Speaker 2 (01:43):
The most delightfully fascinating character in the realms of mystery,
Charlie Channon. In the investigation of the murder of Ellen Lambdini,
(02:59):
A find You, Charlie Chan, the Honolulu Detective, has been
tasted the problem of too many people who, in their
own mind had sufficient reason to kill Landini. However, in
reading the Galley proofs of Landini's autobiography, Inspector Chan has
found something which to him seems to point definitely to
the murderer. The inspector is in the living room talking
(03:20):
to Old sam Holt, the sheriff's father, while in the
study Dudley Ward, owner of Find You, sits before the
fire talking to Louis Romano.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
What else, sir, did they say and what else did
they wish to know?
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Mister Romano, This peter very high to say, a mister Ward,
that you see they seem to be trying to prove
that our.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Thing is the one who q the elect our thing
would do a thing like that, mister Ward.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
I do not know. I know that I not kill her.
I do not think to mister Rider do so. I
cannot think of it.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
To you, Thank you Romano. I have my own ideas.
Atto that considerably you say that they definitely proved that
assing did appear with the blanket, and then a few
moments afterward he was seen about him.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Oh that's a can be no doubt, mister Ward. It
is a plane as the what you call the nose
of the face.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
I won't know what explanation asking could be about that.
In fact, I wonder if they ever questioned him on
that point. I shall have to ask Arsen. But then
I don't like to interfere with mister Chan's investigations, you understand,
mister Romano.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Yes, of course me too. I do not say one
word more than I have to. Every time I open
my mouth, I feel that it means making the stay
is a miserable place. Mister Ward, your home is a
delightful that I think for the continental I.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Should be there, Yes, of course, spending land in his money.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
And why not I teach of the scene. I am
half a part of the that's a glorious points. I
give her what you call the opportunity.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
Why then she died not to receive but some of
her one From that point of view, perhaps from that
you are quite prect I think you willn't college telling
her desire for her career.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Well, I did not yes.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
So much time when when she was in there. What
I saw of pensive moods that she's telling me of
her life. We well here at the point of you
mentioned me, Oh, yes, the singer was never in anything
of was the very highest of a firm.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
That was kind of her. I tell John Ryner. Sometimes
we're all inclined to judge Ellen too. Harshly. She well,
she really belonged in a different kind of world. H
(06:00):
Mister Romano was sitting before a study fire. I was
getting up to leave, mister Chand.
Speaker 6 (06:05):
Please do not relieve you are welcome, indeed to remain.
Listen to our stepson. Come over to fire, miss speaking, Yes,
to speak.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Take my chair.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
I would think of it, mister Ward.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
But believe me, I'm going with well, to be frank,
with a number of guests, we have a kind view.
I do have to assist missus o'tello arcing and see
see you with the arrangements. Yay.
Speaker 7 (06:29):
Quite a few years the Latins there were parties this
side of fine views, yes, Sam not. In fact, since
gone here was about the height of that table.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Yeah, we kid you have Graham times with it. How
are you progressing, mister Chand in the matter of the
solution of the murder? Lendidly, mister Ward.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
In fact, I have promised Sherriff that within twenty four hours,
which will have murderers of Madame Landini under a record.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Well, I'm certainly glad to hear that.
Speaker 6 (06:57):
Yes, I thought you would, mister Ward. This has been
severe plain upon you. Houseful of people when you're with
most be alone.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Oh that's nothing, mister Chance. I'm glad for your sake
and don that you are so close to a solution.
I suppose it's well impossible even for me to ask
the sorry.
Speaker 6 (07:18):
Yes, it's word matters, rookie, you understand some Chance words.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
And quite I thoroughly understand, mister Chance. You have very quiet,
mister Romana.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Me oh or me, I have been what you call
a hold of fort before you coming to study. I'm
tell him, mister Ward.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
That every time Romano says that, every time he advances
a suggestion, he seems to well upset the young thought
along with the investigation.
Speaker 6 (07:47):
But no, Romana has been most helpful. You should have
no feelings?
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Is that next thing? Well, I'll go downstairs and leave
you to your discussions. You coming, mister Romano.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Yes, mister Ward, I think I shall perhaps the play
piano for a short of time, and then when there's
nothing but a bet here in this place.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
You expire anything, send for me, Sharon god Jariff speak.
Speaker 6 (08:16):
The solution is the murder of Madam Mandini is well
in touch with our fingertip.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
What was that you said?
Speaker 6 (08:21):
I'm curious, Sheriff manned labors for days for success, and
in the end success is thrown the most unexpected sauce
into his hand. I've never seen you before. Must be
important to down and speak and listen carefully. As Sheriff
reads from last chapter of Laandini's book, Yeah, Sheriff Galli
(08:42):
one hundred and ten, first paragraph of chapter twenty eight.
Speaker 8 (08:46):
Oh yeah, where it says up to my marvelously.
Speaker 6 (08:50):
Brad, Sheriff read, please first and make certain door has closed.
No one but has sell.
Speaker 9 (08:58):
I don't care where after my marvelously successful season in Berlin,
I came for a rest to stressor on lovely legos
like say, what is this language?
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Anyway?
Speaker 6 (09:10):
Is Italian? Lago majori second highest of the Italian? Late
Ladie readon Lago majoy.
Speaker 8 (09:17):
It is here on a balcony of the Grand Hotel.
It is more Italian that I write the concluding chapters
of my book. Where could I.
Speaker 9 (09:25):
Have found a more delightfully beautiful setting? I gaze in
turn at the aqemaline waffles, the fierce blue sky, and
the snow capped eye now far away I am enraptured by.
It is Sola Bella, with its fantastic palace, its green
terraces of orange and lemon trees rising a hundred feet
above the lake. The thing that is always made life
(09:45):
with while for me is color, plenty of color, and
personality and music and seeming. I have fitted many people
in my time, but none more so than one I
knew who was color blind, and Lord Harry color blind,
that poor luckless, so to whom all this gorgeous beauty
would seem a mere monotonous prospect of dull gray lake mountains,
(10:07):
freeze sky, all the same crest.
Speaker 8 (10:13):
Color blind.
Speaker 6 (10:14):
Precisely, the person who sent for a green scarf comes
back with a pink one, A poor luckless soul who,
having murdered Landini, and desiring to give semblance of order
to desk, places on yellow box the crimson lid, and
on crimson yellow lid. So far I found person not named,
(10:36):
but from tone in writing I am justified. I think
in saying one who was very close to Landini.
Speaker 10 (10:43):
I should see so, and that leads it leads my
brother Hu and me.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Reckless.
Speaker 6 (10:49):
Provided your brother had not met Landini before she went
to Lago majorre.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Oh, I know he hadn't.
Speaker 10 (10:56):
Landini hasn't been out of the United States.
Speaker 8 (10:58):
Now the job is who among the group Ireland?
Speaker 6 (11:02):
For you are things writer, War and Roman, My dear Sheriff,
do not worry. All things are more easily found by
man who knows for what he is looking. We now
know for whom we look. It shall be unwatched every
minute when we find him. Remember, it must be in
such manners that evidence is conclusive.
Speaker 7 (11:23):
If the chan's right, you've got to get that person.
But we must prove that that person is Colibrine.
Speaker 8 (11:29):
That shouldn't lit so hard.
Speaker 7 (11:30):
Now we've been living together here in this house a
good many days with someone who is colorbrin, but neither
you nor.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Anyone else seems to have noticed it.
Speaker 6 (11:39):
If the holes is right, strapping a person in such
manner as to present truth must be done with much care.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
I go now to my room.
Speaker 6 (11:48):
I fell through the contents books, and hope that person
somewhere is named, in which case murder will be solved.
Or the presence not one word, not one's time, that
we have made this chaplain ah Romana, retiring to your own.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Room, Yes to mister I cannot played the billiards a
day after day, and the piano not telling mister Water
but the action is a too hard. It is not
the kind of piano to which I am a cluss from.
It is what you call expended. The piano was not
a boot or you understand.
Speaker 6 (12:30):
The president, But I am not judges piano.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
Me me, I am this is the one. It has
a great name. But the book I do.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Not like it.
Speaker 6 (12:44):
And that is all I mentioned to you the form
of Romano. Landini had written book.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Yes, I know, matter of factor. At times I assist her.
Occasionally you understand in the writing.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
Were you, by any chance present when last capital is written?
The same was composed. I believe it's better for.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
I wasn't obtained at the parish at the time.
Speaker 6 (13:07):
But you know stressor I understand his useful spot the.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Beautiful now the world is nothing off bela stress, that
is a heavenly it's a divine ny the heels in
love with stress. But I must not have progested it
is one of the places to reach A dear Ellen's
the money you shall take me. I believe that I
(13:32):
shall have to make the lead when good night I
shall see you in the morning.
Speaker 6 (13:39):
Beautiful pressor late te the hell, but not one word
about color.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
It is the following morning, an inspector chair is dressing
when our seeing enters the room.

Speaker 3 (14:22):
Yes, what's your meaning?
Speaker 8 (14:24):

Speaker 6 (14:25):
I mean I think that you should cease to avoid
being trapped into admission, boldly come forth as to fit
one of your.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Birth and tell the truth. What all the time a
top control you're closest yours?
Speaker 4 (14:41):
They can make go back a China.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Yes, I think you're thinking me like to go back

think say something? Yes, I think something?
Speaker 6 (14:52):

Speaker 3 (14:54):
Anything?
Speaker 11 (14:55):
Making you think to me? Tell you something at all?
But I think, and I'll go back China? Oh much
of what kind is the place?
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Then? I think you have decided not to tell me

Speaker 11 (15:07):
Can play more me No, no, nothing the rest because
near no can help suppose that you or lets me
make one a jail.
Speaker 6 (15:17):
All right, record it all very well I sing, oh, oh,
watch matter nothing, I think I remembered presents from my
daughter Evelyn. It's very beautiful tie blaming color. Perhaps the
brightness of this tie will helps to light in the
gloom out surrounding.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
What do you think I think that tie? Yes? Tie?
Speaker 6 (15:44):
Or like it?
Speaker 3 (15:45):
But the color? I sing? Do you not like the
vivid color? Or color? Or like it all?
Speaker 6 (15:52):
But you you do like it? Or perhaps you like
blue better?
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Or me like it all?
Speaker 11 (15:59):
The color let and a flow and a clean and
a plank and a plaq and now allways tay a
thing like all the number one I think.
Speaker 6 (16:09):
Now I shall come to you a thing. Yeah, I'm
with you the morning, Oh, good morning, mister Romano, are
going down to breakfast.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
But yes, the christ spare Mistermontans and giving me the
bluff of tight. I'm not too good for the feature
with the chen such a being that mister Waters serve
here at the find you.
Speaker 6 (16:32):
Admit the truth of your remark with the Romano. I
find that my customary glass of Oren's juice is hardly sufficious.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
But the left the indulged.
Speaker 6 (16:42):
When one has proportions and samples, his mind leads but
to the za.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Good morning, Sheriff. He rested well, I try, I didn't
inspect her.
Speaker 10 (16:53):
Very well you with your here, mister Chan Thanks mister
will coffee this morning.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Thanks, Yes, it's you.
Speaker 10 (17:02):
It is very nice. Chris Brown tous Good morning, John,
good morning, good morning last.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Good morning, miss Stacy.
Speaker 6 (17:11):
Oh ah, I hope, mister Ward, good morning.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Good morning to your wall. Oh John, will you sit
opposite mister Chance, Thanks Dudley. Well, the inspector is the
solving of the mystery progressing? Or perhaps I should wait
till after breakfast before putting such a question.
Speaker 6 (17:28):
Everything is moving along and improved manner, mister Ward. We
shall soon be leaving kind views to your relief and
our regret or we have received your hands most hospitable wealth.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
I shall be sorry to see you leave time. You
will be very quiet after you go. Coffee, Thank you, Cecil.
By the way, Jen, i'd like to get away for
a day. I should go to San Francisco, the Rider.
Speaker 6 (17:56):
I can assure you that tomorrow you may leave if.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
You's so desire, providing this mystery is cleared up.
Speaker 6 (18:02):
Tomorrow, mister Rider, we shall all know who is the
person who so brutally killed Madame Landini and doctor Swan,
So you think, can not only think, mister Rider, So I.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Know, Thanks goodness, well, it will be a welcome release
to return to normal, say somehow dis perpetual thinking wondering
as to who amongst us right.
Speaker 6 (18:27):
So, mister Ward, it is extreme nervous strain, which in
time makes enemies out of best friends. Yes, will you
join me in study when you have finished Brexit read
your pardners rising from table.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Yes, yes, of course, thank your noticeable. Is it not serious?
Speaker 6 (18:52):
When one is looking for something, it trusts itself upon
one's mind. Both of us searching for a remark which
will indicate to us that one person is color blind.
The seal passes perfectly Ino sense remarks regarding Chris Brown,
I didn't think of it. On the other hand, I
(19:14):
try to trap ur thing into remarks about tie I've
worn this morning, and our sing baffles me with admissions
remarks yeses and no's, but fails utterly to convey to
me any idea as to whether or not he is
color blind.
Speaker 8 (19:31):
You think that he might be deliberately avoiding and criminating himself.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
One would be compelled to believe so from his evasion.
Speaker 12 (19:39):
Well, all that I can say, is it took willpower
on my part to keep remarking about the brilliant red
of the tie you're wearing. I knew, of course, if
you've done it for purposes. Oh, someone didn't mention it
is more than I can understand.
Speaker 6 (19:53):
And one is deliberately searching for something. Time seems to
drag on leaden seat man waiting for a swollen stream
to subside, held ages to pass over his head. I
tried also to trap Romano last night. You didn't yes,
sheriff their closed door, please the stamp. Last night I
(20:19):
spoke to Romano about Landini's book. He said that he
had assisted in writing. I mentioned Lago Majoris. He said
that he had been there.
Speaker 10 (20:29):
He did.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Yeah, he spoke of.
Speaker 6 (20:31):
The lake Shuy, the hills, the love Tresor. But not
once did he mention color.
Speaker 8 (20:41):
Like us saying deliberately avoiding.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
Ah, that is the trouble.
Speaker 6 (20:46):
Who can tell who deliberately avoids mention of color, or
who does not even think of color. It is, as
I say, those simple to detect in persons respect color blindness. Yes,
those simple in theory, that's so difficult to intact.
Speaker 12 (21:06):
I'm beginning to realize that myself. I watched the conversation
and hope that someone will say something that will give
me a lead. But well, the writer hasn't, hasn't given
any sign Mono, hasn't.
Speaker 6 (21:19):
Ward hasn't, mister Ryland, pilots of Landini's planes would not
be color blind. He could not obtain certificate as pilots.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
If it were. So. Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 8 (21:30):
Cacil mentioned brown toast. Of course, even a color blind
person brown toast. Of course, even a color blind person
can person remark like that everybody knows toast is brown.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Yes, all that you say is true, Shriff.
Speaker 6 (21:45):
It is only question of time, however, before we shall
detect proper curtains.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
All then that remains is.
Speaker 6 (21:53):
To track them into situations, which is acceptable as evidence.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
You think we can do that today? Both setting it.
Speaker 6 (22:00):
I have several methods in mine, one form writer another
force to steal in another formas to Ward, romana, Ah,
romana will be a little difficult.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Is very accuse? Impressed?
Speaker 6 (22:17):
Is mister m.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
That miss speaking? I shall leave you alone. Word, I
have a us.
Speaker 6 (22:29):
I'm in miss speaking. I'm going downstairs for.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
A few minutes. Oh I see, yes, that is.
Speaker 10 (22:46):
John. I I've been a little too.
Speaker 8 (22:50):
What's come over you?
Speaker 10 (22:51):
No, don't stop me. I may never have a courage again.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
What are you talking about that night?
Speaker 6 (22:57):
The night landing?
Speaker 10 (22:59):
And Inspector Chan has mentioned if someone was not telling me,
we all know that it was what I didn't tell,
the whole truth. I heard the shot, we all did.
I knew it came from the balcony. I didn't sit there,
dumb me. I ran to the balcony window, opened it,
(23:21):
so I figure leave the study by the bat.
Speaker 8 (23:24):
Ah sing Yeah, awesome.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Well that seems to settle it. But then that was
only the misleading shop. What of the real shot, the
one that killed Vandini? After your sponsor's message, Inspector Chan
will be with us again. Well, mister Chan, what Chinese
(25:34):
philosophical saying have you for us this evening?
Speaker 6 (25:37):
I have been thinking much of friends? Who was the
end of case of fine views? Hot go their different ways? Yes,
mister Chan, the man that the closes their days, It's
surrounded by trophy mementos, objects that they have collected by
aid of their wealth, unless they find but shadow of
(25:59):
your man, who sits with memories of great friendships, this
companions of his declining years. Is wealthy and substance more
precious by far than fine gold.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Welcome back. It's kind of interesting how quickly we go
from it's easy to find what you're looking for when
you know what it is, to it being very hard
to find something when you're looking for it. But such
as life, we did get some suspects eliminated that were
kind of on the periphery. Leslie and Hugh can be
(27:28):
eliminated for not having known Landini at the time she
was in Italy, But if anyone suspected them at this point,
I'd love to know what you were thinking. Same thing
for Ireland. The point was made about him not being
able to fly if he was colorblind. It used to
(27:48):
be very restrictive for anyone who is colorblind to be
a pilot, certainly in the military. Really was not allowed.
It was very restricted. When it came to being a
commercial pilot. They went through different phases. But remember that
(28:09):
the whole thing with Ireland flying over was he was
coming over at night to fly Landini back, and you
would not be flying at night if you were color blind.
Your ability to clearly distinguish color was crucial to being
able to read lights and signals. At night as you
were flying. Now a lot of this has changed in
(28:30):
the last decade or so, with new technologies and new
options making it possible for people with color blindness to
be pilots. But in the nineteen thirties definitely not the case.
So Ireland's out. But of course, the whole theory of
Ireland as the murderer involved him somehow flying the plane
(28:50):
and firing a god at the same time at Lndini,
and obviously whoever had done it had to be on
the ground. Again, not really a suspect that I've given
a lot of thought to, but now officially out of
the running. Leslie revealed what she knew, and it is
a damning piece of evidence against us singing. It might
(29:12):
even implement implicate him as an accessory. But did he
commit the murder? We'll find out next week. We have
three episodes in the serial and we will actually play
them all. And I'm my own theory, but I'm not
going to offer it now. Now. I will say I've
not read the rest of the book at this point,
(29:34):
and I've not listened to the final recording, and hopefully
I'll finish the book by our next recording date. I
am going to record my theory of who did it,
and I'm going to play that whether I'm right or not,
and we'll all find out whether I was a genius
or completely wrong in the way that I was looking
(29:54):
at the case. I've recorded. It's about a three minute
summation of how oh I viewed the evidence, So you
could be coming back to hear me just owe you
how wrong I was. After we find out what the
great Charlie Chan has to say, Well, now we turn
to listener comments and feedback, and we have an email
(30:16):
from Goodman who writes, Hi, Adam, it struck me out
of the day that, well, I haven't listened consistently throughout
the years. I discovered the great Detectives back around twenty
ten with an episode of Patnovac for Hire. Wow, I
figured it was high time to say thank you and
keep up the good work. I love Charlie Chen, but
(30:36):
to be perfectly frank, I found the land Landini murder
case extraordinarily difficult to follow. There are so many suspects
with complex relationships and motives. I think it's proving too
difficult for my rusting gray cells to keep them all straight.
With a week's pause, between episodes. I've decided I'll wait
until the end of this keeper and listen to the
(30:57):
episode's daily my brain, maybe I should call it season
rather than rusting it's easier on the ego should find
this an acceptable compromise. All the best to you, and
thank you for all you do in producing your various podcasts.
They're all fantastic entertaining archival resources. Well, thanks so much, Goodman.
And I will say that there are people like even
(31:19):
going back to when I was doing the old time
radio Superman show, there were people who would wait till
the last episode of the Cereal was posted and then
go back and listen to all the episodes. And this
is generally a bit harder than the Superman serials. Like
even the longer Superman serials tend to follow a very
(31:41):
linear progression, and they wouldn't stay somewhere as long as
we've stayed at pine View. I do think your point
about having a week between episodes is a fair point,
and certainly not helped by the fact that we've had
three weeks often the course of this, so we've been
(32:02):
playing this fifteen of the last eighteen weeks. I know
that over on our YouTube channel I'm going to go
ahead and probably do. I will do compilations of this story,
and you know, over during one of our breaks, we
will do like three consecutive compilations that will be this
(32:26):
case so people can maybe follow it and access it
in a quicker format. Might do something like that where
we compile the old episodes. Haven't really done that too
much over on the podcast, but this serial might be
(32:46):
something worth considering so that there's less of a lag
between episodes, because I will agree that is a bit
of a challenge. I appreciate your comments. Good minute, and
thank you so much for listening over the past fifteen years,
and so glad and blessed we've been able to be
here all this time. All right, well, now it's time
(33:08):
to thank our Patreon support of the day. I want
to thank Caroly and Patreon supporter since April twenty nineteen,
currently supporting the podcast at the Shawmas level of four
dollars or more per month. Thanks so much for your support, Caroline, And.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
The most delightfully fascinating character in the realms of mystery,
Charlie Channon. In the investigation of the murder of Ellen Lambdini,
(02:59):
A find You, Charlie Chan, the Honolulu Detective, has been
tasted the problem of too many people who, in their
own mind had sufficient reason to kill Landini. However, in
reading the Galley proofs of Landini's autobiography, Inspector Chan has
found something which to him seems to point definitely to
the murderer. The inspector is in the living room talking
(03:20):
to Old sam Holt, the sheriff's father, while in the
study Dudley Ward, owner of Find You, sits before the
fire talking to Louis Romano.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
What else, sir, did they say and what else did
they wish to know?
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Mister Romano, This peter very high to say, a mister Ward,
that you see they seem to be trying to prove
that our.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Thing is the one who q the elect our thing
would do a thing like that, mister Ward.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
I do not know. I know that I not kill her.
I do not think to mister Rider do so. I
cannot think of it.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
To you, Thank you Romano. I have my own ideas.
Atto that considerably you say that they definitely proved that
assing did appear with the blanket, and then a few
moments afterward he was seen about him.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Oh that's a can be no doubt, mister Ward. It
is a plane as the what you call the nose
of the face.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
I won't know what explanation asking could be about that.
In fact, I wonder if they ever questioned him on
that point. I shall have to ask Arsen. But then
I don't like to interfere with mister Chan's investigations, you understand,
mister Romano.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Yes, of course me too. I do not say one
word more than I have to. Every time I open
my mouth, I feel that it means making the stay
is a miserable place. Mister Ward, your home is a
delightful that I think for the continental I.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Should be there, Yes, of course, spending land in his money.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
And why not I teach of the scene. I am
half a part of the that's a glorious points. I
give her what you call the opportunity.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
Why then she died not to receive but some of
her one From that point of view, perhaps from that
you are quite prect I think you willn't college telling
her desire for her career.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Well, I did not yes.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
So much time when when she was in there. What
I saw of pensive moods that she's telling me of
her life. We well here at the point of you
mentioned me, Oh, yes, the singer was never in anything
of was the very highest of a firm.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
That was kind of her. I tell John Ryner. Sometimes
we're all inclined to judge Ellen too. Harshly. She well,
she really belonged in a different kind of world. H
(06:00):
Mister Romano was sitting before a study fire. I was
getting up to leave, mister Chand.
Speaker 6 (06:05):
Please do not relieve you are welcome, indeed to remain.
Listen to our stepson. Come over to fire, miss speaking, Yes,
to speak.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Take my chair.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
I would think of it, mister Ward.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
But believe me, I'm going with well, to be frank,
with a number of guests, we have a kind view.
I do have to assist missus o'tello arcing and see
see you with the arrangements. Yay.
Speaker 7 (06:29):
Quite a few years the Latins there were parties this
side of fine views, yes, Sam not. In fact, since
gone here was about the height of that table.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Yeah, we kid you have Graham times with it. How
are you progressing, mister Chand in the matter of the
solution of the murder? Lendidly, mister Ward.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
In fact, I have promised Sherriff that within twenty four hours,
which will have murderers of Madame Landini under a record.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Well, I'm certainly glad to hear that.
Speaker 6 (06:57):
Yes, I thought you would, mister Ward. This has been
severe plain upon you. Houseful of people when you're with
most be alone.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Oh that's nothing, mister Chance. I'm glad for your sake
and don that you are so close to a solution.
I suppose it's well impossible even for me to ask
the sorry.
Speaker 6 (07:18):
Yes, it's word matters, rookie, you understand some Chance words.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
And quite I thoroughly understand, mister Chance. You have very quiet,
mister Romana.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Me oh or me, I have been what you call
a hold of fort before you coming to study. I'm
tell him, mister Ward.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
That every time Romano says that, every time he advances
a suggestion, he seems to well upset the young thought
along with the investigation.
Speaker 6 (07:47):
But no, Romana has been most helpful. You should have
no feelings?
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Is that next thing? Well, I'll go downstairs and leave
you to your discussions. You coming, mister Romano.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Yes, mister Ward, I think I shall perhaps the play
piano for a short of time, and then when there's
nothing but a bet here in this place.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
You expire anything, send for me, Sharon god Jariff speak.
Speaker 6 (08:16):
The solution is the murder of Madam Mandini is well
in touch with our fingertip.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
What was that you said?
Speaker 6 (08:21):
I'm curious, Sheriff manned labors for days for success, and
in the end success is thrown the most unexpected sauce
into his hand. I've never seen you before. Must be
important to down and speak and listen carefully. As Sheriff
reads from last chapter of Laandini's book, Yeah, Sheriff Galli
(08:42):
one hundred and ten, first paragraph of chapter twenty eight.
Speaker 8 (08:46):
Oh yeah, where it says up to my marvelously.
Speaker 6 (08:50):
Brad, Sheriff read, please first and make certain door has closed.
No one but has sell.
Speaker 9 (08:58):
I don't care where after my marvelously successful season in Berlin,
I came for a rest to stressor on lovely legos
like say, what is this language?
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Anyway?
Speaker 6 (09:10):
Is Italian? Lago majori second highest of the Italian? Late
Ladie readon Lago majoy.
Speaker 8 (09:17):
It is here on a balcony of the Grand Hotel.
It is more Italian that I write the concluding chapters
of my book. Where could I.
Speaker 9 (09:25):
Have found a more delightfully beautiful setting? I gaze in
turn at the aqemaline waffles, the fierce blue sky, and
the snow capped eye now far away I am enraptured by.
It is Sola Bella, with its fantastic palace, its green
terraces of orange and lemon trees rising a hundred feet
above the lake. The thing that is always made life
(09:45):
with while for me is color, plenty of color, and
personality and music and seeming. I have fitted many people
in my time, but none more so than one I
knew who was color blind, and Lord Harry color blind,
that poor luckless, so to whom all this gorgeous beauty
would seem a mere monotonous prospect of dull gray lake mountains,
(10:07):
freeze sky, all the same crest.
Speaker 8 (10:13):
Color blind.
Speaker 6 (10:14):
Precisely, the person who sent for a green scarf comes
back with a pink one, A poor luckless soul who,
having murdered Landini, and desiring to give semblance of order
to desk, places on yellow box the crimson lid, and
on crimson yellow lid. So far I found person not named,
(10:36):
but from tone in writing I am justified. I think
in saying one who was very close to Landini.
Speaker 10 (10:43):
I should see so, and that leads it leads my
brother Hu and me.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Reckless.
Speaker 6 (10:49):
Provided your brother had not met Landini before she went
to Lago majorre.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Oh, I know he hadn't.
Speaker 10 (10:56):
Landini hasn't been out of the United States.
Speaker 8 (10:58):
Now the job is who among the group Ireland?
Speaker 6 (11:02):
For you are things writer, War and Roman, My dear Sheriff,
do not worry. All things are more easily found by
man who knows for what he is looking. We now
know for whom we look. It shall be unwatched every
minute when we find him. Remember, it must be in
such manners that evidence is conclusive.
Speaker 7 (11:23):
If the chan's right, you've got to get that person.
But we must prove that that person is Colibrine.
Speaker 8 (11:29):
That shouldn't lit so hard.
Speaker 7 (11:30):
Now we've been living together here in this house a
good many days with someone who is colorbrin, but neither
you nor.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Anyone else seems to have noticed it.
Speaker 6 (11:39):
If the holes is right, strapping a person in such
manner as to present truth must be done with much care.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
I go now to my room.
Speaker 6 (11:48):
I fell through the contents books, and hope that person
somewhere is named, in which case murder will be solved.
Or the presence not one word, not one's time, that
we have made this chaplain ah Romana, retiring to your own.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Room, Yes to mister I cannot played the billiards a
day after day, and the piano not telling mister Water
but the action is a too hard. It is not
the kind of piano to which I am a cluss from.
It is what you call expended. The piano was not
a boot or you understand.
Speaker 6 (12:30):
The president, But I am not judges piano.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
Me me, I am this is the one. It has
a great name. But the book I do.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Not like it.
Speaker 6 (12:44):
And that is all I mentioned to you the form
of Romano. Landini had written book.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Yes, I know, matter of factor. At times I assist her.
Occasionally you understand in the writing.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
Were you, by any chance present when last capital is written?
The same was composed. I believe it's better for.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
I wasn't obtained at the parish at the time.
Speaker 6 (13:07):
But you know stressor I understand his useful spot the.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Beautiful now the world is nothing off bela stress, that
is a heavenly it's a divine ny the heels in
love with stress. But I must not have progested it
is one of the places to reach A dear Ellen's
the money you shall take me. I believe that I
(13:32):
shall have to make the lead when good night I
shall see you in the morning.
Speaker 6 (13:39):
Beautiful pressor late te the hell, but not one word
about color.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
It is the following morning, an inspector chair is dressing
when our seeing enters the room.
Speaker 6 (13:56):
Yeah, ah, good morning, I sing, sang.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
They it' chinging well living today? Someone in this a tent,
you're like a number one. I got hot.
Speaker 6 (14:08):
Shave it, thank you, I think, but I have already shaved.
Tell me, honorable thing. Have you thought upon matters the
guy suggested to your most attentive years.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Yes, what's your meaning?
Speaker 8 (14:24):
Makes a chance?
Speaker 6 (14:25):
I mean I think that you should cease to avoid
being trapped into admission, boldly come forth as to fit
one of your.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Birth and tell the truth. What all the time a
top control you're closest yours?
Speaker 4 (14:41):
They can make go back a China.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Yes, I think you're thinking me like to go back
a China? Or you'll think I can? Of course I
think say something? Yes, I think something?
Speaker 6 (14:52):
What?
Speaker 4 (14:53):
Anything?
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Anything?
Speaker 11 (14:55):
Making you think to me? Tell you something at all?
But I think, and I'll go back China? Oh much
of what kind is the place?
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Then? I think you have decided not to tell me
that you.
Speaker 11 (15:07):
Can play more me No, no, nothing the rest because
near no can help suppose that you or lets me
make one a jail.
Speaker 6 (15:17):
All right, record it all very well I sing, oh, oh,
watch matter nothing, I think I remembered presents from my
daughter Evelyn. It's very beautiful tie blaming color. Perhaps the
brightness of this tie will helps to light in the
gloom out surrounding.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
What do you think I think that tie? Yes? Tie?
Speaker 6 (15:44):
Or like it?
Speaker 3 (15:45):
But the color? I sing? Do you not like the
vivid color? Or color? Or like it all?
Speaker 6 (15:52):
But you you do like it? Or perhaps you like
blue better?
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Or me like it all?
Speaker 11 (15:59):
The color let and a flow and a clean and
a plank and a plaq and now allways tay a
thing like all the number one I think.
Speaker 6 (16:09):
Now I shall come to you a thing. Yeah, I'm
with you the morning, Oh, good morning, mister Romano, are
going down to breakfast.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
But yes, the christ spare Mistermontans and giving me the
bluff of tight. I'm not too good for the feature
with the chen such a being that mister Waters serve
here at the find you.
Speaker 6 (16:32):
Admit the truth of your remark with the Romano. I
find that my customary glass of Oren's juice is hardly sufficious.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
But the left the indulged.
Speaker 6 (16:42):
When one has proportions and samples, his mind leads but
to the za.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Good morning, Sheriff. He rested well, I try, I didn't
inspect her.
Speaker 10 (16:53):
Very well you with your here, mister Chan Thanks mister
will coffee this morning.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Thanks, Yes, it's you.
Speaker 10 (17:02):
It is very nice. Chris Brown tous Good morning, John,
good morning, good morning last.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Good morning, miss Stacy.
Speaker 6 (17:11):
Oh ah, I hope, mister Ward, good morning.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Good morning to your wall. Oh John, will you sit
opposite mister Chance, Thanks Dudley. Well, the inspector is the
solving of the mystery progressing? Or perhaps I should wait
till after breakfast before putting such a question.
Speaker 6 (17:28):
Everything is moving along and improved manner, mister Ward. We
shall soon be leaving kind views to your relief and
our regret or we have received your hands most hospitable wealth.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
I shall be sorry to see you leave time. You
will be very quiet after you go. Coffee, Thank you, Cecil.
By the way, Jen, i'd like to get away for
a day. I should go to San Francisco, the Rider.
Speaker 6 (17:56):
I can assure you that tomorrow you may leave if.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
You's so desire, providing this mystery is cleared up.
Speaker 6 (18:02):
Tomorrow, mister Rider, we shall all know who is the
person who so brutally killed Madame Landini and doctor Swan,
So you think, can not only think, mister Rider, So I.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Know, Thanks goodness, well, it will be a welcome release
to return to normal, say somehow dis perpetual thinking wondering
as to who amongst us right.
Speaker 6 (18:27):
So, mister Ward, it is extreme nervous strain, which in
time makes enemies out of best friends. Yes, will you
join me in study when you have finished Brexit read
your pardners rising from table.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Yes, yes, of course, thank your noticeable. Is it not serious?
Speaker 6 (18:52):
When one is looking for something, it trusts itself upon
one's mind. Both of us searching for a remark which
will indicate to us that one person is color blind.
The seal passes perfectly Ino sense remarks regarding Chris Brown,
I didn't think of it. On the other hand, I
(19:14):
try to trap ur thing into remarks about tie I've
worn this morning, and our sing baffles me with admissions
remarks yeses and no's, but fails utterly to convey to
me any idea as to whether or not he is
color blind.
Speaker 8 (19:31):
You think that he might be deliberately avoiding and criminating himself.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
One would be compelled to believe so from his evasion.
Speaker 12 (19:39):
Well, all that I can say, is it took willpower
on my part to keep remarking about the brilliant red
of the tie you're wearing. I knew, of course, if
you've done it for purposes. Oh, someone didn't mention it
is more than I can understand.
Speaker 6 (19:53):
And one is deliberately searching for something. Time seems to
drag on leaden seat man waiting for a swollen stream
to subside, held ages to pass over his head. I
tried also to trap Romano last night. You didn't yes,
sheriff their closed door, please the stamp. Last night I
(20:19):
spoke to Romano about Landini's book. He said that he
had assisted in writing. I mentioned Lago Majoris. He said
that he had been there.
Speaker 10 (20:29):
He did.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Yeah, he spoke of.
Speaker 6 (20:31):
The lake Shuy, the hills, the love Tresor. But not
once did he mention color.
Speaker 8 (20:41):
Like us saying deliberately avoiding.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
Ah, that is the trouble.
Speaker 6 (20:46):
Who can tell who deliberately avoids mention of color, or
who does not even think of color. It is, as
I say, those simple to detect in persons respect color blindness. Yes,
those simple in theory, that's so difficult to intact.
Speaker 12 (21:06):
I'm beginning to realize that myself. I watched the conversation
and hope that someone will say something that will give
me a lead. But well, the writer hasn't, hasn't given
any sign Mono, hasn't.
Speaker 6 (21:19):
Ward hasn't, mister Ryland, pilots of Landini's planes would not
be color blind. He could not obtain certificate as pilots.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
If it were. So. Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 8 (21:30):
Cacil mentioned brown toast. Of course, even a color blind
person brown toast. Of course, even a color blind person
can person remark like that everybody knows toast is brown.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Yes, all that you say is true, Shriff.
Speaker 6 (21:45):
It is only question of time, however, before we shall
detect proper curtains.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
All then that remains is.
Speaker 6 (21:53):
To track them into situations, which is acceptable as evidence.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
You think we can do that today? Both setting it.
Speaker 6 (22:00):
I have several methods in mine, one form writer another
force to steal in another formas to Ward, romana, Ah,
romana will be a little difficult.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Is very accuse? Impressed?
Speaker 6 (22:17):
Is mister m.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
That miss speaking? I shall leave you alone. Word, I
have a us.
Speaker 6 (22:29):
I'm in miss speaking. I'm going downstairs for.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
A few minutes. Oh I see, yes, that is.
Speaker 10 (22:46):
John. I I've been a little too.
Speaker 8 (22:50):
What's come over you?
Speaker 10 (22:51):
No, don't stop me. I may never have a courage again.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
What are you talking about that night?
Speaker 6 (22:57):
The night landing?
Speaker 10 (22:59):
And Inspector Chan has mentioned if someone was not telling me,
we all know that it was what I didn't tell,
the whole truth. I heard the shot, we all did.
I knew it came from the balcony. I didn't sit there,
dumb me. I ran to the balcony window, opened it,
(23:21):
so I figure leave the study by the bat.
Speaker 8 (23:24):
Ah sing Yeah, awesome.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Well that seems to settle it. But then that was
only the misleading shop. What of the real shot, the
one that killed Vandini? After your sponsor's message, Inspector Chan
will be with us again. Well, mister Chan, what Chinese
(25:34):
philosophical saying have you for us this evening?
Speaker 6 (25:37):
I have been thinking much of friends? Who was the
end of case of fine views? Hot go their different ways? Yes,
mister Chan, the man that the closes their days, It's
surrounded by trophy mementos, objects that they have collected by
aid of their wealth, unless they find but shadow of
(25:59):
your man, who sits with memories of great friendships, this
companions of his declining years. Is wealthy and substance more
precious by far than fine gold.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Welcome back. It's kind of interesting how quickly we go
from it's easy to find what you're looking for when
you know what it is, to it being very hard
to find something when you're looking for it. But such
as life, we did get some suspects eliminated that were
kind of on the periphery. Leslie and Hugh can be
(27:28):
eliminated for not having known Landini at the time she
was in Italy, But if anyone suspected them at this point,
I'd love to know what you were thinking. Same thing
for Ireland. The point was made about him not being
able to fly if he was colorblind. It used to
(27:48):
be very restrictive for anyone who is colorblind to be
a pilot, certainly in the military. Really was not allowed.
It was very restricted. When it came to being a
commercial pilot. They went through different phases. But remember that
(28:09):
the whole thing with Ireland flying over was he was
coming over at night to fly Landini back, and you
would not be flying at night if you were color blind.
Your ability to clearly distinguish color was crucial to being
able to read lights and signals. At night as you
were flying. Now a lot of this has changed in
(28:30):
the last decade or so, with new technologies and new
options making it possible for people with color blindness to
be pilots. But in the nineteen thirties definitely not the case.
So Ireland's out. But of course, the whole theory of
Ireland as the murderer involved him somehow flying the plane
(28:50):
and firing a god at the same time at Lndini,
and obviously whoever had done it had to be on
the ground. Again, not really a suspect that I've given
a lot of thought to, but now officially out of
the running. Leslie revealed what she knew, and it is
a damning piece of evidence against us singing. It might
(29:12):
even implement implicate him as an accessory. But did he
commit the murder? We'll find out next week. We have
three episodes in the serial and we will actually play
them all. And I'm my own theory, but I'm not
going to offer it now. Now. I will say I've
not read the rest of the book at this point,
(29:34):
and I've not listened to the final recording, and hopefully
I'll finish the book by our next recording date. I
am going to record my theory of who did it,
and I'm going to play that whether I'm right or not,
and we'll all find out whether I was a genius
or completely wrong in the way that I was looking
(29:54):
at the case. I've recorded. It's about a three minute
summation of how oh I viewed the evidence, So you
could be coming back to hear me just owe you
how wrong I was. After we find out what the
great Charlie Chan has to say, Well, now we turn
to listener comments and feedback, and we have an email
(30:16):
from Goodman who writes, Hi, Adam, it struck me out
of the day that, well, I haven't listened consistently throughout
the years. I discovered the great Detectives back around twenty
ten with an episode of Patnovac for Hire. Wow, I
figured it was high time to say thank you and
keep up the good work. I love Charlie Chen, but
(30:36):
to be perfectly frank, I found the land Landini murder
case extraordinarily difficult to follow. There are so many suspects
with complex relationships and motives. I think it's proving too
difficult for my rusting gray cells to keep them all straight.
With a week's pause, between episodes. I've decided I'll wait
until the end of this keeper and listen to the
(30:57):
episode's daily my brain, maybe I should call it season
rather than rusting it's easier on the ego should find
this an acceptable compromise. All the best to you, and
thank you for all you do in producing your various podcasts.
They're all fantastic entertaining archival resources. Well, thanks so much, Goodman.
And I will say that there are people like even
(31:19):
going back to when I was doing the old time
radio Superman show, there were people who would wait till
the last episode of the Cereal was posted and then
go back and listen to all the episodes. And this
is generally a bit harder than the Superman serials. Like
even the longer Superman serials tend to follow a very
(31:41):
linear progression, and they wouldn't stay somewhere as long as
we've stayed at pine View. I do think your point
about having a week between episodes is a fair point,
and certainly not helped by the fact that we've had
three weeks often the course of this, so we've been
(32:02):
playing this fifteen of the last eighteen weeks. I know
that over on our YouTube channel I'm going to go
ahead and probably do. I will do compilations of this story,
and you know, over during one of our breaks, we
will do like three consecutive compilations that will be this
(32:26):
case so people can maybe follow it and access it
in a quicker format. Might do something like that where
we compile the old episodes. Haven't really done that too
much over on the podcast, but this serial might be
(32:46):
something worth considering so that there's less of a lag
between episodes, because I will agree that is a bit
of a challenge. I appreciate your comments. Good minute, and
thank you so much for listening over the past fifteen years,
and so glad and blessed we've been able to be
here all this time. All right, well, now it's time
(33:08):
to thank our Patreon support of the day. I want
to thank Caroly and Patreon supporter since April twenty nineteen,
currently supporting the podcast at the Shawmas level of four
dollars or more per month. Thanks so much for your support, Caroline, And.
