...Mrs.
Salmon returned home. Last events shocked her and she tried to remember
anything that would confirm the truthfulness of her words. Mrs. Salmon began to
remember details of a killer, but nothing attended her. She decided to relax at
night and suddenly the woman woke up in a cold sweat because of the thought of
one very important detail. On the murderer’s face, illuminated by a street-lamp
that night, clearly stood out big scar. As soon as the sun rose Mrs. Salmon
rushed to the police station to meet with the officer.
"Officer,
how could I miss such an important detail? Murderer's face had a scar, a big
scar."
"Well,
Mrs. Salmon, I think that we need to check this."
The officer
decided to visit the twin brothers. When he entered the house, he saw that one of the
brothers quickly was gathering things in a suitcase. The officer approached, to
find out the reason for his hasty departure, looked into his frightened eyes,
and immediately noticed a scar on his face. The officer said the brothers were called
to the interrogation again because new evidence had been surfaced in the case. Suddenly
the man with the scar pushed the officer and tried to escape. But it was in
vain.
So the man was in the dock again, face to face with Mrs. Salmon. There
was nothing to deny. All the evidence was against him. The murderer confessed
everything, and said he was sorry about what had happened. In spite of that
punishment was inevitable, and he was convicted. So the game was up.
Lena, I like the way you think, but I wonder if the scar on Adams' face was so noticeable, why Mrs. Salmon hadn't remember it before. However,I like the end of the story. It was simple and clear, and Mrs. Salmon's inattention could be explained by her age.
ReplyDeleteIf there was such a conspicuous difference between the twins' appearances, why hasn't the prosecutor mentioned it during the trial?
