[00:00:01] Lesson 87 A perfect alibi

[00:00:07] First listen and then answer the question

[00:00:13] What was wrong with the man's story

[00:00:19] 'At the time the murder was committed

[00:00:22] I was travelling on the 8 o'clock train to London'

[00:00:26] said the man

[00:00:28] 'Do you always catch such an early traing

[00:00:32] asked the inspector

[00:00:35] 'Of course I do' answered the man

[00:00:39] 'I must be at work at 10 o'clock

[00:00:42] My employer will confirm that I was there on time'

[00:00:48] 'Would a later train get you to work on time'

[00:00:52] asked the inspector

[00:00:55] 'I suppose it would but I never catch a later traing

[00:01:02] 'At what time did you arrive at the station'

[00:01:06] 'At ten to eight I bought a paper

[00:01:10] and waited for the traing

[00:01:14] 'And you didn't notice anything unusual'

[00:01:19] 'Of course not

[00:01:22] 'I suggest' said the inspector

[00:01:26] 'that you are not telling the truth

[00:01:29] I suggest that you did not catch the 8 o'clock train

[00:01:34] but that you caught the 825

[00:01:37] which would still get you to work on time

[00:01:41] You see on the morning of the murder

[00:01:44] the 8 o'clock train did not run at all

[00:01:48] It broke down at Ferngreen station

[00:01:51] and was taken off the line
