тАЬAnd how was that?тАЭ Doyle asked curtly. And when Spencer started telling him, Doyle snapped. тАЬHell, I
heard that story once. The guy didn't see anything in that radar contraption that made him bust it up.
Maybe he thought he did. Who knows what a crazy man thinks he sees?тАЭ

тАЬSergeant, the sister doesn't think it was suicide.тАЭ

Completely disgusted, Doyle shoved his jaw out and said, тАЬWhat're you tryin' to do, give me the idea one
of you guys hanged him?тАЭ

Spencer said bitterly, тАЬThe hell with you, Sergeant,тАЭ and walked out. He telephoned a Miss Cook, a girl
friend of Gail's, and when the young lady arrived with her mother, he collected Gibble and went back to
the station. Gibble was not particularly downcast during the ride. The ghoul, Spencer thought. Thinks he
has a better chance at Gail now that Dan is out of the way.

Spencer was off duty at four. A little before that hour, Gail appeared at the station. She was chalk-faced,
thin-lipped, and tense with determination.

тАЬSpence, I want you to show me where Dan first began acting strangely,тАЭ she said.

тАЬYou'd be better not to look at it,тАЭ Spencer said, after hesitating. тАЬIt was the downstairs scope room. I
don't knowтАФthey may have cleaned up the wreckage. There probably isn't much for you to see. Why
don't you forget it, Gail?тАЭ

тАЬI don't think Dan took his own life.тАЭ

Spencer pocketed his hands self-consciously, and finally explained, тАЬNeither did I at first, Gail, but I've
thought it over and changed my mind. The evidence that he did was pretty conclusive.тАЭ

тАЬEvidence!тАЭ Gail shook her head tensely. тАЬThere was no note. Dan had a bath this morning. He would
never bathe twice a day. Why, he didn't like but one bath a week.тАЭ

тАЬI know, Gail, and I'm sorry. But that's what the police seem to think.тАЭ
тАЬWill you take me to the scope room?тАЭ

тАЬIf you insist, but it won't do any good.тАЭ

The scope room where Dan had been working had, as Spencer had indicated, been partly restored to
order. It was a slow process. Technicians from the laboratory which prepared the experimental radar
equipment were going over the wreckage carefully to salvage what they could. It wasn't much.

Gail frowned thoughtfully. тАЬAren't the images from a specific antenna often piped to more than one
scope, or to recording cameras?тАЭ

тАЬWhy, yes,тАЭ Spencer admitted. тАЬBut how did you know that?тАЭ

тАЬOh, Dan told me quite a lot about the operations that weren't restricted. . . . Do you suppose there
could have been a recording camera on the scope Dan was watching?тАЭ

тАЬSay, I never thought of that.тАЭ
