There Mestorino, in reply to her question, said, "Trupheme is dead. His body is hidden in the cupboard."

In the evening it was she who locked the door of the apartment after Mestorino had dragged out the body in a sack, and it was she who took down the keys to the concierge. She said that she did not see Meatorino again that night.
