“So you found him here in your office?”
- Yes, Mr. Inspector. All this is so terrible. He was my best friend. Even the fact that he was in love with Gertrude (I'm talking about my bride) did not hinder our friendship. And suddenly such a misfortune.
- Oh well! Leave it alone. So you say that at the time when everything happened, you were at home?
“That was really so, Mr. Inspector.” I was at home. Suddenly a phone rang. I picked up the phone and heard the voice of my friend Paul, who was calling for help. Then something clicked, as if a pipe had fallen. However, the phone still continued to work. Thus, I was, so to speak, an involuntary witness to the incident. I hung up and immediately, without leaving my phone, hurried to call the police. And after that I immediately came here.
“Maybe all this seems to be true, but I will allow myself to disbelieve you.” All your testimony is false, and I am forced to arrest you on suspicion of murder.
Why did Inspector Varnike come to this conclusion?
