The Pot Thief Who Studied Einstein
“Susannah started. Then she hesitated and evidently decided she needed to clarify. “The young one,” she said, “the one you didn’t kill—”
“I didn’t kill the older one either,” I pointed out.
“I know that, Hubie, but for now we have to go with the police’s version. Anyway, I was going to say that the young one must be Segundo Cantú, Junior. So that makes him ‘Second the Second’!”
“Maybe he’s not a junior,” I ventured. “Maybe they just happened to have the same name.”
“Right. Two guys named Segundo... Cantú, and one of them just happens to ask the other one – who lives on the same street by the way – to deliver his pots down to Spirits in Clay because there’s a guy down there in Old Town named Segundo Schuze who can copy them.”
“Except I’m not named Segundo.”
“It wouldn’t be any weirder if you were. They have to be father and son. And that should help us figure out who did it.”
She was in her element, a real live murder mystery. She loved it.MoreLess
