Summary of Evidence
Poirot reviews the evidence with M. Bouc and Dr. Constantine. He notes the conflicting clues: the handkerchief, pipe-cleaner, scarlet kimono, and the mysterious Wagon Lit attendant. He points out that the watch stopped at 1:15 may be faked. The doctor reiterates the impossibility of a single attacker given the wounds' variety. Poirot begins to suspect a conspiracy.
