[00:02.60]Chapter 6 [00:05.65]They found Peter Hobbs under his car—an old green car. He got up slowly. [00:16.78]He wore old blue trousers and a dirty orange shirt. [00:22.50]'We want to talk about Mrs Clarkson,' Inspector Walsh said. [00:29.70]'Oh, it's about her,' Peter said. He looked at the Inspector. [00:38.93]'I know she's dead. Someone in the village told me.' [00:45.25]'Why did you go to the Clarkson's house last night?' [00:51.44]'Jackie wanted me to come and see her brother, Roger.' [00:57.44]“You're angry,” she said. “Come and tell Roger.” [01:02.59]I went to the house but nobody opened the door. [01:08.91]So I made a lot of noise and then they opened the door. [01:15.34]Old Mrs Clarkson wasn't there. But I told Roger. I told them all!' [01:24.83]Peter hit the car with his hand. 'I wanted to kill that woman. [01:32.75]I lost my job, my first job, because of her. [01:39.83]Last month I was in trouble with the police and [01:45.81]that old woman wrote to my office and she told them about the police. [01:54.84]I wanted to kill her!' 'Take it easy!' Inspector Walsh said. 'What happened next?' [02:05.97]'Jackie gave me some coffee, but her brother didn't listen to me,' Peter said angrily. [02:16.33]'Then Tom Briggs came in. He wanted to talk to Roger, too. [02:24.38]But Roger didn't listen to him. Jackie was very unhappy—she nearly cried. [02:33.43]Then I went home. That's all.' 'I see. Now tell me about the tablets. [02:46.56]You went to the village on Thursday?' 'Tablets? Oh, yes. I remember. [02:57.05]Jackie wanted me to get her mother's tablets from the village. [03:03.20]I go to the village on my bicycle—this car doesn't work.' [03:10.64]'Thank you, Peter. That's all.' 'That's all?' Peter laughed angrily. [03:18.72]'You're going to come back, I know that! I know the police!' [03:26.91]Tom Briggs' farm was about half a mile away, near the river. [03:36.48]It was not a big farm, and the house was old and dirty. [03:43.04]'Not much money here,' Inspector Walsh said. [03:47.99]Tom Briggs was a young man, about thirty years old, with dirty hands and bad teeth. [03:58.34]'What's wrong? Excuse me, I'm eating my dinner,' he said. [04:05.41]'We can wait. Finish your dinner,' Inspector Walsh said. [04:11.75]'We want to ask one or two questions about last night.' [04:18.27]'Come and wait in the front room,' Tom said and opened the door. [04:27.34]Inspector Walsh looked at the things in the front room. [04:31.77]There was an old black and white television, and some books on the table. [04:40.16]There was a picture of a happy young girl with long brown hair on the table, too. [04:48.22]Inspector Walsh looked at the picture for a long time. [04:55.29]Who was the girl? Tom Briggs came back into the front room. [05:02.53]'Finished?' Inspector Walsh asked. 'You know Mrs Clarkson is dead?' [05:12.62]Tom Briggs sat down suddenly on the nearest chair. [05:18.16]'What? How did she die? When did it happen? I was there last night.' [05:29.28]'She died last night or early this morning. What did you do last night?' [05:39.08]'Me? Why are you asking me? I went there to meet Mr Clarkson Roger. [05:48.84]I'm losing money on this farm and I need more land. [05:54.79]I want half Mrs Clarkson's garden.' 'You went into the kitchen. [06:01.95]What did you do next? Can you remember?' [06:07.63]Tom Briggs looked at Sergeant Foster and then back at Inspector Walsh. [06:15.67]'I remember it very well. All the family were in the kitchen. [06:23.14]Peter Hobbs was there, too. I talked to Roger. He wants his mother to sell the house. [06:35.74]But he wants the land. He doesn't want me to have it. But now Mrs Clarkson is dead. [06:46.21]What's going to happen now?' [06:50.98]Inspector Walsh got up and took the picture of the girl from the table. [06:58.79]'Who's this?' Tom's face went red. 'Who? Oh! That's a friend. [07:09.90]It's not…It was a long time ago.' [07:16.28]The two detectives walked back to the Clarksons' house through the garden. [07:24.18]It was beautiful, green and quiet. Inspector Walsh felt tired and hungry. [07:34.13]Who killed Molly? He knew the answer now, [07:39.05]but he needed to ask one or two more questions.'Let's go, Sergeant,' he said, [07:48.98]and put on his hat again. 'Tomorrow is a new day.'
