La mano de un hombre muerto Page #3

---

If you like.

It's not a pretty sight.

Hellmont?

Take her away, and send me

the results of the autopsy.

Tell me, Boro,

you got a suspect?

No, no one.

Come on, not even me?

I'm not in the mood

for jokes, Karl.

People around here

are all convinced it's a ghost.

They may be right.

There is a ghost.

It's the dead man

from the swamps, I know it.

Did anyone ask for your opinion?

He's right, sir.

He's a smart guy.

Why don't you question

all these people?

The murderer always returns

to the scene of the crime.

The next exam to join the police force

is three months from now.

You should take it.

In October, the exams

to be a journalist begin.

I suggest you don't take them.

I'm afraid you'd fail.

- Have you got your car?

- Yes. Brand-new.

Can you give me a ride?

Hellmont!

Is this guy bothering you?

No, he might come in handy.

Meet me at the inn.

You haven't heard of

the old ghost legend, have you?

Are you kidding?

I've known about it for a long time.

It always ends up being a regular old

criminal, with flesh and bones.

But there are often crimes

that go unsolved.

Of course.

That's because I wasn't there.

I see you're a humble man.

If the sadist of the legend

is a Von Klaus...

there might be others

in the family.

Not this time.

The two Von Klauses

each have a strong alibi.

The uncle spent the whole night

with his sick sister...

and the nephew was

on a trip with his fiance...

What do you think of this car?

I bought it from Berger,

the American correspondent.

All right.

- What time are you free?

- Are you a cop? Not a chance.

So, what's new?

According to the autopsy,

the girl was sexually assaulted.

No kidding.

And the weapon used

was a dagger-

A dagger?

Well, there's a piece of news.

Let me finish.

A dagger of Damascus steel

with a curved blade.

Traces of rust

were found in the body.

- An ancient weapon.

- That's right. I've inquired.

"That kind of dagger

with a curved blade is of Arab origin.

They were used

till the 18th century...

but are no longer manufactured. "

The tracks in the snow

indicate a size ten.

In other words, a guy 5'5" tall.

He could be five feet tall,

wearing shoes that don't belong to him.

Or an old woman

with the feet of a giant.

Don't get angry. Nobody

told you it couldn't be a woman.

I'm sure the killer is a sadist.

- Are you a psychoanalyst?

- Yes.

What do you think of all this?

This kind of psychopath

kills for the pleasure it gives him...

to see the agony of his victims.

That's why the poor girl

was raped.

The crime

is connected to this act.

Are they conscious

of their behavior?

They know very well

what they're doing, I'm sure.

When they're no longer in crisis,
