“Who shot(枪击) her?" cried Mr. Rogers as he rushed into the hospital three minutes after his ex-wife(前妻) died from a gunshot through her head.

“Just a minute, Mr. Rogers," said Detective Timo. "We'll have to ask you a few questions first. Although you have been divorced (离婚) for the past six months, you still live in the same house with your ex-wife, Mary Ann, right?"

"That's right," replied Mr. Rogers.

“Did you have trouble recently?"

“Well...yesterday, when I told her I was going on a business trip, she threatened (威胁) to kill herself. I had to take a bottle of iodine (碘酒) quickly from her hands because she was about to drink it. When I left last night at seven, I told her I was spending the night with friends in Sewickley. She didn't argue(争论). And I got back to town this afternoon," continued Mr. Rogers. “I called home and the mad(女佣) answered."

“Just what did she say?" asked Detective Timo.

"She said, 'Oh, Mt. Rogers, they took the poor mistress to St. Ann's Hospital about half an hour ago. Please hurry to her.' She was crying, so I couldn't get anything else out of her. Then I hurried here. Where is she?"

"The nurse will show you," said Detective Timo with a nod.

“A strange case," said the police.“This couple is a little too much for me! A man and a woman living together after being divorced six months!"

"Did anyone tell Mr, Rogers that Mary Ann died from a gunshot before he arrived?" asked Detective Timo, deep in thought.

"Nobody did. I ordered everyone who knows the details of the case not to discuss it""That's the point. You'd better detain (拘留) Mr. Rogers. If he didn't shoot her himself, I'm sure he knows who did."
