[00:05.65] | They found Peter Hobbs under his car—an old green car. He got up slowly. |
[00:16.78] | He wore old blue trousers and a dirty orange shirt. |
[00:22.50] | 'We want to talk about Mrs Clarkson,' Inspector Walsh said. |
[00:29.70] | 'Oh, it's about her,' Peter said. He looked at the Inspector. |
[00:38.93] | 'I know she's dead. Someone in the village told me.' |
[00:45.25] | 'Why did you go to the Clarkson's house last night?' |
[00:51.44] | 'Jackie wanted me to come and see her brother, Roger.' |
[00:57.44] | “You're angry,” she said. “Come and tell Roger.” |
[01:02.59] | I went to the house but nobody opened the door. |
[01:08.91] | So I made a lot of noise and then they opened the door. |
[01:15.34] | Old Mrs Clarkson wasn't there. But I told Roger. I told them all!' |
[01:24.83] | Peter hit the car with his hand. 'I wanted to kill that woman. |
[01:32.75] | I lost my job, my first job, because of her. |
[01:39.83] | Last month I was in trouble with the police and |
[01:45.81] | that old woman wrote to my office and she told them about the police. |
[01:54.84] | I wanted to kill her!' 'Take it easy!' Inspector Walsh said. 'What happened next?' |
[02:05.97] | 'Jackie gave me some coffee, but her brother didn't listen to me,' Peter said angrily. |
[02:16.33] | 'Then Tom Briggs came in. He wanted to talk to Roger, too. |
[02:24.38] | But Roger didn't listen to him. Jackie was very unhappy—she nearly cried. |
[02:33.43] | Then I went home. That's all.' 'I see. Now tell me about the tablets. |
[02:46.56] | You went to the village on Thursday?' 'Tablets? Oh, yes. I remember. |
[02:57.05] | Jackie wanted me to get her mother's tablets from the village. |
[03:03.20] | I go to the village on my bicycle—this car doesn't work.' |
[03:10.64] | 'Thank you, Peter. That's all.' 'That's all?' Peter laughed angrily. |
[03:18.72] | 'You're going to come back, I know that! I know the police!' |
[03:26.91] | Tom Briggs' farm was about half a mile away, near the river. |
[03:36.48] | It was not a big farm, and the house was old and dirty. |
[03:43.04] | 'Not much money here,' Inspector Walsh said. |
[03:47.99] | Tom Briggs was a young man, about thirty years old, with dirty hands and bad teeth. |
[03:58.34] | 'What's wrong? Excuse me, I'm eating my dinner,' he said. |
[04:05.41] | 'We can wait. Finish your dinner,' Inspector Walsh said. |
[04:11.75] | 'We want to ask one or two questions about last night.' |
[04:18.27] | 'Come and wait in the front room,' Tom said and opened the door. |
[04:27.34] | Inspector Walsh looked at the things in the front room. |
[04:31.77] | There was an old black and white television, and some books on the table. |
[04:40.16] | There was a picture of a happy young girl with long brown hair on the table, too. |
[04:48.22] | Inspector Walsh looked at the picture for a long time. |
[04:55.29] | Who was the girl? Tom Briggs came back into the front room. |
[05:02.53] | 'Finished?' Inspector Walsh asked. 'You know Mrs Clarkson is dead?' |
[05:12.62] | Tom Briggs sat down suddenly on the nearest chair. |
[05:18.16] | 'What? How did she die? When did it happen? I was there last night.' |
[05:29.28] | 'She died last night or early this morning. What did you do last night?' |
[05:39.08] | 'Me? Why are you asking me? I went there to meet Mr Clarkson Roger. |
[05:48.84] | I'm losing money on this farm and I need more land. |
[05:54.79] | I want half Mrs Clarkson's garden.' 'You went into the kitchen. |
[06:01.95] | What did you do next? Can you remember?' |
[06:07.63] | Tom Briggs looked at Sergeant Foster and then back at Inspector Walsh. |
[06:15.67] | 'I remember it very well. All the family were in the kitchen. |
[06:23.14] | Peter Hobbs was there, too. I talked to Roger. He wants his mother to sell the house. |
[06:35.74] | But he wants the land. He doesn't want me to have it. But now Mrs Clarkson is dead. |
[06:46.21] | What's going to happen now?' |
[06:50.98] | Inspector Walsh got up and took the picture of the girl from the table. |
[06:58.79] | 'Who's this?' Tom's face went red. 'Who? Oh! That's a friend. |
[07:09.90] | It's not…It was a long time ago.' |
[07:16.28] | The two detectives walked back to the Clarksons' house through the garden. |
[07:24.18] | It was beautiful, green and quiet. Inspector Walsh felt tired and hungry. |
[07:34.13] | Who killed Molly? He knew the answer now, |
[07:39.05] | but he needed to ask one or two more questions.'Let's go, Sergeant,' he said, |
[07:48.98] | and put on his hat again. 'Tomorrow is a new day.' |
