Fielding was containing his joy at the sight of Sanders pretty effectively. “Yes?” he said, drawling out the word insultingly.

“Simple matter, Mr. Fielding. I would like to know the provisions of Mr. Neilson’s will. In outline, for the moment.”

Fielding looked bored. “I doubt if it’ll give you much to go on. Basically he split his estate between his wife and his son. The wife holds the son’s share in trust until he reaches twenty-one. If she dies at the same time, or close to the same time as her husband, her sister becomes the child’s guardian, with a compensatory sum for her troubles.”

“Like?”

“Five hundred thousand, I think. Not much when you consider the size of the estate. She would manage things for him with the assistance of two other trustees until he reached twenty-one. It’s a very safe, conservative will. I don’t encourage my clients to have wills that are guaranteed to be contested.”

“Did Mr. Neilson have any enemies?”

“I’ve been through all this, you know. You can look it up. Rivals, yes. Enemies, no. Good day, Inspector.”
