I
was
forced
,
rather
reluctantly
,
to
admit
the
truth
of
this
.
Your
theory
,
I
remarked
acidly
,
is
doubtless
correct
as
to
all
the
details
?
My
theory
is
the
truth
,
said
Poirot
quietly
.
And
the
truth
is
necessarily
correct
.
In
your
theory
you
made
a
fundamental
error
.
You
permitted
your
imagination
to
lead
you
astray
with
midnight
assignations
and
passionate
love
scenes
.
But
in
investigating
crime
we
must
take
our
stand
upon
the
commonplace
.
Shall
I
demonstrate
my
methods
to
you
?

Oh
,
by
all
means
let
us
have
a
demonstration
!
Poirot
sat
very
upright
and
began
,
wagging
his
forefinger
emphatically
to
emphasize
his
points
.
I
will
start
as
you
started
from
the
basic
fact
of
Georges
Conneau
.
Now
the
story
told
by
Madame
Beroldy
in
court
as
to
the
Russians
was
admittedly
a
fabrication
.
If
she
was
innocent
of
connivance
in
the
crime
,
it
was
concocted
by
her
,
and
by
her
only
as
she
stated
.
If
,
on
the
other
hand
,
she
was
not
innocent
,
it
might
have
been
invented
by
either
her
or
Georges
Conneau
.
Now
in
this
case
we
are
investigating
,
we
meet
the
same
tale
.
As
I
pointed
out
to
you
,
the
facts
render
it
very
unlikely
that
Madame
Daubreuil
inspired
it
.
So
we
turn
to
the
hypothesis
that
the
story
had
its
origin
in
the
brain
of
Georges
Conneau
.
Very
good
.
Georges
Conneau
,
therefore
,
planned
the
crime
with
Madame
Renauld
as
his
accomplice
.
She
is
in
the
limelight
,
and
behind
her
is
a
shadowy
figure
whose
alias
is
unknown
to
us
.

Now
let
us
go
carefully
over
the
Renauld
Case
from
the
beginning
,
setting
down
each
significant
point
in
its
chronological
order
.
You
have
a
notebook
and
pencil
?
Good
.
Now
what
is
the
earliest
point
to
note
down
?
The
letter
to
you
?
That
was
the
first
we
knew
of
it
,
but
it
is
not
the
proper
beginning
of
the
case
.
The
first
point
of
any
significance
,
I
should
say
,
is
the
change
that
came
over
M
.
Renauld
shortly
after
arriving
in
Merlinville
,
and
which
is
attested
to
by
several
witnesses
.
We
have
also
to
consider
his
friendship
with
Madame
Daubreuil
,
and
the
large
sums
of
money
paid
over
to
her
.
From
thence
we
can
come
directly
to
the
23rd
May
.
