The Diabolical Dr. Z Page #3

---

Well, I hope this case

will be interesting

As overseas observer,

I was expecting more

I'm not wishing a disaster on you

But things are a bit quiet

I think we're here

Why's he so tetchy?

His wife's just had triplets

They keep him awake all night

Hello

Inspector Grinder from Scotland Yard

So...?

It's a young woman

Dead several days

Burnt. No sign of drink or drugs

No sign of a struggle.

The car seems to have caught fire

Might be an accident

Whose car is it?

Professor Zimmer's

Zimmer's been dead two weeks

Might be his daughter.

We need to get her ID'd

Philippe Whitehouse?

Yes

Could you identify Irma Zimmer?

I think so

You knew her well?

Fairly well

I'm a doctor. I knew her father

A doctor?

Yes. A neurologist

Did you know Dr...

Vicas?

Yes.

Indeed I do

He was found dead last night

Near the railway line

Accident?

Yes. It's Vicas

He still had his papers and money

Who's cat's that?

It's Malou's

- Malou?

- Yes, Malou!

I find the death of Dr Vicas

more interesting

than the girl in the car

However, I still think he

might have just fallen off the train

And the scratches on his throat?

Probably a wolf

Take a look

What...?

Curare

Found in the scratches

in Vicas's throat

He was attacked by an animal

with nails that were long, sharp

and filled with poison

Know any wolves like that?

Hard to be sure

The body was badly burned

We found...

...this ring

Yes, I think it's hers

Our first clue

Funny it's so hard to identify her

Was she blond or brunette?

Irma? Blonde

A natural blonde?

That, I don't know

Dr Zimmer, his daughter

and Dr Vicas are all dead

They were all at the conference

Weren't you there too?

Yes

Then I'd watch your back

What's up love?

A nightmare.

Vicas attacked by a panther

Don't fret

It's normal to be upset by death

True. But this was so strange

Yes

He was seen at dinner

with a beautiful blonde

She's disappeared

A beautiful blonde. Really?

You think it was murder?

I don't know

Anyway, I'm going out for a coffee

I have to work late tonight

Don't be too long

I don't like to be alone here

I won't stay. Bye

Evening, Christian

Evening doctor

- A coffee?

- Please

Whisky please

Leaving, doctor?

I need some fresh air.

Goodnight

Fancy it, big boy?

Sandra?

Police station

Dr Moroni, you're finished

Remember Dr Zimmer

You know Dr Moroni?

Why? Is he dead?

They just found his body

He was killed last night

The same scratches on him?

No. None at all

Was Moroni at that conference?

Indeed.

He was Zimmer's fiercest critic

Come to dinner

Is that an order?

No. An invitation

Seems connected with that conference

As though Zimmer is being avenged

The police don't believe in ghosts
