‘The best figure I’ve ever seen on a woman. Think it’s real?’
‘Could be. Did you see him bring that fishing-rod in here?’
He shook his head.
‘No; and I know he never had a fishing-rod. I asked the girl who cleans his room. She’s never seen one.’
‘Did she look under the bed?’
‘She cleans under it.’
‘The cops found it last night. Did she clean under the bed yesterday morning?’
He nodded.
‘What time?’
She was late. Perelli didn’t leave the apartment until twelve thirty. She didn’t start cleaning until one.’
