The bullet which wounded Mrs Cubitt had gone into her
brain. The gun which fired the bullet had been very close to her.
Hilton Cubitt had been shot through the heart.
A gun had been found lying halfway between the two bodies.
Two shots had been fired from the gun.
But we did not
know
if Mrs
Cubitt
had
shot
her
husband
first,
and then shot herself. Or if Mr Cubitt had shot his wife, and then
killed himself.
'Has
Mr Cubitt's body been
moved
7
'
asked Holmes.
'No,'
replied the doctor.
'We
had to move the lady. We
couldn't leave her lying injured on the
floor.'
'Who
found the
body?'
