"Watch Nick Carter," he said to himself, "and you'll always be learning something."
"Of course he didn't bury him then," Deever replied to Nick's question. "Haskell saw him digging the grave after midnight."
"Where do you suppose your brother's body was in the meantime?" asked Nick.
"Hidden in the garden somewhere."
Nick shook his head.
"There is no place in the garden where it could have been hidden. I have searched the place thoroughly."
"He may have taken it into the hospital; into his laboratory, perhaps."
"That can't be," said Nick. "You remember that Burns met the doctor coming in from the garden. If he had already brought in the body he wouldn't have come out again. On the other hand, the body couldn't have been in the garden, or Burns would have seen it. He looked all around for your brother."
For the first time Deever looked puzzled. He hesitated a long time before he replied. Then he said:
"Jarvis must have thrown Pat's body over the wall. He must have hidden it among the bushes in the direction of the river."
