Book - A Shot in the Dark - 84

Summary no. 84

On his way back to the police station, Inspector Steine reflected on the implications of Twitten’s current situation. Steine hadn’t taken to the lad yet, and probably never would. Their working relationship had been strained since the beginning, and the Crystal’s murder case had complicated matters further. Twitten had been hypnotised by one of the suspects, who was a phrenologist for profession, into believing that Mrs Groynes was a criminal mastermind. Surely, Steine reasoned, Twitten’s condition would hinder any future investigation. Steine could already picture Twitten accusing Mrs Groynes for any reported crime in the future.

At one point Steine realised that someone had been following him. It was the young reporter Ben Oliver. The lad caught up with Steine and tried to engage him in conversation. Oliver was keen to voice his criticism over Steine and the way he led the latest murder investigation—Oliver adamantly believed that Steine had built his career through lucky events. In particular, Oliver cast doubt on the authenticity of the written confession that had been sent to the police. Oliver was astounded that Steine had accepted the letter’s contents as a self-evident truth. Oliver went as far as to voice his concern that the whole investigation may have been completely ill-considered because Steine wanted to wrap it up as soon as possible. Of course Steine was outraged by these wild accusations, and snapped back sharply at the boy.
