Through the Wall chapter uncovers murder plan evidence
In a tense room analysis, M. Paul and Papa Tignol confirm two drill holes in a wall used to shoot a man at close range. They deduce Martinez bored both holes aided by a conspirator, likely aided by a woman, and reveal how heel marks on a sofa indicate the killer stood on furniture to bore the holes. The left hole proves the shooter looked through it, offering critical evidence against the murderer.
