Chapter 21 Section 21

Japp returns to Scotland Yard and hears that Poirot is waiting for him. "I have come to ask you about the situation," said Poirot. "All I can say is that there have been no new developments. The Parisian antique dealers recognized the blowpipes he was selling, and Fournier has been concerned about the distraction time. There were no surprises during the entire trip. It was a semi-foreign affair. We can say that the French did it; Paris can also say that the English did it, not our business." "You really think the French did it?" "No. Take that archaeologist with his head buried in the ground all day. You can believe what he says. They say a string of yellowing beads is 5,322 years old. What can you say? But, to be honest, I don't think it is. French archaeologists."

"Then who do you suspect?" "That Clancy, he's acting strange and full of crazy ideas." "Perhaps. The CL52 in the little black book, as far as I can tell, is Mrs. Horbury, though her motives are unknown. It seems unlikely that the two flight attendants have any connection to Giselle." "Where's Dr. Bryant?" "He was said to be taking drugs with a patient, and the medical board is dealing with it. He may be RT362. I asked him where I could get snake venom, and he sent me off with nothing. Ryder seemed very calm. Admitted to go Paris borrowed money, and gave some addresses and names, and we checked it out. It looks like a really bad case."

"It's just that the outlook isn't clear, 'it sucks' exists only in confused thinking." "Whatever you say, the result is the same. There is no progress on Fournier's side. Maybe you have, but you don't want to say." "I'm taking it one step at a time." "Okay, let me listen." Poirot smiled, and took a note from his pocket. "My opinion is that the purpose of the murder was to have a certain effect. This case has been going on for three weeks, and today I will classify its results. ’ He spread the note, and Japp moved closer.

Miss Gray—temporary optimism, increased wages. Mr. Gale - very bad, career setback. Mrs. Horbury - Favorable if she is CL52. Miss Kerr--unfavorable.With Giselle dead, Lord Horbury would be even less likely to find grounds for divorce. Mr. Clancy--Favourable, again subject for a book. Dr. Bryant -- Favorable, if he is RT362. Mr. Ryder -- Favorable, the article about the murder makes him a sum of money, and if he is XVB724. Mr. Dupont—no effect. Mr. Joan Dupont—no effect. Mitchell -- no impact. Davis -- no impact. "How do you think this will help?" Japp asked skeptically.

"The classification is clear," said Poirot, "for Clancy, Gray, Ryder, and Mrs. Hobrey the case is positive, for Gale and Kerr negative, and Bryant is in the middle." "I don't see the point of the classification," said Japp gloomily. "Fournier hasn't made much progress in Paris either." "The most interesting part of this case is Giselle's character and character. She has no friends, no relatives, and she has not left a single photo or anything related. And now little Morisot has become a Madame Giselle." "But now we still have no clue."

"some." "Blowpipe and poisonous needle?" "No, no. Madame Giselle has two spoons in her coffee tray."
