Therefore
your
words
were
intended
to
force
a
confession
from
the
unknown
murderer
?
"
Poirot
nodded
approvingly
.
"
A
clever
idea
,
but
not
the
truth
.
"
"
I
thought
,
perhaps
,
that
by
making
him
believe
you
knew
,
you
might
force
him
out
into
the
open
–
not
necessarily
by
confession
.
He
might
try
to
silence
you
as
he
formerly
silenced
Mr
.
Ackroyd
–
before
you
could
act
tomorrow
morning
.
"
"
A
trap
with
myself
as
the
bait
!
Merci
,
man
ami
,
but
I
am
not
sufficiently
heroic
for
that
.
"
"
Then
I
fail
to
understand
you
.
Surely
you
are
running
the
risk
of
letting
the
murderer
escape
by
thus
putting
him
on
his
guard
?
"
Poirot
shook
his
head
.
"
He
cannot
escape
,
"
he
said
gravely
.
"
There
is
only
one
way
out
–
and
that
way
does
not
lead
to
freedom
.
"
"
You
really
believe
that
one
of
those
people
here
tonight
committed
the
murder
?
"
I
asked
incredulously
.
"
Yes
,
my
friend
.
"
"
Which
one
?
"
There
was
a
silence
for
some
minutes
.
Then
Poirot
tossed
the
stump
of
his
cigarette
into
the
grate
and
began
to
speak
in
a
quiet
,
reflective
tone
.
"
I
will
take
you
the
way
that
I
have
travelled
myself
.
Step
by
step
you
shall
accompany
me
,
and
see
for
yourself
that
all
the
facts
point
indisputably
to
one
person
.
Now
,
to
begin
with
,
there
were
two
facts
and
a
little
discrepancy
in
time
which
especially
attracted
my
attention
.
The
first
fact
was
the
telephone
call
.
If
Ralph
Paton
were
indeed
the
murderer
,
the
telephone
call
became
meaningless
and
absurd
.
Therefore
,
I
said
to
myself
,
Ralph
Paton
is
not
the
murderer
.
"
I
satisfied
myself
that
the
call
could
not
have
been
sent
by
anyone
in
the
house
,
yet
I
was
convinced
that
it
was
amongst
those
present
on
the
fatal
evening
that
I
had
to
look
for
my
criminal
.
Therefore
I
concluded
that
the
telephone
call
must
have
been
sent
by
an
accomplice
.
I
was
not
quite
pleased
with
that
deduction
,
but
I
let
it
stand
for
the
minute
.
"
I
next
examined
the
motive
for
the
call
.
That
was
difficult
.
I
could
only
get
at
it
by
judging
its
result
.
Which
was
–
that
the
murder
was
discovered
that
night
instead
ofin
all
probability
–
the
following
morning
.
You
agree
with
that
?
"
"
Ye
-
es
,
"
I
admitted
.
"
Yes
.
As
you
say
,
Mr
.
Ackroyd
,
having
given
orders
that
he
was
not
to
be
disturbed
,
nobody
would
have
been
likely
to
go
to
the
study
that
night
.
"
"
Tres
bien
.
The
affair
marches
,
does
it
not
?
But
matters
were
still
obscure
.
What
was
the
advantage
of
having
the
crime
discovered
that
night
in
preference
to
the
following
morning
?
The
only
idea
I
could
get
hold
of
was
that
the
murderer
,
knowing
the
crime
was
to
be
discovered
at
a
certain
time
,
could
make
sure
of
being
present
when
the
door
was
broken
in
–
or
at
any
rate
immediately
afterwards
.
And
now
we
come
to
the
second
fact
–
the
chair
pulled
out
from
the
wall
.
Inspector
Raglan
dismissed
that
as
of
no
importance
.
I
,
on
the
contrary
,
have
always
regarded
it
as
of
supreme
importance
.
"
In
your
manuscript
you
have
drawn
a
neat
little
plan
of
the
study
.
If
you
had
it
with
you
this
minute
you
would
see
that
–
the
chair
being
drawn
out
in
the
position
indicated
by
Parker
–
it
would
stand
in
a
direct
line
between
the
door
and
the
window
.
"
"
The
window
!
"
I
said
quickly
.
