His name is Pearson, replied Salahadin. He's an archeologist. He was working in the south. He was leaving Egypt soon and l wanted to see him. Why was he murdered? I don't know,replied Salahadin. There were some boxes standing against the wall. Salahadin pointed to them. there's something valuable in these boxes,said Salahadin. We must open them. Ahmed brought in two policeman and they started to open the boxes. Salahadin looked carefully round the room. There were some papers on the table beside the bed.Salahadin picked them up. There was map under the paper. On the map were the words, Valley of Zar. These May be important,though Salahadin. I'll take them with me and look at them later.Salahadin folded the paper and the map and put them carefully in his wallet. By this time, the policeman had opened the boxes. There was nothing important in them. The boxes were full of spades and other thing for digging. There's nothing important or valuable in these boxes, said Salahadin. We must speak to all of the hotel staff. Perhaps one of them noticed something unusual. The manager brought the staff to Ahmed and Salahadin. They asked each person many questions, but they did not learn anything important. Pearson's Map
