The Perfect Crime

Alice Jackson's husband, Henry, was a human of habit. So it was that at exactly six o'clock in the evening she was in the kitchen getting a beer for him out of the fridge and watching him walk up the path.

She was smiling. Today the routine was going to be different. It was their tenth hymeneals anniversary, and some friends were coming round for drinks at 8.00. There was a big water ice statue of a couple kissing in the middle of the tabular array in the living room, with twenty glasses waiting for the guests. Alice was looking forrad to the evening.

She was very happy. She had a beautiful infant sleeping upstairs, a lovely abode, and a husband who she adored.

Henry opened the door and came into the kitchen. She turned round to kiss him and give him his beer.

'Sit down down,' Henry said. 'I've got something to say.

Alice had no idea that in the side by side two minutes her whole life was going to change.

'I'k sad,' he said. 'And it's our anniversary, besides. Simply it's just that Kathy and I are in love. Bobby won't miss me, he's as well young.'

She didn't believe her ears. She was in a dream.

'I'll get set for the party,' she said.

She walked into the living room. When she returned, Henry was standing with his back to her, drinking his beer. She was carrying something heavy. He turned. 'What on earth … ?' These were Henry Jackson's last Words. His wife striking him over the caput.

At first he didn't movement, and then he fell to the floor.

All of a sudden Alice began to think very clearly. She took the ice statue back to the living room, and phoned the constabulary.

So she turned up the central heating, and went upstairs to put on some brand-up.

The police force came chop-chop.

'Is he all right?' she asked.

'He'due south expressionless.'

Alice screamed. 'No, no, non Henry! My Henry! Oh Henry!' Through her tears she told how she put the baby to bed, and came downstairs to discover Henry on the kitchen floor.

'Burglars,' said Detective Parry.

They took her into the living room.

'Sit down, Mrs Jackson. Sergeant Taylor, get Mrs Jackson a drink. A brandy with some ice. Phew! It's hot in this room. I hope you understand, Mrs Jackson, that we have to search the house immediately. We must find the murder weapon.'

The room was getting hotter. Suddenly an arm fell off the ice statue onto the table. Information technology was melting. Sergeant Taylor went to the statue and picked upwardly the melting arm. He broke information technology into bits and put some into Alice's brandy.

'Phew! Can I take a glass of water, Mrs Jackson? It's then hot in here.

'I call up we all need one,' said the detective. 'And with ice.' They were all very hot and thirsty.

Alice's friends arrived. 'Poor Alice! Poor Henry!' They cried, and they tried to comfort her.

'Oh, thanks, thank you,' sobbed Alice. 'Please … stay and have a drinkable. Help yourselves.'

They all had drinks — gin and tonic, whisky — and they all had water ice. The statue was at present virtually a pool of water on the floor.

'I wonder what the burglar striking him with,' said one guest.

'Who knows?' said another, taking a sip of her drink.

Alice heard this conversation, and smiled into her brandy.
