M is ready to drop the case, when he stops in at the hardware store, and learns that Serre had bought another pane, two days later, the day after the break in. From there on it becomes a battle between the two heavyweights, Serre being actually taller, broader and heavier than M. In the end, after having the house searched and Serre interrogated for hours, M realizes that it was the mother, who had no doubt poisoned her husband and Serre's former wife, using atropine, fatal to those with weak hearts, and that Maria had apparently realized she'd been given the drug, and was shot when she started to call the police, apparently by the mother, who is sent to prison, along with Serre, who serves two years in Fresnes as an accessory, having disposed of the body.
