[00:05.07]Lesson 87
[00:07.93]A perfect alibi
[00:10.93]First listen and then answer the question.
[00:16.20]What was wrong with the man's story?
[00:20.94]'At the time the murder was committed,
[00:24.70]I was travelling on the 8 o'clock train to London,'
[00:27.66]said the man.
[00:31.00]'Do you always catch such an early train?'
[00:34.73]asked the inspector.
[00:37.18]'Of course I do,' answered the man.
[00:41.12]'I must be at work at 10 o'clock.
[00:44.11]My employer will confirm that I was there on time.'
[00:47.97]'Would a later train get you to work on time?'
[00:53.69]asked the inspector.
[00:55.81]'I suppose it would,
[00:58.63]but I never catch a later train.'
[01:01.81]'At what time did you arrive at the station?'
[01:07.47]'At ten to eight.
[01:09.97]I bought a paper and waited for the train.'
[01:14.33]'And you didn't notice anything unusual?'
[01:19.82]'Of course not.'
[01:22.79]'I suggest,' said the inspector,
[01:27.22]'that you are not telling the truth.
[01:29.94]I suggest that you did not catch the 8 o'clock train,
[01:34.80]but that you caught the 8.25 which would still get you to work on time.
[01:40.82]You see,
[01:42.69]on the morning of the murder,
[01:45.01]the 8 o'clock train did not run at all.
[01:48.90]It broke down at Ferngreen station and was taken off the line
