"
To
begin
with
,
one
must
look
at
the
thing
logically
"
"
Just
what
my
poor
Hastings
used
to
say
,
"
interrupted
Poirot
,
"
but
alas
!
he
never
did
so
.
"
"
Point
No
.

.
–
Mr
.
Ackroyd
was
heard
talking
to
someone
at
half
-
past
nine
.
"
Point
No
.

.
–
At
some
time
during
the
evening
Ralph
Paton
must
have
come
in
through
the
window
,
as
evidenced
by
the
prints
of
his
shoes
.
"
Point
No
.

.
–
Mr
.
Ackroyd
was
nervous
that
evening
,
and
would
only
have
admitted
someone
he
knew
.

Point
No

.
–
The
person
with
Mr
.
Ackroyd
at
nine
-
thirty
was
asking
for
money
.
We
know
Ralph
Paton
was
in
a
scrape
.
"
These
four
points
go
to
show
that
the
person
with
Mr
.
Ackroyd
at
nine
-
thirty
was
Ralph
Paton
.
But
we
know
that
Mr
.
Ackroyd
was
alive
at
a
quarter
to
ten
,
therefore
it
was
not
Ralph
who
killed
him
.
Ralph
left
the
window
open
.
Afterwards
the
murderer
came
in
that
way
.
"
"
And
who
was
the
murderer
?
"
inquired
Poirot
.
"
The
American
stranger
.
He
may
have
been
in
league
with
Parker
,
and
possibly
in
Parker
we
have
the
man
who
blackmailed
Mrs
.
Ferrars
.
If
so
,
Parker
may
have
heard
enough
to
realize
the
game
was
up
,
have
told
his
accomplice
s0
,
and
the
latter
did
the
crime
with
the
dagger
which
Parker
gave
him
.
"
"
It
is
a
theory
that
,
"
admitted
Poirot
.
"
Decidedly
you
have
tells
of
a
kind
.
But
it
leaves
a
good
deal
unaccounted
for
.
"
"
Such
as
"
"
The
telephone
call
,
the
pushed
-
out
chair
"
"
Do
you
really
think
that
latter
important
?
"
I
interrupted
.
"
Perhaps
not
,
"
admitted
my
friend
.
"
It
may
have
been
pulled
out
by
accident
,
and
Raymond
or
Blunt
may
have
shoved
it
into
place
unconsciously
under
the
stress
of
emotion
.
Then
there
is
the
missing
forty
pounds
.
"
"
Given
by
Ackroyd
to
Ralph
,
"
I
suggested
.
"
He
may
have
reconsidered
his
first
refusal
.
"
"
That
still
leaves
one
thing
unexplained
.
"
"
What
?
"
"
Why
was
Blunt
so
certain
in
his
own
mind
that
it
was
Raymond
with
Mr
.
Ackroyd
at
nine
-
thirty
?
"
"
He
explained
that
,
"
I
said
.

"
You
think
so
?
I
will
not
press
the
point
.
Tell
me
,
instead
,
what
were
Ralph
Paton
’
s
reasons
for
disappearing
?
"
"
That
’
s
rather
more
difficult
,
"
I
said
slowly
.
"
I
shall
have
to
speak
as
a
medical
man
.
Ralph
’
s
nerves
must
have
gone
phut
!
If
he
suddenly
found
out
that
his
uncle
had
been
murdered
within
a
few
minutes
of
his
leaving
him
–
after
,
perhaps
,
a
rather
stormy
interview
–
well
,
he
might
get
the
wind
up
and
clear
right
out
.
Men
have
been
known
to
do
that
–
act
guiltily
when
they
’
re
perfectly
innocent
.
"
"
Yes
,
that
is
true
,
"
said
Poirot
.
"
But
we
must
not
lose
sight
of
one
thing
.
"
"
I
know
what
you
’
re
going
to
say
,
"
I
remarked
:
"
motive
.
Ralph
Paton
inherits
a
great
fortune
by
his
uncle
’
s
death
.
"
"
That
is
one
motive
,
"
agreed
Poirot
.
"
One
?
"
"
Mais
oui
.
Do
you
realize
that
there
are
three
separate
motives
staring
us
in
the
face
.
Somebody
certainly
stole
the
blue
envelope
and
its
contents
.
That
is
one
motive
.
