“That,” said Poirot, “is what we are about to find out.”

FURTHER SURPRISING REVELATIONS 
“Nothing would surprise me now,” said M. Bouc. 
“Nothing! Even if everybody in the train proved to have been in the Armstrong household, I 
should not express surprise.” 
“That is a very profound remark,” said Poirot. “Would you like to see what your favorite 
suspect, the Italian, has to say for himself?” 
“You are going to make another of these famous guesses of yours?” 
“Precisely.” 
“It is really a 
most
extraordinary case,” said Constantine. 
“No, it is most natural.” 
M. Bouc flung up his arms in comic despair. “If this is what you call natural
mon ami
—” 
Words failed him. 
Poirot had by this time requested the dining-car attendant to fetch Antonio Foscarelli. 
The big Italian had a wary look in his eye as he came in. He shot nervous glances from side to 
side like a trapped animal. 
“What do you want!” he said. “I have nothing more to tell you—nothing, do you hear? 
Per 
Dio
—” He struck his hand on the table. 
“Yes, you have something more to tell us,” said Poirot firmly. “The truth!” 
“The truth?” He shot an uneasy glance at Poirot. All the assurance and geniality had gone out 
of his manner. 

Mais oui
. It may be that I know it already. But it will be a point in your favour if it comes 
from you spontaneously.” 
“You talk like the American police. ‘Come clean’—that is what they say—‘come clean.’ ” 
“Ah! so you have had experience of the New York police?” 
“No, no, never. They could not prove a thing against me—but it was not for want of trying.” 
Poirot said quietly: “That was in the Armstrong case, was it not? You were the chauffeur?” 
His eyes met those of the Italian. The bluster went out of the big man. He was like a pricked 
balloon. 
“Since you know—why ask me?” 
“Why did you lie this morning?” 
“Business reasons. Besides, I do not trust the Jugo-Slav police. They hate the Italians. They 
would not have given me justice.” 
“Perhaps it is exactly justice that they 
would
have given you!” 
“No, no, I had nothing to do with this business last night. I never left my carriage. The long-
faced Englishman, he can tell you so. It was not I who killed this pig—this Ratchett. You cannot 
prove anything against me.” 
Poirot was writing something on a sheet of paper. He looked up and said quietly: “Very good. 
You can go.” 
Foscarelli lingered uneasily. “You realise that it was not I? That I could have had nothing to 
do with it!” 
“I said that you could go.”
