Signor
Ascanio
was
arrested
and
charged
with
the
murder
of
Count
Foscatini
.
When
arrested
,
he
denied
knowing
the
Count
,
and
declared
he
had
never
been
near
Regent
’
s
Court
either
on
the
evening
of
the
crime
or
on
the
previous
morning
.
The
younger
man
had
disappeared
entirely
.
Signor
Ascanio
had
arrived
alone
at
the
Grosvenor
Hotel
from
the
Continent
two
days
before
the
murder
.
All
efforts
to
trace
the
second
man
failed
.
Ascanio
,
however
,
was
not
sent
for
trial
.
No
less
a
personage
than
the
Italian
Ambassador
himself
came
forward
and
testified
at
the
police
-
court
proceedings
that
Ascanio
had
been
with
him
at
the
Embassy
from
eight
till
nine
that
evening
.
The
prisoner
was
discharged
.
Naturally
,
a
lot
of
people
thought
that
the
crime
was
a
political
one
,
and
was
being
deliberately
hushed
up
.
Poirot
had
taken
a
keen
interest
in
all
these
points
.
Nevertheless
,
I
was
somewhat
surprised
when
he
suddenly
informed
me
one
morning
that
he
was
expecting
a
visitor
at
eleven
o
’
clock
,
and
that
that
visitor
was
none
other
than
Ascanio
himself
.
“
He
wishes
to
consult
you
?
”
“
Du
tout
,
Hastings
.
I
wish
to
consult
him
.
”
“
What
about
?
”
“
The
Regent
’
s
Court
murder
.
”
“
You
are
going
to
prove
that
he
did
it
?
”
“
A
man
cannot
be
tried
twice
for
murder
,
Hastings
.
Endeavour
to
have
the
common
sense
.
Ah
,
that
is
our
friend
’
s
ring
.
