Terminal
“By then, Max and I had figured out that every single piece of paper in the file boxes was a copy, even the color photos. I was guessing Xerox didn’t make whatever the Mole’s people had used for the job.
“Motherfucker!” the Prof burst out, when he saw the mountain. “What’d those fools do, rob a paper factory?”
“It’s all on the case,” I said. “I don’t know how much work they really put in, don’t know how much of this is just cops playing CYA, but it’s all on Melissa Turnbridge, Prof.”
“So you’re ...saying, if we’re not gonna cheat, we gotta check every fucking sheet?”
I didn’t even answer him. The reason so few crimes actually get solved—if you don’t count informants, or fools who don’t clean up after themselves—is because of prejudice. Not black-white kind of prejudice—that’s what pins crimes on the wrong man, sure, but that’s not what muddies the water if you’re really looking for answers. I mean the kind of prejudice that makes the investigator start with a bent mind.MoreLess
