Which grave step was Intruder about to take? Who convinced him to change his mind?
Answers
Answer:
The intruder chose Gerrard as the man whose identity he wanted to take on because he was of the same build as Gerrard. Also, as Vincent Charles Gerrard, he would be free to go places and do nothing. He could eat well and sleep without having to be ready to run away at the sight of a cop.
Answer:
The grave step the Intruder was about to take was to murder Gerrard. The Intruder was a criminal. He had committed a murder. The police was after him. He planned to kill Gerrard and take on his identity as Vincent Charles Gerrard. But he could not carry out his plan.
Gerrard was smarter than the intruder. He made the Intruder give him all the details of his plan. He also fabricated a story about him being a crook. The disguise outfit with false moustache makes intruder believe that he escapes police under disguise. The telephone call made it clear that the man posted on the road by Gerrard must have rung him up to inform him about the arrival of the police. He made the Intruder come to conclusion that they must escape and tricked him and locked him in a cupboard.
