He put up his hands

"His alibi checks out," Lacoste read from the report

"We know Antoinette took her uncle’s things over to the playhouse the day she died, ," said Gamache "Anyone see her do it?"

"No," said Jean-Guy "We have witnesses though who saw her that afternoon at the grocery store, the bakery and the Société des alcools, where she bought two bottles of wine"
