Dupin read all this with great interest, and was the first to open the evening newspaper when it arrived He read silently, and then said, 'There is nothing new about the murders, but the police have arrested Adolphe Le Bon. Why, I don't know." He looked at me. .W riend, what do you think about these murders? It's a great mystery, I said. will be impossible, surely ever to find this murderer "We must not say "imposs ust because the police have done nothing," said Dupin. "The Parisian police do find the answers somet es, but that is usually because of hard work, not because they are clever. Very often, you see ey don't think clearly. Th ey look very hard at one or two th ngs, but they don't see everyth g. You remember the saying, "They can't see the wood for the trees"? We sometimes it's important to stand back and ook at the whole wood, and forget about the trees. Now, why don't we do a little detective work ourselves, and go round to the Rue Morgue? Adolphe Le Bon was once very helpful to me and I would like to h elp him if I can. know the police inspector, and I'm sure he w say that we can look round the house. So, sha we go?'
