There is a note in the police record, in the case AD-6583, on the murder of Camille Toren. It is a personnal note from one inspector who was working on the case. It can be read like this:
We have finally resolved the case, but we couldn't have done it without the help of Thomas Ford. Thomas Ford have done his police training twenty years ago, and have graduated at the same time of me, but haas been rejected by the police departement for medical reason. He was epileptic and have been hiding that. After that, he becamed private detective, and I lost his trace.
I have been told he was mainly solving conjugal problems during that last twenty years. He had a wife for ten year. She was working as his secretary. She left him for a lawyer. Since then, he had no more secretary, and no more girl in his life. He is mainly a loner, and his only distration is to visit a tavern every Sunday for the football or on Saturday for the Hockey. During the week, he visit an Irish pub. His only friends are the patron's of those two place. He has been seen with no other person, except his client, outside these two places.
It was a coîncidence that I met him again. He had worked for James Toren, husband of Camille. He had discovered that Camille was seeing another man, so when we found the corpse, James was the first suspect. It was even more obvious when his gun was found next to the victim, in his own house, and the only prints there was his own.
But I question James in front of Thomas. James told he was innocent. Thomas said to me that James was telling the truth. When I ask him why he was so sure, he just tell me he knew. He ask me then to see the house. That maybe there would be something we would had miss. I doubt, but I let him play his cards. two hours at the house, he found nothing. Anyway, our squad had the clean the place. It is when we were on our way out that Thomas enter one of his epileptic crisis. Generally, he just lose conciousness and stay like a status, but that time, it was a full crisis. He was shcking like a bacon. When he got out of his crisis, he looks at me and told me: "Camille's brother gloves?"
When have done some research on Camille's brother. We found something interesting. He was the second beneficiary on the life insurance of a dying uncle. A rich one. With Camille death, he would be pretty rich, about half a million, plus all the uncle fortune, it was almost a million. Lots of money. We have gone to his house, and we have found his gloves. One his glove, we found a little drop of Camille's blood and a trace of balck powder. Her brother had no alibi. The puzzle was almost complete and it took only two weeks to gather enough proof to put him in jail for a long time.
But the question that remain to me it is, why Thomas was so sure of James innocence and how Thomas knew about the gloves?
