"Bullets Can't Be Fired Around Corners"

"The Gargoyle Speaks."
By Alfred I. Tooke (?-?).
First appearance: Nickel Detective, March 1933.
Short short short story (2 pages).

When Pulpgen calls this one "far-fetched," we heartily agree:

. . . As he gazed at the gargoyles, musing upon the mystery, he became aware that his eyes had focused themselves on a particularly hideous one. Perhaps the horribly sardonic expression had first attracted his subconscious attention, but as his conscious mind became riveted upon it, a startled exclamation left his lips. Then he smiled slowly back at the gargoyle, and nodded.  . . .
