Inspector Barcode & Commander EnDer Investigate
Commander EnDer searched for something good to say but came up blank – there had been nothing but gray drizzle since he got here! And now, although he was supposed to be on holiday, his friend was taking him on a work trip to the scene of a death – as if Commander EnDer Had not see enough of them back home.
Luckily he was saved from having to respond as Inspector Barcode suddenly braked hard and swerved the police car into a gravel entry. “Jolly good, where here,” he said happily.
As they got out of the car, a plump man opened the door of the big, old, ivy-covered house and hurried out to meet them.
“Ah, good morning,” said inspector Barcode, removing his hat. “This is my friend Commander EnDer, holidaying here; come along with me for the ride to see the sights is all.”
Mr. Fletcher, the owner of the old house, shook both of their hands. “A pleasure, a pleasure! Do come in, gentlemen.”
Commander EnDer’s day wasn’t getting any better. As he crossed the threshold, a large dog appeared from nowhere and throw itself at his chest, almost winding him.
“Down, Rover! Sorry Commander – sorry – he wouldn’t hurt a fly – his only problem is his bottomless stomach, I’m afraid he searches anyone that comes in the house in case they have any food!”
“Aaaa… that’s OK,” said Commander EnDer a little grumpily.
“The police have of course removed the … uh … deceased,” said Mr. Fletcher,”and my chef cleared away the dishes, but otherwise nothing else has been touched.”
“Right,” said Inspector Barcode reassuringly. “This is just a formality, sir, my colleagues at the police station believe your guest died of a heart attack. Our visit is just a tick in the checklist of procedjure.”
Mr. Fletcher looked relieved. “It was awful,” he said. “One minute we were all enjoying a lively dinner gathering, and the next dear old Bob collapsed into the remains of his food.”
As the other two men talked, Commander EnDer stalked around the room, his footsteps cushioned by the , luxurious carpet. He stopped directly behind the seat where Bob had been sitting when he died. He slowly turned a full circle, noting everything he could see. Returning to face the table, Commander EnDer was struck by the Huge mirror that hung on the wall directly opposite. With its highly decorative frame, the mirror was clearly meant to be the focal point of the room.
The Commander frowned as he looked at the mirror – there was something odd about it – it was subtly concave, reflecting virtually the whole room. Immediately behind him was an open door. He wandered through it and found himself in a spotless kitchen. He took a quick inventory. Dog’s bowl full of dinner scraps by the scullery, a hanging rack of utensils, enormous Aga stove …
“Ah, Commander, there you are!” Inspector Barcode bustled in. “I think we’ve done our job here. Shall we be leaving?”
“Barcode”, the Commander replied seriously, “all is not quite what it seems in this place.”
What made Commander EnDer suspect foul play and what was the cause of Bobs Death?
