The killer reveals his crime because he hears a beating heart from under the floorboards; it's his own guilt that exposes itself. The narrator has been so nervous that he jumps at the slightest sound. He can hear all things on heaven and earth, he says, and some things in hell. But he maintains that he is not mad. To prove his sanity, he says, he will calmly tell the reader his story.
