Cool Mickey... “A young woman, Betty Finn, who had a life insurance policy with us, has died,” Fred Fraudstop explained to Dr Quicksolve. “It looks as if she may have been murdered by her best friend right in her own apartment.” “Did she have a fight with this friend?” Dr Quicksolve asked. “The police say they can’t find any evidence of a fight or any motive. That’s what puzzles them,” Fred responded. “Whose name was on the policy as beneficiary?” “Her husband, of course, but he was out of the apartment when it happened.” Quicksolve asked, “How was she killed?” “Poison...” was the response. “Let’s go and talk to this friend,” Dr Quicksolve said, getting up from his chair. They arrived at the home of Mary Scapegoat, the accused friend. She came to the door. She was obviously upset about what had happened. “I don’t know how she was poisoned. I just know that I didn’t do it,” Mary Scapegoat told them. “Just tell me what happened,” Dr Quicksolve said. “Betty, her husband Mickey, and I were at their house. Mickey went to the kitchen to make drinks for us. When he brought the drinks out, he took a little sip of Betty’s drink just before he gave it to her. She complained and said he had given her too much ice to begin with, and then he had the nerve to drink some of hers. He laughed and said he was going to get some beer.” She paused and then added, “Then he left. He’d been gone about ten or fifteen minutes when Betty collapsed and fell to the floor. I couldn’t wake her, so I called an ambulance. Mickey got home just as the ambulance pulled away. I think he poisoned her, but I can’t prove it, especially since I said I saw him drink from the glass. I was the last one with her, so I was arrested. I didn’t do it.” “I think you didn’t, but I’m not sure about Mickey. I can think of one way he might have done it,” Dr Quicksolve said.
