“And the mark on the forehead?”
“That is very odd. It is an outlined triangle, rather less than an inch along each side. It is quite red, he says, and seems to be done in a greasy, sticky sort of ink or colour.”
“Was anything found — the diamonds?”
“No. He says there was money — two or three five-pound notes, I believe, some small change, a watch, keys and so forth; but there’s not a word of diamonds.”
I paused in my dressing. “Does that mean that the murderer has got them?” I asked. Hewitt pursed his lips and shook his head. “It may mean that,” he said, “but does it look altogether like it when five-pound notes are left? On the other hand, there is the disguise; the only reason that we know of for that would be that he was bolting with the diamonds. But the really puzzling thing is the mark on the forehead. Why that? Of course, the picturesque and romantic thing to suppose is that it is the mark of some criminal club or society. But criminal associations, such as exist, don’t do silly things like that. When criminals rob and murder, they don’t go leaving their tracks behind them purposely — they leave nothing that could possibly draw attention to them if they can help it; also, they don’t leave five-pound notes. But I’m off to have a look at that mark. Inspector Plummer is in charge of the case — you remember Plummer, don’t you, in the Stanway Cameo case, and two or three others? Well, Plummer is an old friend of mine, and not only am I interested in this matter myself, but now that it becomes a case of murder, I must tell the police all I know, merely as a loyal citizen. I’ve an idea they will want to ask our friend Mr. Samuel some very serious questions.”
“Will you go now?”
“Yes, I must waste no more time. You get your breakfast and look out for me, or for a message.”
Hewitt was off to Vine Street, and I devoted myself to my toilet and my breakfast, vastly mystified by this tragic turn in a matter already puzzling enough.
