Mrs. Smith went to the news-stand because she wanted
to buy the evening newspaper. The newspaper seller looked at her because she
seemed to be nervous and her clothes and hands were dirty. ‘Do you know what
happened?’ he asked. Mrs. Smith kept silent. ‘Two vandals robbed the bank in Wye
Street last night!’ continued the man. ‘Oh, I don’t…’ said Mrs. Smith as she
left the news-stand.
She returned home and when she arrived to the top
floor, where they lived, she found her neighbours in the landing. Mr. Carter
said to her that they had heard some screams in their house 10 minutes ago and
he thought that they belonged to Mr. Smith. She began trembling and opened the
door.
They went straight to the bedroom, but it was locked. Mr.
Dupon knocked the door, but there was no answer. Then, Mrs. Smith took a key in
a drawer and opened the door. The shutters were closed and when Mr. Dupon
turned on the light they realized that there were drops of blood on the floor. ‘Mrs.
Smith!’ shouted Mr. Dupon. ‘What’s going on?’ she asked. ‘I think you shouldn’t
see this’ said Mr. Carter.
Mr. Smith had been killed and the murderer had hidden
his corpse under the bed. Mrs. Smith fainted when she watched her husband’s
corpse still bleeding on the floor. When she regained consciousness the police
was there.
-
Could
you tell us what happened? – asked a policewoman.
- No,
I couldn’t. I went to the news-stand ten minutes ago and my husband was
sleeping – answered Mrs. Smith.
- Some
neighbours have said that they heard voices inside this house about 10 minutes
ago – continued the policewoman.
- I
don’t... – said Mrs. Smith – as I’ve told you, I was out 10 minutes ago.
- When
we heard the screams we hurry to come upstairs. And when we arrived, Mr. Carter
was trying to open the door – said Mr. Dupon.
- Mr.
Carter is my husbands’ murderer! He has always hated us... he’s the murderer! –
shouted Mrs. Smith.
Mr. Carter didn’t have the chance to say anything. The
police officers arrested him and took him to jail.

Mrs.Smith was very mysterious. Her attitude was strange. I think she killed her husband and she accuses Dupon because he's the perfect murderer. She goes to the news-stand for ditract the police.

I agree with you 003, but the neighbours heard screams when Mrs. Smith was in the news-stand. She arrive when the neigbours were there. I think that she was very mysterious, but I don't think that she is the murderer because she didn't had time to go to the news-stand and after to the house and the shutters were closed and Celia said us that the shutters were normal
ResponderEliminarMr. Gray
The police didn't inspect the house, I think that the murderer is hidden somewhere in the house
ResponderEliminarMr. Gray
Where is the weapon of the crime?
ResponderEliminarMr. Gray
It could Be, but Mrs.Smith have something in the murder of her husband. I think when you lose your husband you act different.

ResponderEliminarBut how the police don't inspect the house . It's a murder!
ResponderEliminarI suppose the murderer have the weapon.

I think that we have to think how the murderer went out of the house and who was shoutting. Because the neighbours said that they heard voices. But Mr. Dupon isn't the murderer because he was outside and the voices were inside
ResponderEliminarMr. Gray
Hi! I'm Moon! Well, first, I agree with 003 because I think that the police inspected the house. Second, I agree with Mr. Gray too, is important know how the murderer went out because the neighbours were in the landing and they didn't see someone going out. If the door was locked and the shutters were closed we have to think possible exits. If he or she step on the drops of blood there can be marks on the floor. Poor Mr. Dupon, I think that he is innocent
EliminarMr. Dupon isn't the murderer because he is the killed person

I think that There isn't a murder, all was an accident.

But I agree with 003, too
ResponderEliminarBy Panchi
I'm croquettes and I think that the killed is Mr. Dupon but it could be an accident, I'm ageree with 003
ResponderEliminarI disagree with 003 and Mrs. Fatty because I don't think Mrs. Smith has been the one who murdered her husband. I don't think she faked her fainting. She just got atonished when she saw her husband´s corpse. In my opinion, Dupon was the murderer because, in all this kind of stories, the most unexpected character is the worst one.
ResponderEliminarBob.
Yeah! We didn't say anything about Mr. Dupon. But, he was outside in the landing with the other neighbours. The same problem, how did he go out?
ResponderEliminarMr. Gray
I meant Mr. Gray, not Mrs. Fatty. Sorry.
ResponderEliminarBob
I agree 003. If your husband is murdered, you go crazy. I think Mrs. Smithe is the murderer or the accompliced and she pretends her fainting.
