Half
an
hour
later
saw
Poirot
,
myself
,
and
Inspector
Raglan
in
the
train
on
the
way
to
Liverpool
.
The
inspector
was
clearly
very
excited
.
"
We
may
get
a
line
on
the
blackmailing
part
of
the
business
,
if
on
nothing
else
,
"
he
declared
jubilantly
.
"
He
’
s
a
rough
customer
,
this
fellow
,
by
what
I
heard
over
the
phone
.
Takes
dope
,
too
.
We
ought
to
find
it
easy
to
get
what
we
want
out
of
him
.
If
there
was
the
shadow
of
a
motive
,
nothing
’
s
more
likely
than
that
he
killed
Mr
.
Ackroyd
.
But
in
that
case
,
why
is
young
Paton
keeping
out
of
the
way
.
The
whole
thing
’
s
a
muddle
–
that
’
s
what
it
is
.
By
the
way
,
M
.
Poirot
,
you
were
quite
right
about
those
fingerprints
.
They
were
Mr
.
Ackroyd
’
s
own
.
I
had
rather
the
same
idea
myself
,
but
I
dismissed
it
as
hardly
feasible
.
"
I
smiled
to
myself
.
Inspector
Raglan
was
so
very
plainly
saving
his
face
.
"
As
regard
this
man
,
"
said
Poirot
,
"
he
is
not
yet
arrested
,
eh
?
"
"
No
,
detained
under
suspicion
.
"
"
And
what
account
does
he
give
of
himself
?
"
"
Precious
little
,
"
said
the
inspector
,
with
a
grin
.
"
He
’
s
a
wary
bird
,
I
gather
.
A
lot
of
abuse
,
but
very
little
more
.
"
On
arrival
at
Liverpool
I
was
surpised
to
find
that
Poirot
was
welcomed
with
acclamation
.
Superintendent
Hayes
,
who
met
us
,
had
worked
with
Poirot
over
some
case
long
ago
,
and
had
evidently
an
exaggerated
opinion
of
his
powers
.
"
Now
we
’
ve
got
M
.
Poirot
here
we
shan
’
t
be
long
,
"
he
said
cheerfully
.
"
I
thought
you
’
d
retired
,
moosior
?
"
"
So
I
had
,
my
good
Hayes
,
so
I
had
.
But
how
tedious
is
retirement
!
You
cannot
imagine
to
yourself
the
monotony
with
which
day
comes
after
day
.
"
"
Very
likely
.
So
you
’
ve
come
to
have
a
look
at
our
own
particular
find
?
Is
this
Dr
Sheppard
?
Think
you
’
ll
be
able
to
identify
him
,
sir
?
"
"
I
’
m
not
very
sure
,
"
I
said
doubtfully
.
"
How
did
you
get
hold
of
him
?
"
inquired
Poirot
.
"
Description
was
circulated
,
as
you
know
.
In
the
press
and
privately
.
Not
much
to
go
on
,
I
admit
.
This
fellow
has
an
American
accent
all
right
,
and
he
doesn
’
t
deny
that
he
was
near
King
’
s
Abbot
that
night
.
Just
asks
what
the
hell
it
is
to
do
with
us
,
and
that
he
’
ll
see
us
in
–
before
he
answers
any
questions
.
"
"
Is
it
permitted
that
I
,
too
,
see
him
?
"
asked
Poirot
.
The
superintendent
closed
one
eye
knowingly
.
"
Very
glad
to
have
you
,
sir
.
You
’
ve
got
permission
to
do
anything
you
please
.
Inspector
Japp
of
Scotland
Yard
was
asking
after
you
the
other
day
.
Said
he
’
d
heard
you
were
connected
unofficially
with
this
case
.
Where
’
s
Captain
Paton
hiding
,
sir
,
can
you
tell
me
that
?
"
"
I
doubt
if
it
would
be
wise
at
the
present
juncture
,
"
said
Poirot
primly
,
and
I
bit
my
lips
to
prevent
a
smile
.
The
little
man
really
did
it
very
well
.
