- but what? Waiter asked.
- These glasses ...
- What's wrong with the glasses?
- How do you not see anything strange?
- Well ...
- ; No, no let's leave it running. Carburetor my brain too fast trying to find a solution for crap sometimes ... this may be one of them. This vessel must be pure coincidence. Waiter I see you already have their suspects, well, their culpable in my spare time here. Corvino, let's get to use what theygiven day.
The ride to Latorre was deep in thought, so I hardly spoke. Knowing how I met Latorre, saw his face and his bright steely look like something does not suit him, but he knew that in that state was best not to interrupt his thinking machinery.
on the train was already absorbed, until, as if awakening from a dream, told me:
- Corvino will seem crazy, but I think it's crazyleave this mysterious case as Waiter says. Call me crazy if you want, but for many laps that I did not block me at all. If you already know that the honorable lady and her maid have left no doubt ... but there is something rotten to me.
- Do glasses?
- Exactly! Vessels. You know I like to start an investigation on my own, do not give me a case almost, not solved.I had begun by the vessels, which Camarero, has left almost sideways. I would have done so, and now delete it from your mind all the above by the lady, her maid, and waiter. Okay? Well here goes.
Thieves have performed two weeks ago a short distance, and according to the tabloids and the police seized a large haul, and how the crew acted leaving clear tracks in case anyone wanted to use this information as a plan. Most thieves, including these, when they give a good blow retire for a while by two things: one to calm down all the research and another to enjoy peace and quiet while planning the next move, do not risk giving another stroke and less so poco helpful as this, leaving a grañidísima amount of valuables in their power and murder to add to his already numerous crimes.
The crew is so to speak, professional. What professional assailant entered the house and punches to the tenant to not cry when it is more likely to shout by the punch and not by the shock? And finally it is unusual for people like this uncorking a fine wine and is not complete or is not will I still carry you Corvinus? What impressions you out of this?
- The truth that looked like this,dregs of wine had remember?
- Well that would be the last glass the one with the dregs.
- No, the bottle was in abundance as I set. And it is impossible that the first two vessels appear clean grounds and have only the last dregs and pretty. He concluded that there are only two options for that: one is that once filled the two glasses, to annoy the third, agitate violently bOtello, which is unlikely, is not it?
- And then what do you think?
- That only two glasses were used. And the dregs of both were dumped into the third vessel. To lend credibility to the hoax that were three people who were in the room. In that case, where would be the dregs? Exactly! In the last glass. And here comes the good because if as I argue, sunerdadero criminal. We have to start this out to unravel the tangle that is a bit messy. Waiter anger at him and us for ours. Corvino is this me?
- to infinity and beyond.
When the inhabitants of La Granja
Doménech appear again saw us they could not hide his surprise at seeing us again. We suerbecause you, Waiter was not in the house since it was has to inform his superiors of what was the case.
Latorre and I went straight to the room where the incident occurred. Everything was as we left it except, of course, the body of Mr Llamazares, who was not and in its place was a profile of a human figure on the floor painted with white chalk. Latorrelocked and immediately began to investigate freely. I sat in a comfortable wing chair and prepared to see, like so many times, the conscientious work of my friend. watch the window, the chair, the cord of the chair, the carpet with blood stains still fresh, the all right, Corvinus, well I'd say. Our chain of events that links almost all perfectly placed. Ah, if he had heeded Waiter! Go stupidity we had achieved.
- ¿Ya dio con los hombres? I said sitting up almost a jump-
-
- Now, dear Corvino, look at the spot of the chair on the seat. What do you think it is?
- Blood, no doubt.
Exactly, and her black dress will have to take a spot like this chair. We will have to bother the girl before leaving to see our letters do not think you like?
-
Of course I replied with a face full of wonder and veneration
The maid was presented to us in the face that drew Resque to us.
The girl was a woman with dark skin but radiant. Black eyes and big lashes accompanying the tigress. Its rounded features and leftover meat were to pass unnoticed detail that face was a very gracious lady.the beginning of the interview answered only in monosyllables, but Latorre, when he wished he could be a real Don Juan. Seeing as he saw that the girl would not tell anything new, deployed for several minutes a small barrage of compliments and jokes until I win the trustNZA of the maiden. the fourth time the girl and did not hide his hatred for his dead master.
- Yes sir, many times I had laid a hand on. In normal, face out, was a respected and wealthy man with noble titles. Inside the house was a demon. When he drank, and did so consistently, a person became hard, rough, rude, and violent. The times that I hit was always defend my Lady, whom I love more than my life because I know from almost birth. I do not care to receive if this prevented stick to my beloved samp; nbsp; If it was the first thing he did. Wine coaxed with the title, and being largest in Spain.
- Did you come directly or made any scale in the sea?
- We did not come directly into a steam schooner.
There was no answer when finished almost at the threshold of the door saw the sleek and imposing figure of the lady of the house. RapidlyThis time we finished, "she said Go back to the capital to the offices of Maritime Line Star.
-What you want. go there?
-the moment I'm not going to say ... just tell him that if there are what I seek, we must go to two other lines that have their headquarters in Madrid.
-CHOnaje fat with tiny glasses, that when we saw him come smiled gently and stood up to shake hands. Turns out I had a cousin working in the Ministry of Interior and had been much discussion of Latour, which the man was happy as a lark to know the Great Latorre, as he was known in political jokes. In just over twenty minutes, Latorre had all the information they wanted. In 1932, only two ships had come from Chile to Spain. "The Montenegro", as it was called the Vapor-was the ship that Ms. Llamazares had come to Spain. This was confirmed by the rotund head after searching the ship's passenger list. Right nowThe ship had left Lisbon with stops in Chile towards Cuba, Venezuela, and then through the Suez Canal would come to Chile. Latorre asked if the crew that sailed in was the same as when I arrive.
- Si. Are the same crew with the exception of second in command, D. José Maria Lasierra of Loscos. Since he has promoted to captain and will take the new ship
Polar Star. This will in ten days in Malaga in the direction of Rome and Athens. You must come and pick up some papers, but do not know when it will. CH TMLXC -
No, do not tell you anything about this interview, please. But I'd like to facilitate their service, if possible. -
- MLXC
When we got to our rooms and hung our coats and seated before the fireplace , Latorre came back to life so suddenly that I jumped in my chair. -
No, no and no. This is stronger than me. Once the indictment as nothing and no one could save this man. Once or twice in my career I have repented to discover the culprit and return it to the Law -
&; Nbsp; TELL ME WHAT? Mr. Latorre. -
Oops! Sorry Corvino, but is that why one or two times I have done more damage discovered to be a crime not to do so. Then Act is Act and that, dear friend are bigger things. I learned to be cautious and to these police.
- Is that anyand that it already has?
- More or less.
At that moment now close to nine-thirty of the night to our house Mr. Waiter a little upset. -
-
did not know.
- But in his note me "recommended" to register the pond
- And found Plate?
- If found. Nothing missing.
- Glad could help him sr. Waiter.
- But I said this has helped-flopping on the couch with his hands in his head " What thieves come to rob a house, tied the woman and killed her husband and then throw what they have stolen?
- &sa money at hand surely would have fallen into our hands. and leaving it in a safe at the pool no one would have imagined that there were stolen items. This sounds good, yes sir, it sounds good. -
I have to admit that a good theory, and I have to admit that in this case you Mr. Camarero won me by the hand. Camarero swelled like a balloon. As I looked puzzled Latorre. Was that what I had heard? "He recognized he had lost? I was amazed.
