La mano de un hombre muerto Page #5

Angelina?

- Make sure nobody leaves the hotel.

- Yes, sir.

Hurry up!

And there are also guests

just passing through.

Those who only came for dinner.

Or just to have a drink.

Were there a lot last night?

We're not in high season yet.

The big crowd arrives in two weeks.

So, my dear Borowski,

you left without letting me know.

Ah, I left. Sorry, Karl.

Rudolf Bender. Who is he?

He wasn't questioned, was he?

- Perhaps you should ask the concierge.

- Fritz?

What time did Mr. Bender get here?

Around noon. He didn't have

I- I-lunch, sir, n-n-nor dinner.

That's it. He's the killer!

- Oh, yeah? Why?

- Ghosts don't eat or drink, Boro.

- What time did he leave?

- Around midnight.

I can't say if it was

before o-o-or after-

- ... the crime?

- That's right.

Or the discovery of the crime?

What else?

I took his luggage to his car.

A b-b-briefcase.

He gave me a good tip,

and that's all, sir.

Wait a minute.

I think I can remember...

an important detail.

The man had a c-c-cane...

and the knob was

in the shape of a head.

A human head.

Human, I'm sure.

I- It was a Moor.

I remember it perfectly.

What does he look like?

Who? Mr. B-B-Bender?

Yes.

Maybe...

in his 50s, I think.

Normal-looking.

Black suit, very-

Very well-dressed.

- Have you seen him here before?

- I've only been here for a month.

I used to work at the Hotel Negresco,

under the same management.

- What about the chambermaid?

- Somebody call Marta.

Can I have a look at the book?

Maybe Bender stopped here

on one of his previous trips.

Under that name he didn't.

- Did you check carefully?

- No,just a hunch.

If you think you're gonna find

the name of the killer on a hunch-

- Commissioner, I'm innocent!

- Tell that to these gentlemen.

I'm innocent!

Sit down, miss.

I'm not in the way, am I?

You're a bit like a chronic cold.

You're a nuisance,

but eventually we get used to you.

Don't be afraid.

I won't harm you.

I'm an honest girl. I'm not used

to talking to policemen.

All right, then. Listen carefully.

Yesterday, did you see-

I didn't see anything!

I didn't notice anything at all!

I just make sure my job is done.

It's my job to clean and dust,

that's all!

Just a second, okay?

I've told the truth, and that's all!

I'd never do anything wrong.

I can show you my references.

The best is Mr. Brunemberg's.

Do you realize all the pretty young

women in this area are in great danger?

You could be the next victim.

You really think so?

I like this girl.

If I can be of any help,

I'll be delighted to do so.

Have the doctor

sign his statement.

We'll check the time

he actually came back.

I totally agree.

Don't forget I volunteered
