Watches - Agatha Christie

Suddenly, the door of house No. 19 opened, and a girl came out running as if a bomb had exploded!

She hit me with such force that she almost threw me onto the pavement, and she clung to me miserably and terrified, so I said to her, as I regained my balance and gently shook her: Hold yourself back, hold yourself back.

The girl stopped screaming, and began to inhale deeply accompanied by sobs. Then she said: There...inside...there is a man on the ground...dead...and she almost stepped on him!
