Hunchback of the Morgue Page #2

You should be ashamed.

You almost killed him.

Luckily, he's coming around.

Help me lift him up, Tauchner.

Gotho...

I can see flowers.

Lots of flowers.

You shouldn't have brought me

so many flowers, Gotho.

She has just died.

If you had arrived earlier,

you would have seen her alive.

You can stay here for a bit if you want.

I must call the Doctor.

Here's your Ilse. Prepare her

for the dissecting room.

Look, Eludui! A golden necklace!

This corpse doesn't need it anymore.

With the money we'll get from it,

we'll have a few drinks in her honor!

Sleep, my dear.

Rest. Gotho will protect you.

But now I have to leave you for a moment.

I need to deliver a bouquet of roses

to someone...

that questioned your beauty.

Now it's his turn!

Hey! Bring more beer! Our throats are dry!

What's the matter?

The face at the window!

You're dreaming, there's no one there!

Come on. Stop this nonsense.

Bravo, Hans!

Well, goodbye everyone! I'm off to bed.

Be careful, Hans! You might bump

into the devil on your way home!

Smell it well, because it will be

the last thing you ever smell!

You cannot imagine. It's terrible.

Both corpses are absolutely destroyed.

Any clue of who the murderer could be?

The person in charge of the morgue,

a hunchback named Wolfgang Gotho,

has vanished.

But according to our investigation,

he is mentally disabled.

Everyone agrees that he is harmless.

And no one knows where he is?

No. But there's an important detail.

One of the corpses

from the dissecting room

has also disappeared.

It's the body of a young woman

who died recently.

The hunchback cared a lot for her.

A new crime has taken place.

A student named Hans Burguer

- has been found strangled in his room.

- Hans Burguer.

He had a very intense altercation

with Gotho this morning.

Raise a general alarm. We must find

the hunchback as soon as possible.

Sleep, my dear.

I should never have left you alone.

But no one will bother you here.

They won't be able to hurt you.

Come in.

Excuse me, sir,

but two gentlemen would like to see you.

They are policemen.

- Tell them to come in.

- Yes, sir.

- Good evening.

- Good evening.

Good evening. May I ask why you are here?

I guess you know about last night's

three murders?

Sure. Of course. It is horrifying.

But please, have a seat.

We think you might be able to give us

some information.

Specifically, we need information

about that hunchback

that works at the morgue.

Gotho? That's not possible.

He would not kill a fly.

However, he has disappeared.

If he is innocent,

there is no reason to hide.

Do you know where he is?

Absolutely not.

Ilse's death,

that girl he cared so much about,
