said, “Good.”. Let’s go inside. Slack told me in the library. Colonel Bantry snorted: “Incredible!”! You know, this morning my wife insisted that the maid came up and said there was a dead man in the library. I don’t believe it. Yes, I can totally understand that. I hope your wife is not too disturbed by all this. “She did a great job & # 8212; & # 8212; really great.” 。 She brought Miss Marple from the country. “Miss Marple?” The police chief was hurt. “Why did she invite her?” “Oh, does a woman need another woman?” Colonel Melchett chuckled: I think your wife wants the amateur detective to try his hand. Miss Marple is an excellent local detective. Once she had us all in. Isn’t that right, Slack? “It was different,” said Lieutenant Slack. Why is it different? “That’s a plan,horse weight tape, sir.”. It is true that the old lady knows everything about the country. But this time she’s a hero out of her element. Melchett said indifferently, “Slack, you don’t know what you’re going to do this time.” 。 tapemeasure.net
