When he saw inspector Jones knocking the door,he went to his room and wore a hat, glasses and fake chin,so he seemed completely different.
He got down stairs twards the door and opened it,but part of his body remained behind the door."Good evening"said the inspector,
"Good evening for you to sir,"said Mr.Hemsly in a voice that almost can be heard.
"Is Mr.Hemsly inside"
"No,sir..,He started stammering in his words,he left home since morning."
"May I come in,"said Inspector Jones.
"Just give me a secound," said Mr.Hemsly,while he was closing the door.Then he went to his room and opened his suitcase,he took the gun inside it and hid it under his shirt,then he walked to the door and opened for Inspector Jones.
"Sorry,I took so long,"said Mr.Hemsly
"No need to be sorry,"said the inspector,he entered the house as he was looking at Mr. Hemsly's face.
Mr.Hemsly turned his back to Jones and went twards the Wardrobe shelf and took some matches and lit a candel and put it on the window rack and let the matches next to the candel.
Jones sat on the chair in the cornor of the room with his back to the wall,looking at Mr.Hemsly,"would you like to have some tea,sir,"said Mr. Hemsly.
"Yes,please.."
So,Mr.Hemsly put the teaput on the fire stove and stood near by it to boil.
Jones seemed to be thinking deeply while he was looking at Mr.Hemsly.
"Would you lend me those matches please?,I want to smoke a pipe"said the Inspector.
"Here they are" said Mr.Hemsly,as he lend the matches to Jones.
"When will he return home?..do you know where he went?" said the Inspector.
"I have no idea..,sir." Mr.Hemsly replyed.
"Who are you?..why are you in his home at this late time of night?" Said Inspector Jones,as he put his hand on his thigh.
"I... " ,he stopped talking for a moment, "I am his brother, he told me to take care of his littel doughter" said Mr.Hemsly.
"Hmm... are you lying at me!,Mr.Hemsly's doughter died since two years."said Inspector Jones.
Mr.Hemsly remained silent and didn't say a word,he seemed upset,the candel fire shown red on Mr.Hemsly's glasses.
"What do you want from Mr.Hemlsy!"
shouted Mr.Hemsly at Jones.
Jones stood up and said "I know this voice very well and I can distinguish it from thousands of voices,"he Continued his words in a cynical voice.
"You can take your hat and that fake chin off of your face,Mr.Hemsly"said Inspector Jones,he took his gun and faced it towards Mr.Hemsly's face by the time that Mr.Hemsly faced his gun towards The Inspector's face.
"Surrender,put your hands behind your head."shouted Jones.
Mr.Hemsly didn't say a word,he only faced his gun towards Jones's face.
