She had something there.
Arym pouted “If I fix Doc, will you do it?” she asked.
“What do you mean?”
“I didn’t kill the old fool. I wanted to have a hold on you so that Ross would work for Andasca.”
“Now look here, Arym, it’s no use lying. You did kill him. I saw him die,” I said coldly.
“You thought you saw him die,” Arym said, smiling. “Haven’t you heard of mass hypnotism?”
I ran my fingers through my hair, “What are you getting at?” I said. “Mass hypnotism? I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“You’re not being very bright, are you darling?” she said patiently. “All I did was to put Doc in a coma and hypnotize you and Sam into believing he was hurt. The letter and the dress were planted to give the right atmosphere.”
“I don’t believe it,” I said, “the cops saw him too.”
“So what?” she returned “I was there all the time, although you couldn’t see me. It was as easy to hypnotize the cops as you.”
