“Everything’s norhtly

Conklin thought, Easy for you to say

He turned back to the woman in the bed and said, “Joan, it killsshot, especially under your conditions, would shake anyone up That’s why I hope you understand that I have to find out what happened to you”

Mrs Murphy was not a suspect She was not under arrest Conklin had assured her that if she asked him to leave the room, he would do it No problem

But that wasn’t what he wanted He wanted to understand the circumstances that had victimized this woman and had killed the man who had been found with her

He had to figure out what kind of case it was so he could nab the culprit

“Don’t worry I’ past hi you’ve tolda dead body beside , but I do think I would remember that Honestly, I don’t think it even happened”

She shook her head desperately and the tears flew off her cheeks She dropped her chin to her chest and her shoulders heaved with sobs

Conklin reached for a box of tissues and offered the down in front of him

He inched his chair closer to the bed and said, “Joan, please try to understand It did happen We have the body Do you want to see him?”
