Later in the day, much to the chagrin of both the Publican and his clientele, Ian emptied the pub. Sean and MacMurdo’s bodies, now on tables, were covered with horse-blankets. Constable Blake had returned, unable to find the doctor, who was attending a patient on another part of the island. The constable had left word that the physician was needed at the pub and returned to the Spotted Dog to report. Blake now sat in a corner, watching Ian refer to his notes while deeply in conversation with Tasha.

“You over-think things.” Ian tapped his notebook with his finger. “I got one creed that hits pay-dirt every time. I always track down a motive, and we both know where that trail leads. There’s only one varmint who wants McGloury’s land.”

“Laird MacGregor?” said Mother doubtfully.

“You have objections?”

“One or two. Why would he kill McGloury’s brother after he had agreed to sell him the croft?”

“We’ve only his word on that.”

Tasha shook her head, “It’s too easily checked for it to be a fabrication.”

Ian put down his notebook, filled a glass from a bottle of (non-alcoholic) Iron Brew on the table, and said evenly, “As far as I can see, there’s no one else with a motive.”

“You must extend your horizon, Inspector. There is someone else. With time I will prove it.”

“Maybe … but what I say goes.” Ian motioned to the constable in the corner. “Blake, stay here and wait for the doctor!” He pointed to the two dead bodies. “I want to know what killed those men.” Ian shifted his extended finger to Mother. “Meanwhile, we’re going to pay Laird MacGregor a visit!”
