Mrs. Maloney briefly told us the story about going out to the grocer and coming back to find him on the floor. While she was talking and crying. We discovered a small patch of congealed blood on the dead man’s head. The doctor was informed to perform an investigation of the blood on the floor as well, including the corpse. During the brief questioning, Mrs. Maloney told us that she went to the nearest grocer.
In 15 minutes my partner was back with a page of notes that could prove Mrs. Maloney might not be the suspect. My partner and I suspected the murder weapon is either a large piece of metal or a heavy metal vase. We asked Mrs. Maloney about the murder weapon but she said she did not have such things in her property.
Then I told her that Mr. Maloney was being killed by a blow on the back of the head administered with a heavy blunt instrument, mostly is a large piece of metal. My partner and I suspect that the murderer have thrown the weapon away or hide it. I said that if we found the weapon that is used to kill Mr. Maloney is found, then we could find the murderer. We left her alone sitting in her chair and continue to search for clue in the house.
Nearly at nine o’clock, we started to grow weary and tired. I saw the oven is still on and the meat is still inside. I told Mrs. Maloney about the meat inside the oven and I helped her to turn it off the oven.
She looked at me with her large, dark, and tearful eyes. She asked me for a favor with others. I said we can try. Then she told us to eat the lamb which is in the oven in repay helping to catch the man who killed Mrs. Maloney. I told her wouldn’t dream of it but she begged me. At the same time, we’re clearly hungry and ended up we ate the lamb that she cooked. At the end of our research, we couldn’t find the weapon which was used to killed Mr. Maloney.
