Chapter 11 Chapter 11 The second man with false eyes

After Officer Holcomb went to arrest the prisoner, Prosecutor Borg asked Mason somewhat embarrassedly: "But, when you asked Kulmer a counter-question, why didn't you point out on the spot that he was the prisoner?" "There was no conclusive evidence at the time." "Lawyer Mason, can you explain the truth of the case from the beginning? I really don't know what to do." The presiding judge interjected. Mason nodded and started talking enthusiastically: "Culmer is a conspirator in Harry's embezzlement of funds. They embezzled Mr. Bashard's money together. Mr. Burnett is Mrs. Bashard's former lover, and Dick The biological father of Mr. Burnett, who lost an eye in a car overturning accident, spent years looking for traces of his runaway lover.

"He didn't find it until recently, but she was married to Mr. Barshard. Mr. Burnett visited Mrs. Barshard and tried to persuade her to break up with Mr. Barshard and marry him. The night before the incident , when the agent's driver, James, became aware that they were together, Mr. Burnett jumped out of the window and fled. However, when he jumped out of the window to escape, he lost the false eye, not the false eye embedded in the eye socket. , and the spare eye in the vest pocket of the suit. The driver of the secret agent picked it up and handed it to Mr. Bashad. Mr. Bashad only saw the eye and could not tell who the man in his wife's room was , but only Mr. Bashad knew about the fact that Secretary Kulmer had a fake eye. So he suspected Kulmer and conducted an investigation. As a result, he found out that Kulmer and Harry conspired to embezzle funds.”

"On the night of the incident, Harry went to Mr. Bashard's house to discuss countermeasures with his accomplice Kulmer. It happened that Mrs. Bashard was sending Dick's new wife (Hazel Henwick) to greet her husband Bashard. Shad. On the other hand, Mr. Bashad was calling Secretary Kulmer in because of the false eye, and probably also asked about the embezzlement of funds. Kulmer took a pistol wrapped in a blanket and went in through the back door and pointed to Bashad. Mr Sand fired." "Then he put the fake suicide note he had prepared on the typewriter, took out the fake loan note from the safe that became the evidence of embezzled funds, and made a simple mask out of carbon paper, intending to make the woman in the outer reception room (Hazel L. Henwick) ran away after seeing that the murderer was a one-eyed man, but Kulmer's mask was torn off by the woman, revealing his true face, so he became furious, knocked the woman down, and rushed out the door. Hopped in Mr. Bashard's car, drove around the street, then drove back to storage and pretended he had just come back from the movie theater. He came to the reception room to see that Hazel, who had passed out, was not dead. , so he was troubled. He wanted to kill her. But Madame Bashard stood in his way, and he was thrown out."

"In desperation, he went back to his room, explained the matter to his accomplice Harry, and told Harry that Mr. Bashad was dead and he did not need to pay back the money. If the police suspected that the money had already been paid back. He thought so For one thing, because a large sum of money disappeared when Mr. Bashard died, the police would definitely think it was done by armed robbers." "How do you know the whole truth about the incident?" Prosecutor Borg asked in bewilderment. "Based on ordinary reasoning, first, the murderer is a person who is proficient in typewriters, because the forged suicide note is typed by touch, and Kulmer is good at typing. Second, the murderer entered Mr. Bashard's room with a blanket under his arm instead of A very familiar person that would arouse suspicion, because Mr. Bashad was killed with little resistance. Again, the murderer was someone who thought that no one knew that he had a false eye. Because of this, he deliberately exposed himself as one-eyed man, he thought, and then suspicion would fall on the owner of the false eye."

"So, Harry was killed by his accomplice Culmer because he wanted to tell you the truth of the incident?" "Maybe." "But what is the motive behind Harry's dead body holding the glass eye?" The prosecutor stared at Mason suspiciously. Pretending not to hear, Mason yawned and glanced at his watch when the door was pushed open recklessly and three reporters rushed in in a panic. Prosecutor Borg asked in surprise, "Hey, what's going on?" "There was a shootout at Union Airport. Officer Holcomb was wounded and Kulmer was killed. Why did Kulmer flee to the airport?"

A reporter crept up to Mason and whispered, "Mr. Mason, please tell us the truth. Is this the biggest trick you've ever played?" "I have no idea". A day later, Mason was reading a newspaper in his office.The newspaper's first page featured a large photo of Prosecutor Borg, with the headline: Indomitable Prosecutor Borg Finally Brings the Real Murderer to Justice.Secretary Tina was very annoyed by this.But Mason just laughed it off. "How's the killer Hazel Henwick?" Tyna asked. "I'll be caught by the police soon." Mason's eyes lit up.
