Author's Note: Thanks for the wonderful reviews. I appreciate it.
They left Mark's office and headed to Sharona's house. They were sitting at her kitchen table with Benjy thinking about the case. "So, do you think that Mark Sluvay was involved?" Sharona asked.
"No, I don't think so. He seemed taken aback when I suggested that Catherine murdered Niles. She must have done it alone, but how? Niles could have easily fought her off. She's too short to strangle a six foot tall man and not have a struggle."
Sharona's phone started ringing, and she walked over and picked it up. "Hello," she said.
"Yeah, hi Sharona, is Monk there?" Captain Stottlemeyer asked.
"Yes, here he is," she said as she handed Monk the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Monk, the autopsy of Niles Sluvay came back. It says that there were traces of poison in his stomach, but he also has all the signs of strangulation."
"Really. That's interesting. Thanks, Captain," Adrian said and hung up the phone. "Poison. Why would she..."
"Hey, Mr. Monk, check this out. Mr. Disher gave it to me." Benjy was holding up a hand held tape recorder. "Say something, Mr. Monk."
"What-what should I say?"
"Anything. Just say something," Benjy said as he pushed record.
"Hello. This is Adrian Monk speaking."
"Awesome. Now listen. It'll play back what you said in a bunch of different voices." Monk's voice was played in slow motion, and then Benjy changed it so that it went really fast, making him sound like a chipmunk. "Pretty cool, huh?"
"Wait," Monk said. His eyes opened wide and he had a huge smile.
"You know how she did it, don't you?"
Monk nodded his head, still smiling.
