Ted Mortimer strode away to the house. Paul smiled to himself and went across to join Charlie Vosper. The ambulance was just departing, and Charlie was watching it go as he lit his pipe.
‘Well?’ asked Paul.
The inspector growled and carried on lighting his pipe. ‘He’s been in that water some time. Probably since Monday.’
‘Was he drowned?’ Paul asked.
‘I don’t know. We’ll have to wait for the autopsy.’ He threw a match into the ground level of the barn and watched to see whether it carried on burning. ‘From the look of him I’d say that his neck was broken, but there’s bound to have been a struggle. I’d like to know which happened first.’
Paul nodded. ‘It would make quite a difference.’
‘If he died of a broken neck he could have been killed elsewhere and then brought here later. That would be easier.’
