> Next, sergeant Fletcher reports on his inspection of the house to Craddock, and says that the dead man, Rudi Sherz, didn't leave any finger prints because he probably used gloves, and uses the word "sir" no less than 5 times during his report.
 * === The chapter starts out with Inspector Craddock describing the neat and well kept outside of Little paddocks, and commenting on the fact that she had to have done the work herself, because he didn't think there was "much money to spend on gardeners" (36). ===
 * The two discuss the murder, saying that they figure he came through the front, but the maid says the front door was locked, while Letti says it wasn't. The men also discuss the fact that they consider the maid, Mitzi, to be very suspicious and "I wouldn't trust her a yard" (37). Basically, they think she was in on it with Rudi because they're both foreigners. Because foreigners are WAY more likely to commit murder than gossipy small town Americans.
 * Both men go inside to speak with the owner of Little Paddocks, Letti Blacklock. they note that "Mitzi wouldnt go to the door", apparently because she's afraid of the police, but that doesn't help convince them of her innocence (37). they are then greeted by Letti and Dora, and a quick description of the simple fashion, minus a huge necklace that Letti is wearing. After, the ridiculously neat drawing room where the death happened is described.
 * Craddock gets down to business and says to Letti Blacklock, " I want you to tell me when you first saw the dead man", after which she describes an encounter she said she had with him three weeks ago in The Mendenham Spa, during lunch. She says he approached her and asked about her stay at the Hotel Des Alpes, at Montreux. she then says that was "where (her) sister and (her) had stayed for nearly a year during the war"(39).
 * She also talks about how he came to her house 10 days ago asking for money to travel back to Switzerland to see his mother, as she "was dangerously ill", which sounds a lot like something written in those scam emails that ask you to wire money to save a stranded friend (40). sketchy.She says no, and he doesn't put up a fight, he just accepts it and leaves.
 * Letti Blacklock says it "'was a thoroughly fishy story,'" and she also suspected him of embezzling at the hotel (40). The group thinks that he really showed up to survey the house so later he could (attempt to) murder Blacklock, but we all know how well that worked out for him.
 * Lastly, letti Blacklock is asked to describe the night in her own words. She talks about how she thought it was all a joke, even when the lights went out, until a bullet grazed her ear. After, she lists off everyone who is staying in the house, or working in the house, and Craddock asks to speak to Miss Simmons.
