"No, remember what they said, we've got to play our hand carefully. And anyway, it's our word against his." She said.
"Are you insane? Our evidence is undeniable! I'm confronting him right now!!" Hartley fumed as he went to stand up. But then he sat back down and covered his nose. "Ugh; forget it. I'm not going anywhere near him while he's smoking that stuff." Hartley said.
"All right. Miss Marple- say, where'd she go?" Hastings asked.
.....
In a taxicab... "Driver, get me to Scotland as fast as you can!" She asked. "Scotland?!"

"I mean I can take you to Euston station and you can take a train to Glasgow" The taxi driver said.
"Fine; take me there" she said as she left.
"Well, she was hardly helpful" Hartley said.
"At least we got the camera and the pictures."
They looked over to see "delta," walking away, frustrated.
"He was RIGHT THERE" he grumbled to himself as Hastings and himself left for the night. He was starting to have doubts about his new associates.

Everyone came back to the pub, including Miss Marple. "Where have you been?" asked Hastings.

It had been several hours; in fact, it was already about 10:00 am that next day. Gunnarson was friends with the Pub owner, and he let them use it so they would not be disturbed.
"I was in Scotland" Miss Marple said.
"Some help you turned out to be" Hartley observed. He was still sour that they did not just take down the guy right then and there.

"I was a big help. I found out something." "What?"

"I think you're findings are more important; we'll start with yours" Marple said to the others.
Poirot went first "You're not going to like this Gunnarson... but Gelb was there that night. And his story, it perfectly matches the evidence" he explained.
"Blast. Makes it harder to prove his innocence. What did he tell you, exactly?" Gunnarson asked.

"He said that he helped pick up Farley's papers, but Farley attacked him, and he shot Farley in self defense, though Farley didn't die then." "Hmm, so that itself doesn't prove that he did it."

"But it also did not prove that Farley did not die by bleeding out" Poirot explained.
"There is that... he was found with only one bullet hole" Gunnarson recalled.
"So what did you find on Elvira?" Hastings asked.

"We have two different theories. The almost completely wrong one is that Elvira's twin sister is in jail instead of her, and the more probable one is that she had an accomplice."

"...Let's go with the accomplice theory" Poirot deadpanned.
"So how would an accomplice fit into the picture?" Hartley asked.
"And we need to find SOMETHING that connects Elvira or Walters to this" Conrad informed.

"Of course, if they were lovers..." Gunnarson trailed off.

"Gunnarson? Gunnarson!" Hartley said.
"Eh, what?" Gunnarson asked.
"You were about to say something. What about if they were lovers?" Hartley asked.

"Then that would connect them! Though thinking about it again, someone like Elvira wouldn't really be one to have sex with someone like Walters..."

"Wait a minute; are you saying that this accomplice was somehow a connection between Elvira and Mr. Walters?" Hastings asked.

"It's possible," said Poirot. "But before we go further, how did it go for you two?"

"Well, we managed to take these pictures of the guy; see for yourself"
They laid out seven pictures that they managed to take of "delta."

"We got him all right, though of course, the pictures themselves don't prove anything, but we can show that our third party was where we thought he'd be," said Poirot. "Now," said Gunnarson, "what did you do, Miss Marple?"

"I had a hunch that I had heard the name somewhere before. You know, that third party. So I went to pursue something I knew I heard somewhere and, well, see for yourself."
She put some documents on the table
"As you can see, they are..."

But suddenly they are cut short. "Captain Hastings?" asks a police officer. "Yes?" "I have a warrant for you arrest." "What?! Me?! Why?!" "For the murder of Mr. Edwards."
.....
Poirot was frantic. He paced up and down. "Why would they find him to be the murderer?!" he cried. "It doesn't make sense!"

"Why didn't we just confront the with the evidence we had!" Hartley said. "it couldn't have been him, it makes no sense!"
"Come to think of it, you two were with me the time the murder take place" Gunnarson said. "that's it; I'm going over their heads and calling Gent" Gunnarson said.
