Episode 5

In addition to the inspector, Dr. Sheppard and Hercule Poirot are present at the interrogation of the detainee suspected of killing Charles Kent. To deny that Charles was on Ackroyd’s estate is useless. First, Sheppard recognized his voice - that evening a stranger asked him how to get to a well-known address. Secondly, Poirot shows irrefutable evidence that Charles was in the gazebo. Under the bench, he lost an empty goose feather, where he kept drugs. Now the pen cavity is empty, but any examination will confirm that it is a drug container. Charles recalls that the newspaper indicated the exact time of the murder - from a quarter to ten to ten in the evening. And at a quarter to ten, he had already made a scandal in an eatery a mile from the house where the murder occurred, witnesses can confirm this. Charles went on a date to the estate, with whom - this does not concern anyone.
