Answer 2

They called the police when they saw a famous detective Hercule Poirot. He lived in this house three years ago. He entered the flat while asking questions about the situation. He did it when he fished a letter out of the dead woman's pocket. The letter was: "I invited you to come to my flat the day before. You did not come at that time. Come to me today…" There was no piece of the letter, as if somebody had torn it. Poirot thought the letter was the cause of her death. Then he decided to make an investigative experiment. He asked young men to look for something unusual in the kitchen while he looked for it in the dining room. When Donahue found the same bottle and smelled it, he fell down. Everybody came to him. But Poirot found something in his pocket. There were the piece of the letter and the key to Patricia's flat! Everybody understood that Donahue was guilty. The dead woman was his wife the day before. But Donahue loved Patricia, and he killed the woman in the flat yesterday. She had promised to tell Patricia about their marriage.
