9. There Is a Light That Never Goes Out

Such a love seems to be like a light that never goes out; looking at the bride and groom, Watson allowed his thoughts to take romantic turn. It is quite unbelievable that they could have had something to do with the death of old Shankly, he sighed.

Suddenly he felt that Holmes pulled at his sleeve. They emerged from the church and the detective, mightily pleased, announced-

'We have been allowed an exhumation. In a few minutes Lestrade's people will arrive and take the body of Mr Shankly to Scotland Yard's laboratory. And we shall go with them.'

After about three hours, Doctor Watson who, with the assistance of a police surgeon, preformed the autopsy, declared that the cause of death was a perfectly natural heart attack.
