6.这是疯子所为

“你会发现，”我的朋友继续说，“我还一直想回答另外一个问题。”不光是‘如何逃

出房间?’，还有‘他是如何进来的?’我认为他出入都是靠着这扇窗户和同样的方法。

“但是现在，让我们再回到房间里。你记得吧，地上有阿道夫·勒邦三天前带到那儿的两袋

子黄金。看到这些很是激动!将近4,000法郎的黄金啊!他们说这就是的作案动机所

在。的确，4,000法郎的黄金是很大一笔钱，当然可能是的一个作案动机。但记住，我

的朋友，金子并没被拿走——它仍旧在那儿，放在地板上。这到底是怎样一种窃贼啊?他愚

蠢至极，了两个女人，走时却忘了带上金子!不，不，须忘掉黄金。这不是这桩

凶杀案的动机。”
