She tells him the ill-fated course of the evening, she died Phylis, asks to locate the actual perpetrator of the crime. Reveals that since the wedding with much younger, beautiful actress suffered from strange ailments: heart aches, dizziness, nausea, symptoms of which - paradoxically - disappeared in prison. That night it felt wrong. Waiting for his wife to prepare a common output for the party, went on the air, but it did not help. When barely returned home, he saw a strange object on the floor did not belong to him. He bent down to pick it up and lost consciousness. When he awoke, the house was full of police. He was told that he was found with his hands clenched around his neck dead wife. Mysterious object was not. Worse yet, he still can not remember what I then saw on the floor.
