1.	How did the narrator manage to clear the evidence?
Answer» After catching the narrator red-handed, Pongo left him in a room and went to bring a witness. The narrator knew he was in trouble. A voice in his head told him to eat the oranges and destroy the evidence. So he took an orange, peeled it and put it in his mouth. But the pips were left. The voice in his head asked him to swallow the pips and the peel. He took a small knife from his pocket and cut the oranges into large chunks. He swallowed the pieces as fast as he could. His stomach was nearly full but there were still three oranges on the table. Pongo and the other policeman were about to arrive when they saw some carts at the dock gate and went to talk to the drivers. This gave the narrator a few more minutes. He swallowed the remaining oranges with a great deal of struggle and thus managed to clear the evidence.
