For eight days the man watched the old man sleep until he finally decided the old man was to die. The man plans everything carefully and precisely, there is no trace of a murder anywhere - as he ishas placed the body under the floorboards. so when the police arrive after reports of hearing a yell. The man knows there is no way anyone will find out so he invites the police in to look around - even setting chairs up in the old man's room to chat with them. All of a sudden the man starts hearing a dull thumping noises coming from under the floor. It drives him mad that finally he admits the he murdered the old man.

Tell Tale Heart
By Edgar Allan Poe
was an old man with a blue-eye", .The murder is carefully calculated, and the murderer hides the body by dismembering it and hiding it under the floorboards.
