The Dead of Jericho

Colin Dexter

27,170 words

モース警部はビールを飲みながら、それほど遠くないところに住んでいる魅力的な女性のことを考えていた。当の彼女は自宅のキッチンの天上から首をつり、死んでいる。一脚の椅子が足元から2メートルほど離れた床に倒れていた。モース警部はビールを飲み干し、もう一杯注文した。結局のところ彼はアンの家に行くだろう。だが、それほど急いでいるわけではない。そうこうする間も、アンはキッチンで宙づりになったままで、警察が来て降ろしてくれるのを待っている。今や彼女も全く急いではいない。

Chief Inspector Morse is drinking a pint of beer. He is thinking about an attractive woman who lives not far away. The woman he is thinking of is hanging, dead, from the ceiling of her kitchen. On the floor lies a chair, almost two metres away from the woman's feet. Chief Inspector Morse finishes his pint, and orders another. Perhaps he will visit Anne, after all. But he is in no particular hurry. Meanwhile, Anne is still hanging in her kitchen, waiting for the police to come and cut her down. She is in no hurry, either.
