I'm at the vicar's house.
I'm here because last night, when I returned to the inn, I found my uncle.
Dead.
Lying on the floor with a knife in his back.
When Mr Bassett arrived with his men, they found my aunt's body upstairs.
She'd also been stabbed.
The vicar suggested I stay with him.
He came to the inn as soon as he read my note.
He's not here.
He left before I woke up.
While I've been waiting for him, I've been thinking about who the killer could be.
Mr Bassett asked me if I had an idea who it was.
I told him I didn't.
But that's not true.
I remember how Jem told me that he hated his brother.
So, they'll catch and hang him.
Or else he'll ride away, laughing at me.
Either way.
