Edward Grimm visits the scene of murder
When they reached the scene of the murder, where Miss Karylenko was murdered, Mr.Grimm started his training again. He turned to Matilda and said, “I am too tired to walk around this house again. I want you to go and look for something we might have overlooked. If this was a robbery, it would have been for something rare and precious that Miss Karylenko possessed, not money. So go and look for a place that looks empty.” With those vague directions to Matilda, he sat down in a wooden rocking chair in the living room.

Matilda began to look around the house which still reeked of murder. She liked it when Mr.Grimm let her do the work. She felt like a real detective.
