Chapter 2 the murder of Henry words

At the same time as Dr. Phibes is in his basement in a different location in London there is a big house and inside of the big house there is a giant office that is filled up with expensive furniture including an expensive desk and at the particular desk there is a middle-aged man called Henry words who at the moment is doing paperwork to do with his life.

Out of interest I have an interesting life especially when it comes to the matter that I was a soldier in the war in Germany that was in the end of the last decade.

Then his wife walked into the room and started talking to him.

I am now leaving to go to the theatre to watch a show and are you sure you do not want to come to the theatre with me?

I am sure because I must stay here and do some paperwork.

Okay and I will see you later.

Then she walked out of the room.

Then she walked down a long corridor.

Then she walked out of the front door.

Outside of the house she got into a horse and carriage.

Across the Street in a car Dr. Phibes is watching the house and waiting for Mr Word's wife to leave.

After Mr Word's wife did leave Dr. Phibes and his female assistant drove the car crossed the street.

Then Dr. Phibes and his female assistant got out of the car.

Then Dr. Phibes and his female assistant snuck into the house through the back door.

Back inside Mr Word's house Mr Words is still doing paperwork and at the moment he is drinking a bottle of whiskey from his own private collection in his whiskey basement.

Then Mr Words got up and walked to the bathroom.

A couple of minutes later Mr Words walked out of the bathroom and walked back to his office.

Then Mr Words noticed that the bottle of whiskey he was drinking from was empty and because of that matter he picked up the empty bottle of whiskey and looked at it and started thinking to himself about it.

I must have drunk it and forgot about it and because of that I must get more whiskey.

Then Mr Words walked out of his office.

Then Mr Words walked down some stairs to a corridor which goes to his whiskey basement to do with his private collection of whiskey.

Then suddenly when Mr Words was walking down the corridor which goes to his whiskey basement to do with his private collection of whiskey he was hit on the head and knocked out.

A couple of minutes later Mr Words woke up tired down in a Bath tub.

Who is out there?

Then Dr. Phibes walked into the room and looked at him.

Then Mr Words started talking to Dr. Phibes.

Who are you?

Because Dr. Phibes did not have his device which he cannot talk without with him he was unable to answer so he continued to look at Mr Words without saying anything.

What do you want?

Then his female assistant turned on some music very loud and walked over to the Bath tub.

Then Mr Words looked at her and said why are you doing this to me?

She took no notice of him and started to pour the bottles of whiskey into the Bath tub.

You are wasting my private whiskey.

Dr. Phibes's female assistant continue not listening to Mr Words and continued pouring the whiskey into the Bath tub.

Seriously you are wasting thousands of pounds worth of whiskey.

Dr. Phibes's female assistant continue not listening to Mr Words and continued pouring the whiskey into the Bath tub.

Out of interest are you really going to murder me like this?

Dr. Phibes's female assistant continue not listening to Mr Words and continued pouring the whiskey into the Bath tub.

Why won't you talk to me?

Dr. Phibes's female assistant continue not listening to Mr Words and continued pouring the whiskey into the Bath tub.

Why are you doing this?

Dr. Phibes's female assistant continued to pour the bottles of whiskey into the Bath tub which is filling up.

Then Mr Words started screaming but because of the loud music not even the neighbours could hear his screams for help as he is slowly drowning in the whiskey from his private collection of whiskey in the Bath tub.

The whiskey got higher and higher in the Bath tub and because of that Mr Words is very close to drowning.

The whiskey got higher and higher in the Bath tub and because of that Mr Words is very close to drowning more.

The whiskey got higher and higher in the Bath tub and because of that Mr Words is very close to drowning even more.

Then Mr Words Managed to say help 1 more time before he drowned.

After Mr Words was dead from drowning in the whiskey from his own private collection Dr. Phibes and his female assistant walked out of the room and out of the house and they both got back into the car and drove away.

Later at 11.00 AM at the house of Mr Words the inspector who is looking for Dr. Phibes who is named Inspector Harry Trout Is talking to the victim's wife.

Do you know anyone who wanted to murder your husband?

I couldn't possibly think of a reason why anyone would want to kill him because my husband was a good man.

Inspector somebody said calling him over.

Excuse me for a minute Mrs Words we will continue this in a minute.

Then Inspector Trout walked into the bathroom.

Inside of the bathroom the medical examiner started a conversation with inspector Trout to do with how the murder was done.

Inspector Trout the victim died from been tied down in a Bath tub and drowned with bottles of whiskey been poured in it and It was a terrible way to die.

That is true to be drowned with very expensive bottles of whiskey from his own Private collection.

Do you think it is your murderer whodunit?

Do you mean Dr. Phibes?

Yes I do.

It is hard to tell because he escape from Egypt when me and my old boss Waverly was looking for him over their so it could be him and out of interest my boss Waverly died over there from bad food poisoning.

Inspector Trout walked out of the bathroom.

Outside of the bathroom Inspector Trout walk down some stairs.

Then Inspector Trout walked up to the victim's wife and continued to talk to her.

Mrs Words did your husband know a man called Dr Anton Phibes?

The name sounds familiar and I think I have heard it before.

Can you go into more detail about that?

Yes I think he was a business partner of my husband.

When did your husband last do business?

He always does business but in the sense that you mean not since 1920.

Why what happened in 1920?

Mrs Words Hesitated for a minute then she answered.

In 1920 my husband did a Ponzi scheme and stole a lot of money from a load of rich men and women which probably included the man you mentioned.

Your husband did a Ponzi scheme.

Yes he was friends with the criminal Charles Ponzi who gave him the idea because he was my husband's business partner and they stole a lot of money as well before he was locked in prison like he is at the moment.

How did that happen?

I don't know the details but apparently my husband and the criminal Charles Ponzi planned the Ponzi scheme in 1918 after my husband stop fighting in the war in Germany and it took 2 years to complete and out of interest my husband got away with it and successfully stole $200 million and the criminal Charles Ponzi on the other hand got away with the crime and was arrested for a different crime and out of interest do you think my husband could have been killed for the Ponzi scheme in 1920 by the man you mentioned?

It is hard to tell at this point but that is probably the answer.

That is bad to think about that my husband got murdered for something him and the criminal Charles Ponzi did 8 years ago.

That is correct and out of interest if the person I am talking about did commit the murder then the reason why he murdered your husband for something him and the criminal Charles Ponzi did 8 years ago is because he is a very evil man who never forgives anything that happened to him.
