Brian sounded more and more like a real piece of work

"Does he have access to cash other than his bank accounts?" Cornelius asked

"I wouldn’t be surprised," Edward said "He likes to put things away for a rainy day"

"Are you aware of any marital issues between Brian and Rynda?" I asked

"Rynda works very hard at being an ideal spouse for iven to emotional outbursts My brother is quiet and easily hurt, so he prefers calm and routine"

He didn’t answer the question

"Has Brian expressed any dissatisfaction with his e?" Cornelius asked

"Everyone expresses soe once in a while," Edward said "He hadn’t said anything lately"

"Could you define lately?" I asked

"Last couple of years"

His eyes blazed "I’nify that with an answer"

"Mr Sherwood," I said "Rynda is extremely upset She came to me because everyone else had turned her down I want to resolve this as quickly as possible to minimize her emotional distress The sooner I can eliminate you from the pool of possible suspects, the sooner we canout what actually happened to your brother"
