Chapter 17 Seventeen Poirot announced his departure

Miss Livingston reports: Hercules.Mr. Poirot has come to see you. After she left, Poirot closed the door and sat down to Aridan.Mrs. Olivier. He lowered his voice slightly and said: I'm leaving. What did you say?Madame Olivier asked in surprise, she was always frightened by the way Poirot delivered messages. I want to go.I'm leaving here and taking a plane to Geneva. It sounds like you're going to a UN agency or UNESCO. No, this is just a private meeting. Did you find an elephant in Geneva? I knew you'd think so, maybe two. I have no other progress, Mrs. Olivia said: I don't know how to investigate further.

I remember you or someone else mentioned it, Celia.Ravenk has a younger brother. Yes, it's Edward.I seldom saw him, only took him to school once or twice, and that was many years ago. Where is he now? It's like going to university in Canada and studying science and engineering.Do you want to go to him? No, not at the moment, just want to know where he is.Wasn't he at home when the incident happened? You can't. You can't guess that he did it, can you?I mean, shoot his parents?Boys do weird things at that age. He was not at home, Poirot said: this is the police record.

Have you found any useful clues?You look very excited. I'm very excited, I have some materials that can explain many things. What information?What things can be explained? I seem to have figured out why Mrs. Burdencar asked you to inquire about the suicides of the Ravenkers. Isn't it purely nosy? No, there was another motive behind it, probably related to money. money?What does money have to do with this?She is already rich. Yes, she has enough money to live on.But her adopted son, she treats him like her own son.He knew that he was an adopted son, but he didn't know his origin.He made a will when he was an adult, maybe his adoptive mother urged him to make it, maybe her friend suggested it, or her lawyer suggested it. In short, as an adult, he probably felt that if something happened to him, he should put everything together. Leaving it to the adoptive mother, the premise is that if there is no one else to entrust it to.

I don't understand what this has to do with her wanting to know about suicides? Can't you see it?She wanted to stop the marriage.If Desmond had a girlfriend, if he was going to marry soon, that's what young people do nowadays, they don't think too much about it, and then Mrs. Bordenka couldn't inherit his estate, because marriage would make the former His will is invalid, and when he wants to marry his girlfriend, he should make a new will to leave the property to his wife instead of his adoptive mother. Do you mean Mrs. Burdencar doesn't want that? She wanted an excuse to prevent him from marrying this girl, and I think she hoped that maybe she really believed Celia's mother had killed her husband and then shot herself, something that would frighten boys.Even her father killing her mother is still depressing.It is easy for young people of this age to be prejudiced and influenced by it.

You mean, does he think that if her father or mother was a murderer, the girl would be inclined to do it? Not that simplistic, but that's probably how she calculated it. But Desmond didn't have much money, did he?He's just an adopted kid. He doesn't know anything about his biological mother, but it appears his mother was a well-known actress and singer who amassed a considerable fortune before she fell ill and passed away.She tried to get her son back from Mrs. Bordenka, but was refused.She has been thinking about the child and decided to leave the money to him.He can inherit this inheritance when he is twenty-five years old. At present, the money is escrowed by lawyers, so of course Mrs. Burdenka opposes his marriage, at least only with people she agrees with or people she can control.

Sounds logical, she's not a nice person, is she? Well, I don't think she is.said Poirot. That's why she doesn't want you to visit her, lest you discover her real motives. may be.said Poirot. What else did you find? Well, just a few hours ago, Director Glowell called me to ask me some small questions, and I took the opportunity to ask him, and he said that the old housekeeper's eyesight was very poor. Does it have anything to do with the case? Maybe related.Poirot looked at his watch and said: I must go. Are you going to the airport now? No, the plane is tomorrow morning, but today I have to go to a place, to see this place for myself, the car is still waiting outside the door.

what do you want to seeMrs. Olivia asked curiously. It's not about seeing anything, it's about feeling it.Yes, feel it, feel and recognize what I feel
