Chapter 22
The following day, Richard arrived at Scotland Yard almost before the sun came up. Heâd had a restless night and wasnât in the best of moods. It was the day of the interviews and he knew it would be exhausting. They were short of staff; police officers had taken holiday owing to them to make the most of the remaining good weather. He sighed as he sat at his desk, longing for a cup of strong coffee to keep him alert.
âLewis,â he called out of his office door.
Constable Lewis came bursting in through the door, his cheeks red as though heâd been running.
âI suppose youâd like to join me on the interviews today?â
Russell Lewis smiled then tried not to look too eager. âI think it would be very helpful for me, sir...Iâm sure I would learn something.â
âIâm sure you would. And Iâm sure I would love a cup of strong coffee to take with me. Make one for yourself. Youâre going to need it Iâm almost sure of it. Today you will hear all kinds of stories, some truthful, some not truthful. The problem is Lewis, we have to sort the wheat from the chaff. And then we have to look at those we think were lying and try to discover why they were lying. Youâve picked a good day. Weâre so short of staff my sergeants arenât available, apart from Keen, who between you and me, isnât, so itâs your lucky day. âToday weâre interviewing Millie the moon girl, Sadie, the hat-check girl, and Aaron Kaplan.â
âDâyer think heâs involved, Chief Inspector?â
âMy instinct says not, but, as doubtful to you as it may seem, Iâve been wrong before.â Constable Lewis looked glum. âSo...â said Richard rising from his chair and gathering his notes from his desk, âgo get that coffee, make them large ones, and weâll start.â
