  【Text】

  At the time the murder was committed, I was travelling on the 8 o'clock train to London,said the man.Do you always catch such an early train?' asked the inspector.Of course I do, answered the man. I must be at work at 10 o'clock. My employer will confirm that I was there on time.Would a later train get you to work on time? asked the inspector.I suppose it would, but I never catch a later train.At what time did you arrive at the station?At ten to eight. I bought a paper and waited for the train.And you didn't notice anything unusual?Of course not.I suggest, said the inspector, that you are not telling the truth. I suggest that you did not catch the 8 o'clock train, but that you caught the 8.25 which would still get you to work on time. You see, on the morning of the murder, the 8 o'clock train did not run at all. It broke down at Ferngreen station and was taken off the line.
