Lesson 87 A perfect alibi[00:00:01]
First listen and then answer the question[00:00:07]
What was wrong with the man's story[00:00:13]
'At the time the murder was committed[00:00:19]
I was travelling on the 8 o'clock train to London'[00:00:22]
said the man[00:00:26]
'Do you always catch such an early traing[00:00:28]
asked the inspector[00:00:32]
'Of course I do' answered the man[00:00:35]
'I must be at work at 10 o'clock[00:00:39]
My employer will confirm that I was there on time'[00:00:42]
'Would a later train get you to work on time'[00:00:48]
asked the inspector[00:00:52]
'I suppose it would but I never catch a later traing[00:00:55]
'At what time did you arrive at the station'[00:01:02]
'At ten to eight I bought a paper[00:01:06]
and waited for the traing[00:01:10]
'And you didn't notice anything unusual'[00:01:14]
'Of course not[00:01:19]
'I suggest' said the inspector[00:01:22]
'that you are not telling the truth[00:01:26]
I suggest that you did not catch the 8 o'clock train[00:01:29]
but that you caught the 825[00:01:34]
which would still get you to work on time[00:01:37]
You see on the morning of the murder[00:01:41]
the 8 o'clock train did not run at all[00:01:44]
It broke down at Ferngreen station[00:01:48]
and was taken off the line[00:01:51]
