Amelia Robert, Hercule Poirot

Tâche finale

Amelia Robert, rich single women, wrote to Hercule Poirot. She was a victim of attempted murder after a fall in her stairs. All the people from the village of St Martin expected it was a fall because of the dog toy.

When Hercule Poirot finished reading the letter, he discovered the death of Amelia. This detective decided to go in the village to discover the truth. He went to doctor’s office to get more information about the death of the woman.

-“Hello sir” Hercule said

- “Welcome to my cabinet” answered the doctor

-“I come for Amelia, I would like more details about her death” tell the detective

-“Oh yes, poor girl… She was a nice girl but she had a chronic hepatitis” doctor said

-“Oh! It’s sad,” affirmed Hercule

-“Yes, but in my opinion his death is not related to these diseases…” claimed the doctor to the detective

- Little surprised, Poirot said: “Really? Do you think it’s a murderer?”

-The doctor explained: “No, it’s a very calm village, everybody know each other. Everyone in St Martin was sad and especially the neighbours: the backer and a young couple who had just settled. This sadness were also present by her uncle and cousins.”

After this discussion, Hercule Poirot came to Amelia’s house. When he arrived, he saw in front of the house a signalisation “For sale”. He claimed he wanted to buy the house for visit it. Thanks to this visit, Poirot saw a wire that was stretching by two nails.

Hercule was thinking that conditions of Amelia death did not like with the medical state of the victim. Even more, it was not possible that stairs accident was deadly. Inspector came back in Amelia’s bedroom. It is an intimate room when she passed most of her time. After seeing her cup of tea, Hercule noticed a purple water.
