A: Hello. I’m detective Robinson of the San Francisco Police Department.

B: Nice to meet you. I didn’t do anything wrong, I guess.

A: Unfortunately, someone was murdered in this neighborhood.

B: I’m sorry to hear that. How can I help you?

A: You might be able to help the investigation.

B: I’ll be happy to answer any questions you have.

A: Did you hear a gunshot around 8:00 this evening?

B: I heard a loud noise. But it sounded like a firecracker.

A: What were you doing when you heard that shot?

B: I was washing dishes, and my wife was writing a letter.

A: Were you walking on the street at any time this evening?

B: No, I don’t think so. Wait. I might have gone to the corner to buy a paper.

A: You might have gone to the corner to buy a paper? (147 w)
