Facts, Hercule, facts, behind them lays the whole fabric of deductive truth. Now, Hercule let us examine these facts: One... [holding up one finger] She was found with the murder weapon in her hand, Two... [holding up three fingers] The murder weapon was fresh with blood, Three... [holding up four fingers] There were no fingerprints on the murder weapon other then hers and Four... [holding up all five fingers] All the members of the Ballon household staff have perfect alibis. Now then, Hercule what do these facts add up to?

Maria Gambrelli killed Georges the gardener.

You are an idiot, only a fresh faced novice would come up with a conclusion like that.

But the facts...

Listen, whoever killed Miguel, killed Georges the gardener and he did it to cover up the first crime. Now, what he is trying to do is lay the blame at the foot of this, this poor servant girl.

Well, who do you suspect?

I suspect everyone.

Well... I suppose that is possible.

Possible? What do you mean possible? I deal in certainties.
