A story from America
August 14th 1960, I was working late at the office that night. It was like one of those nights that gives you shiver, when you think about them. The cold air was tickling me in the neck, when it slowly blowed into the room from the open window. The lights from the street made me so annoyed that I hartly could find and read the papers I was looking for. Finally I found them, they were hiding in my personal archive of cases connected with murder.My attention suddenly breaks when my secretary, a young talented woman with many unusual skills, approaches the office. She always talks, normaly I just pretend to listen, but this time I could feel something was different. She had an idea, maybe she had found a clue, in the case which had gone on my nerves for the last three weeks. "Cooper !", she manages to pronounce before she throws some papers on my desk. "Do you remember, when we were investigating Mrs Alpher's apartment ?". "Yes, what is it ?" I say, trying to find out what's on her mind. "You see, until now we haven't found anyone that possibly could have gone into Mrs Alpher's apartment, without anyone noticing him or her". "You've got a point there", I responded, what was on her mind ? That blue dress ce
To my surprise, I saw Mr Edwoods standing at the counter. He looked confused, also he couldn't look me in the eye. "Mr Edwoods ?", I couldn't complete what I was about to say, when he cryed out "It was me, yes I admit it, it was me who killed that crazy woman"."But why Mr Edwoods ? Why did you kill a woman you hardly knew ?", "I couldn't stan her, she was a bitch !" he said with conviction in his voice. "Well Mr Edwoods, why don't you tell me what had happened ", "ok. I'll better do that". I lean back in my chair, and started listening. "For a long time I had been following Mr Alpher, I dreamt every night of her and then she finds this lover". He stoped talking for a moment, so I asked him with no consideration "But why didn't you at least talk to her ?" "You see, I wasn't the kind of man she wanted", he looked up with tears in his eyes. "The only way out I could find was to abolish the lover, but at the time I was going to kill, I couldn't see the difference between her and him. I didn't mean to kill Mr Alpher, it was a mistake, a terrible mistake. But I'm the one how shall be punished, and I've got nothing more to say". His face was all white, so I asked him to take it easy. Few minutes alter a policeman came to collect Mr Edwoods, I saw him being taken away with handcuffs on his back. After hearing all three alibis, I sat down trying to find out who had the best reason for killing Mrs Alpher. Mr Appleton was apparently the headsuspect, because he had permission to carry a gun. But all murders didn't always have permission to carry guns, so Mrs Sherly with her jealousy was also a headsuspect. Mr Edwoods whom said he wasn't home at the time of the killing, has the best point of view to the apartment, also he could have do it, if he was lieing. Suddenly the phone starts ringing, I pick up the receiver hoping
