didn't you take it with it it was just delivered ah i was just delivered i see well i want to tell you it's a beauty that's a wonderful piece of machinery uh will that be all sir yeah charles that'll be all uh i don't want you to worry about me charles i'm gonna go around the side of the house here and i'm gonna conduct an experiment uh is this something i can help you with sir no charles it's a kind of a do-it-yourself thing thank you very much [Music] my [Music] oh good afternoon ma'am good afternoon oh charles our lieutenant requires a stepladder would you be good enough to get one for him yes man another experiment sir uh well i i i guess you could call it that yeah experiment lieutenant uh-huh like i said i was out here earlier hey why don't i show it to you now uh you figured that your brother had to walk around the side of the house like this is that right i figure it and so did the coroner's jury right now you see you had to walk on on grass is there some point to this yes ma'am there is you see uh now this grass is kind of dry because the sun's been out uh but today's thursday and uh the gardener cuts the grass on thursday excuse me a minute you see grass yes well that's only natural it certainly is but you know there was no grass on your brother's shoe i'm afraid i don't quite understand your brother was shot a week ago on thursday and i looked at the photographs of the body i even had them blown up and for the life of me i just couldn't see any grass on the soles of his shoe and i couldn't figure that out why it was freshly cut and it was sticky because it was at night and it was doom you know that's very good he must have had particles of grass on his shoes but they were probably brushed off on the carpet and unfortunately the room's been cleaned yeah i know well unless there's something else just one more thing i guess charles has the stepladder by now i would think yeah then on the other morning when i was over here i noticed these potted plants how observant and they're very pretty you know but i got to think and i said to myself you know sometimes people that keep a spare key outside just in case they forget their own key uh do you uh you see this what this imprint here yes what about it well that's like a a fossil or something you see a a spare key must have been hidden in there for a long time you see that's been rained on and everything there was a spare key oh i put it there myself when the alarm system was installed bryce didn't know about it i also removed it myself recently because i had second thoughts what do you mean by second thoughts well if a burglar were in fact on the premises he might find the key and then what good would the alarm system be good point yes yeah yeah i was right wasn't i because you found it yeah i guess i did all right lieutenant i think you finally overstayed your welcome the official verdict is death by accidental means and that should satisfy you look ma'am i don't mean any offense i'm just uh trying to tie up loose ends you see i'm compulsive that way it's just uh well that's what my wife says about it just oh you really oh no i mean all i meant by that was that uh well you see if if there was a key there yes and if bryce knew about it well then of course he would use the key to let himself in through the front door but i told the truth the night it happened and i told the truth of the inquest so whatever your little compulsions may be i'm afraid i must insist you leave me alone [Music] uh goodbye [Music] just one more thing [Music] you
