54. The suspicious person

Laura, Peter, Natalie, and Jake are in Laura’s office, talking about the red handkerchiefs that identify the criminals in the painting.

 

Peter: Hold on… Are you saying it’s Turner?

Laura: Unfortunately, yes!

Natalie: No! Really?

Laura: I would really like to not be certain about this, but he has been acting strange all day…. Especially just now, when Jake said about the handkerchiefs. He was quite interested in finding out more about the informant before, but when he realised it was all in the painting, he just left without saying anything about the handkerchiefs, as if he already knows what they mean.

Peter: Maybe he isn’t corrupt, maybe he’s protecting a friend.

Laura: Could be…

Jake: Mummy, I’m tired.

Laura: Let’s go home, son. Peter, Natalie, go home. We will pick this up tomorrow.

Peter: Ok. Let us know if you find out anything else.

Laura: Of course. You too.
