“I accept.” Ivan agreed. “As well as it can be the motive for the murder. It’s a strong feeling.”
“I doubt.” Seva said.
“Was it written by you?” Arthur looked at him. “Am I right?” “If you wrote the first note…”
“I am not the gay!”
“Silence!”
“Shut up!”
Ivan opened the third envelope and the absolutely clean paper dropped out. Everybody looked at it with astonishment.
“Did someone fake?” Zhanna asked.” And forgot to write the fear?”
“I will confess.” Ivan signed. “I did it. I put the clean envelope in the box.”
“But why? “ they looked at him with the surprise.
“I would like to take part in the game too. But I am neutral. That's why I sealed the clean paper. I have already burnt all my fears.”
“At least, one problem is gone.” Arthur shrugged his shoulders.
“Let's continue.” Vera nodded.
And Ivan opened the next envelope.
«I want Sergey» he read.
“Wow! You are very brave!” Angelica burst out laughing.
“It's not.” Lida frowned.
“Darling, have you written it?”
“What?”
“You are not married. And you want the big strong man …”
“Are you mad? I could not write it.” Lida became red.
“Among us there is the loving woman.” Arthur said watching the women sitting in armchairs. “It is interesting, who is she?”
“That's another question.” Zhanna said angrily. “If the woman constantly wants sex she is ill. And what about the man?”
“He is always the man.” Arthur said. “That's his natural state.”
“And if he is the gay.“ Zhanna asked innocently looking at him.
“Why are you looking at me?!”
“Zhanna wants to say that the note was written by the man or by the woman.” Ivan interfered.
“It's a madhouse any way!” Arthur complained.
“Do not forget that among us there is the murderer.” Vera reminded. “And it is not simply a madhouse. It is the madhouse where one of the patients is the most dangerous. By the way, it is the reason to write «I want Sergey». The murder was jealous.”
At that time Ivan opened the next envelope and said.
“Have a look!”
Through the paper by huge letters was written: «I AM GOD».
“It was written by the madman.” Zhanna said in a low voice.
“It’s an addiction.” Vera added.
“Sure. The maniac.” Arthur nodded.
“Comments do not require.” and Ivan put the note aside.
“Unless the woman would not write «I am Goddess»?” asked Angelica.
“You – I do not doubt.” Arthur grinned.
“Silence. Next.” Ivan stopped them. And he opened the next envelope. His face became strange. Then Ivan read. «I will kill Sergey today».”
There was a long pause. After it Arthur asked.
“That’s the worse than «I AM GOD», isn’t it?”
“This note is about the murder.” Zhanna said slowly.
“It is necessary to find the one who wrote it.” Vera said firmly.
“Is it a joke?” asked Angelica.
“You have got strange jokes!” Arthur answered.
“But this note is direct.” summed up Ivan.
“And no need to open the other envelopes.” said Vera.
“Oh, no!” Seva protested. “Let’s do it!”
“And who argues?” Arthur was not against. “Finally, we will open all the envelopes!”
“I agree there won't be worse.” Vera was pale.
“Who knows?” Zhanna asked slowly.
Ivan opened the following envelope and read.
«I hate Sergey». Not by the printing letters but it seemed by the left hand. An inclination of letters showed it.
“That's the same as «I will kill Sergey today»” Zhanna noticed.
“Nothing similar!” Arthur said sharply. “In my opinion «I AM GOD» is the most important!”
“Well, let's open the last envelope.” Ivan reminded. “I am curious what is there.”
“Yes.” Angelica said firmly.
And the last note had fallen on the table. Ivan took it and read like an actor.
«I am with Sergey in sex relations».
“Will you insist that it was written by the man?” Arthur was indignant.
“I do not say that all three notes «I love Sergey», «I want Sergey» and «I am with Sergey in sex relations» are written by the man.” Ivan answered. “But only one is. Is it important?”
“So who among us is the gay: me or Seva?” Arthur asked.
“I would think that you are, darling.” Angelica sang.
“Is it because I guessed that you went down in the hatch and closed the door?” Arthur asked angrily.
“Come on, darling.”
“By the way, you insulted me!”
“By the way, you are talking too much and Seva is silent.”
“That doesn't prove anything!”
“Calm down.” Ivan again stopped them. “Let's sum up.”
And he accurately put all eight notes on the table. The clean one was above and then he read.
«I love Sergey»
«I СКАЧАТЬ
