Chapter 20

We had lunch again with the Captain and Inspector Rashan. They were no closer in solving the case than we were. However, Inspector Rashan did say he had a couple of people he was going to continue to investigate, including the people at table nine.

I asked the Inspector, "Any information on how Barsha might have died?"

"The ship's doctor has examined the body thoroughly, the best he could with not much equipment. We'll know more when we can get her body to the coroner at our next port of call. The doctor says Barsha had a heavy blow to the side of her head, most likely caused by a sharp instrument, which probably was the cause of her death. What the weapon was, we're not sure."

"Is it possible that it could have been done with a golf club?" I asked.

"I suppose, like maybe a nine iron." I saw a slight hint of a grin on Inspector Rashan's face as he said this. Clearly he was a golfer. "Why do you ask? Did something maybe come out in one of your interviews?"

"Not really. It was just a thought. One of the staff we'll be interviewing is a golf player, and we believe he has a set of clubs. It's much too early to say anything. In fact, it just came to me this moment that I remember seeing blood on the victim's head. Kat and I will investigate the golf angle a little more and see what we can come up with."

The Captain asked, "Can you give us the person's name?"

"Of course I can, but I'd rather not just yet. Like I said, it's a new thought, but just as soon as we find anything, if we do, we'll let you both know."

We were so happy that Inspector Rashan didn't insist on being given the name. If he had, we would have had to tell him it was Alex. Everything was so premature. We were just searching for some kind of evidence, no matter how slight it might be.

I think Inspector Rashan realized it was much too early for us to give out the information we had. It made us feel good, knowing that he trusted us and our decision in not sharing his name at this time. Besides, we hadn't even interviewed Alex yet. We'd know more after we'd talked to him. I was a little excited though. It was the first hint that maybe we were on to something.

After lunch we went to our cabin and waited for Alex, Mike his roommate, and Ken Andrews. At exactly two o'clock, right on time, a knock came on the door.

This time Kat answered it. "Hi, Alex. Thanks for coming."

There was only one other person with Alex, so Kat asked him, "Are you Mike or Ken?" While saying this, she extended her hand and he reached out and shook it.

"I'm Mike."

Kat said, "Come on in, Mike, and don't look so worried. Neither of you are suspects. We just want to ask you both some questions that might help us with the case.
