Re: The Pollis
Dr Douglas studied the young man sat on his prison cot intently. Whatever had happened to Donald McColl that dark night up in Strathmorn, Jamie McLeod was telling the truth.

“I never saw him,” said McLeod, tears starting to form in his eyes. “I don’t remember much about the house. I was so tired, I just wanted to sleep.”

Re: The Pollis
Father O Shaban, still looking around the place with interest, spoke almost to himself but at the same time clearly doing it as a question towards the almost tearing man.

”Ma shoes?” said McLeod, looking puzzled. “I don’t understand, Father. Why would ma shoes be any different?”
He looked down at his feet. He wore a battered pair of working men’s boots which showed signs of considerable wear and tear. ”These are them. The only ones I’ve got.”

Father Ó Shaban seemed to think for a moment and then asked towards McLeod.BoyBlunder78 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 06, 2022 8:32 pm Dr Douglas turns to Sarjeant Lorimer "what evidence have you git against him? Other than he just happened to be in the building? "
"How much forr ze shoes? I can pay forr Mister Hamish to get you new ones. And I keeb yourrs."
Wathever was the conclusion of that he asked the Sargent Lorimer something.
"Where was ze body found? Nearr or far away from ze house?"

Re: The Pollis
McLeod looked at the others. Was this some kind of joke? Why was this weird old priest trying to buy his shoes?
Before he could answer, Serjeant Lorimer interrupted and said, ”Sorry, Father, but ye cannae take his shoes away. They might be needed as evidence.”
“Speaking of which,” he continued, turning to Dr Douglas, “Strathmorn is an isolated place, miles from anywhere. If any strangers had been in the village they’d have been seen. When Donald McColl was murdered there was only one person who couldnae vouch for his whereabouts, and that was young Jamie here.”
“As for where the body was found, all I know was that it was found in the village. I didnae attend the scene of the crime as I’d been working nights that week.”

Re: The Pollis
"How did he die? Where is the body now?" Dr Douglas asked Sarjeant Lorimer.
Re: The Pollis
"I was about to ask if strangers were in Strathmorn, so that answers that question," says Bonnie. "What can ye tell us about Donald McColl, Sarjeant?"

Re: The Pollis
Serjeant Lorimer thought for a moment. “He was well-liked, I reckon. Bit of a local celebrity - he could toss a caber like nae one else for miles around. Mind ye, me and ma lads had tae have words with him from time tae time. The Earl disnae take kindly to locals poaching his birds. Nivver actually caught him in the act, but when ye find a man ‘oot fae a walk’ in the early hours, ye ken what he’s been up tae.”
He shook his head. “Once the coroner was done with him, he was buried at the local kirk. Closed coffin - he wasnae a pretty sight.”
“Now, has anyone got any more questions for young Jamie here? Otherwise, I’ll need tae be getting on.”

Re: The Pollis
Inspector Sinclair looks less than pleased when Dr Douglas enters his room and asks for a copy of the coroner’s report. He bellows down the corridor, “Serjeant Lorimer! What are these civilians still doing in my police station?!”
Hearing his boss yell, Lorimer says, “He’s nae happy!Ye’d better go!” and he showed the party to the front desk. As he hold the door open for them to leave, he says quietly, “I’ll tell ye one thing. McColl was torn to shreds. I’m nae sure that McLeod could have done that!” He nodded and let the door close, leaving them out on the street.
