The Brother-in-Law
Level 2 · Medium
A detective was talking with Sam. He said, "I'm sorry to tell you this, but your brother-in-law is dead." "I'm not surprised. Harry had more than one enemy. He had Dick, whom he owes gambling debts, and then there's Jack, whom he cheated out of a will," Sam said. As Sam continued to list the enemies of Harry, the detective made a call and arrested Sam on suspicion of murder. What was the call about? Why was the detective suspicious?
