Brunetti arrived before the children did, so he opted to keep Paola company while she finished preparing the meal. As she set the table, he lifted pot lids and opened the oven, comforted to find nothing but familiar dishes: lentil soup, chicken smothered in red cabbage, and what looked like radicchio di Treviso.
"Are you bringing all of your detective skills to bear in examining that chicken?" Paola asked as she set glasses on the table.
"No, not really," he said, closing the oven and standing upright. "My investigation has to do with the radicchio, Signora, and whether there are perhaps traces in it of the same pancetta I detected in the lentil soup."
"A nose as good as that," she said, coming over and placing the tip of her finger on it, "could effectively put an end to crime in this city." "I went to see Signora Moro," he began, pausing to see if Paola would react. She did not, so he went on, "I wanted to talk to her about the hunting accident."
"And?" Paola prodded.
"Someone shot at her from the woods near her friends' house, but then some other hunters came along and took her to the hospital."
"Are you sure they were other hunters?" Paola asked, giving evidence that her native skepticism had been enhanced by more than two decades of marriage to a policeman.
"It would seem so," he said, leaving it at that.
Knowing how reluctant he would be to mention him, Paola asked, "And the boy?"
"She said that he didn't kill himself, and that's all she said."
"She's his mother," Paola said. "Believe her."
