"This is a very typical American style of flower arrangement; my wife used to do this. If you've watched old movies, you would notice that the style and technique of this flower arrangement are quite different from modern ones. To be precise, it's a very old technique."
Dean promptly asked, "How old?"
"As old as those trichloromethanes. The style of flower arrangement was popular in the fifties and sixties and was later replaced by newer styles and aesthetic tastes. Maybe the murderer is a woman who is into retro style; after all, if she was born in the forties or fifties, she might not have the physical strength to deal with the victim's body."
A woman?
Dean didn't say much. He just nodded his head.
