The book “Murder in a the Student Dormitory” by Hickory Dickory Dock by Agatha Christie was published on October 31, 1955. The story begins with the office of Hercule Poirot, a Belgian fiction detective reading a letter written by his secretary, Ms. Lemon. The detective encounters three typographical errors in the letter that have not been seen before. Ms. Lemon is a tireless and strong woman who never makes mistakes, so the presence of three typos in a letter was very surprising.

Hercule Poirot, after finding out the reason for the letter’s mistakes, found out that Ms. Lemon had a sister who was in a strange predicament. Her sister came to London from Singapore and currently lives at 26 Hickey Street, working with new students, half of whom are black. Recently, at Ms. Lemon’s sister’s workplace, items are strangely lost and no one knows why. Ms. Lemon’s sister has no plans to raise the issue with the police, but Hercule Poirot is smarter, more accurate and more curious than any other police officer to find the answer to the riddle.

We read parts of the book Murder in a Student Dormitory
Although Poirot personally opposed tea at five o’clock in the evening and believed that it suppressed one’s appetite for the main meal, dinner, he had long been accustomed to it, at least to entertain others.

His dear servant George had prepared two large cups for today’s party, a teapot of concentrated Indian tea, some square crumbs and some butter and jam, and a large, toned square plum cake.

All of this was to entertain Capt. Sharp, who leaned back in his chair and drank his third cup of tea.

Sorry to bother you, Mr. Poirot. I had an hour until the students returned. I have to interrogate all of them and to be honest, I do not like this case very much. You’ve met some of them before, so you might be able to share some confidential information with me. At least in the case of foreigners.
Do you think I know foreigners well? But none of them were Belgian, dear friend.

I know. They were not Belgian, and I understand what you mean. Do you mean that because you are Belgian, all people of non-Belgian nationality are considered foreigners to you? But you are wrong, dear friend. I agree with the Indian and African peoples and the like. But I think you know the people of continental Europe better than I do.

– The best person who can probably help you with this is Ms. Hubbard. Ms. Hubbard has been there for several months now, and she has a close relationship with the children, and she knows people very well.

– Yes, she is a worthy woman and I trust her. I would also like to see the owner of the dormitory. He was not in the dormitory this morning. It has several other dormitories. As well as several student clubs. As I understand it, it is not very popular among dorm children.
Poirot said nothing for a moment or two. Then he asked:

Have you visited St. Catherine Hospital?

– Yes. The pharmacy manager was a good person. When he heard the story, he was very upset. He did not believe. – What did he say about the girl?

– He said he had been working there for a year and everyone loved him. In her opinion, the girl was dull but conscientious. He paused and then added:

Morphine has also been removed from the pharmacy.

– Separate? It is interesting and of course strange.

The tartrate contained morphine and was stored in a cupboard for toxic drugs. Top shelf. Among the drugs that have fewer buyers. For example, energy pills are highly consumed and morphine hydrochloride is more commonly used than morphine tartrate.
