The murders in the Rue Morgue part 2
Storyboard Text
- So now we have three points: the strange voice, the incredible agility and the absence of any motive for the murders!
- Let us now imagine that we are in the room in the Rue Morgue. The only possible exit that remains are the windows. The murderers passed through the windows in the back room!! There are two indows in this room. I went to the first one and with difficulty I took the nail out, but it was impossible to replace this nail from the outside. Then I turned to the second one and once again I pulled the nail, but this time when I took it out I saw that what I had in my hand was only a part of the nail! It was broken and I saw that the fracture was very old. The next question is how the murderers got down from the fourth floor to the ground. Less than two metres from the window I have just spoken about, there is a lighning rod which runs to the ground, so you would need to have an almost animal-like agility to get in the room and to get out! Considering the inside of the apartment, the peculiar thing is why the assassins did not take the gold.

- Besides, we also know that it was the voice of the Frenchman who said the words "My God" so, certainly this Frenchman knew about the murders. I imagine that the orangoutang escaped from him and that he followed it to the house in the Rue Morgue. But after the confusion, I don't believe that he recaptured it. If the Frenchman is innocent of the murders, the advertisement which I left at the office of Le Monde last night will bring him to our house! I'm not sure if the owner is a sailor, but I found this piece of ribbon at the bottom of the lightning rod and it is the type that sailors use to tie their hair in a ponytail. Our man is innocent of the murders, but he knows about them, so I believe he will come here!
- The murderer must be incredibly strong, since the old lady's head was completely separated from the body and his hands easily encircled the throat! Besides, the hair of the murderer that I found is no human hair!! Reading the article that I found in a book on ethology I think I found the answer: a large orangoutang of the East Indian islands!!
- It ran out of the room I were and then jumped out of an open window. He ran and climbed the lightning rod and got itself into the room. But then he took Madame L'Espanaye by the hair and cut her throat with the razor. Next, he jumped upon the girl, putting its hands around her throat until she too was dead. He saw me on the window so I ran home.
- My friend, there's no need to be alarmed. I know that you're innocent of the murders in the Rue Morgue. But you must admit that you are involved in them in some way. You have nothing to hide. But every principle of honour obligs you to confess all that you know. An innocent man is now on prison. You must tell us who the real perpetrator is.
