39. Turner knocks on the door

Laura and Peter, with Natalie’s help, are trying to identify the places and times of the four other crimes shown in the mysterious painting. Natalie writes it all down in a notebook while they discover clues in different elements of the picture.

 

Natalie: Ok, so we have a strange parcel that will arrive at King’s Cross train station at four o’clock in the afternoon, a robbery at a jewellery shop in the London Borough of Chelsea at five-thirty…

Laura: And a drug deal in Brixton at seven o’clock in the evening. And in terms of the fifth scene, I can’t work out what is happening.

Peter: These people here look worried, but they don’t look like criminals.

Laura: There is a house here with an open window, but you can’t see anything inside.

Turner: Knock, knock, good afternoon.

Laura: Boss, how can we help you?

Turner: I have a question… Wait, what are you doing?

Peter: We are trying to figure out…

Laura: We think there might have been a forgery. That’s why Natalie is helping us analyse the picture.

Turner: Ok… I wanted to know something. Did you manage to find out anything about the informant who warned you about the robbery at the stamp shop?

Laura: No… Yes. He called from a public telephone, so it was impossible to find out more.

Turner: Ok, let me know if he calls back or you find out something else.

Laura: Understood, boss.
