As we 366 00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:09.879 stood there in the moonlight, the sounds of music we 367 00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:11.000 heard from the casino. 368 00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:14.320 It was hard to believe that two men have died 369 00:15:14.480 --> 00:15:17.200 in that lovely garden since the moon had risen. 370 00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:24.720 Monsieur Olmes, you and. 371 00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:27.000 Doctor Watson have concluded your examination. 372 00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:29.879 Yes, Inspector Ganniver, you favor me with your observations. 373 00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:32.039 You say that you are certain that this is not 374 00:15:32.240 --> 00:15:33.080 another suicide. 375 00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:34.960 I'm sure of, Inspector.

Why, Monsieur well for two. 382 00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:53.200 Reasons, though it's impossible to be sure without elaborate retest. 383 00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:57.440 I'm certain beneath those bloodstains are stains of red ink. 384 00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:01.480 Look for your self, Inspector. Indeed, he does look like it. 385 00:16:01.879 --> 00:16:04.000 What is your other reason for being certain that this 386 00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:06.879 man was shot as he lay here pretending dead. 387 00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:09.440 I showed the bank notes, Watson, Inspector. 388 00:16:09.519 --> 00:16:12.120 We found them stuffed in his breast pocket. 389 00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:15.480 So bank notes with a bullet hole through the middle 390 00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:19.159 of them very illuminating. They tell me, gentlemen, how many 391 00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:19.840 people knew. 392 00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:21.360 Of this little plot? 393 00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:23.399 You have told me about this plan of the dead 394 00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:25.000 man's to pretend to be shot? 395 00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:28.360 Just three people inspected Dr Watson, myself and missus Gilbert Lord. 396 00:16:28.440 --> 00:16:30.799 Then the answer is obvious. You and your friend are innocent. 397 00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:33.000 It must be the wife who killed him. No one 398 00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:33.879 else knew of the plan. 399 00:16:34.159 --> 00:16:36.320 I'm not so sure of that, for osh name and 400 00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:38.320 the dead German's widow was in the next room when 401 00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:40.039
