Ashley listened, waiting for the blow to fall. “In fact, from what they tell me, you're the only one he was really interested in.”
Had he found out something, or was he on a fishing expedition?
Ashley said carefully, “He was interested in me, Deputy, but I was not interested in him. I made that quite clear to him.”
He nodded. “Well, I think it was nice of you to deliver those papers to his apartment.”
Ashley almost said, “What papers?” and then suddenly remembered. “It-it was no trouble. It was on my way.”
“Right. Someone must have hated Tibble a lot to do what they did.” Ashley sat there tense, saying nothing.
“Do you know what I hate?” Deputy Blake said. “Unsolved murders. They always leave me frustrated.”
“Because when a murder goes unsolved, I don't think it means that the criminals were that smart.”
“I think it means that the police weren't smart enough. Well, so far, I've been lucky.”
“I've solved all the crimes that have come my way.” He got to his feet. “I don't intend to give up on this one.”
If you can think of anything that will be helpful, you'll call me, won't you, Miss Patterson?
