"There was a murder committed in this house," answered the Count. "When?" "Last night." "Who is the victim?" "Our pastor." "How was he killed?" "We do not know." "You are not a physician, then?" asked Muller, turning to Orszay. "Yes, I am," answered the latter. "Well?" "The body is missing," said Orszay, somewhat sharply. "Missing?" Muller became greatly interested.
He was a mechanician by trade, living in Budapest, and an unsuccessful invention turned his mind." "Is he a large, powerful man?" asked Muller. Dr. Orszay looked a bit surprised. "Why do you ask that? He does happen to be a large man of considerable strength, but in spite of it I have no fear of him.
"Of course, Gyuri told me to." "And why?" "He hated the pastor, for the old gentleman had no confidence in him." "Is this true?" Muller turned to the doctor. "I did not notice it," said Orszay with a voice that showed deep sorrow. "And you?" Muller's eyes bored themselves into the orbs of the young giant, now dulled with fear. Gyuri started and shivered.
The doctor nodded, greatly surprised, and the detective continued almost in a whisper, "and it is just about three years now that there have been committed, at intervals, three terrible crimes notable from the cleverness with which they were carried out, and from the utter impossibility, apparently, of discovering the perpetrator." Orszay sprang up.
"What course will the law take?" asked Orszay. "The poor unfortunate madman whose knife took all these lives cannot be held responsible, can he?" "Oh, no; his misfortune protects him. But as for the other, though his hands bear no actual bloodstains, he is more truly a murderer than the unhappy man who was his tool. Hanging is too good for him.
They seemed to be asking "Are you trying to discover anything about me?" coupled with a threat. "For your own sake you had better not do it." When the young man had left the room Muller rose hastily and walked up and down several times. His face was flushed and his lips tight set. Suddenly he exclaimed: "I do not like this Gyuri." Dr. Orszay looked up astonished.
