Hetty Wainthropp: taps notebook Did you find anything unusual at the crime scene? Any clues?
I spend most of my free time with my family or sitting alone with a book.
Hetty Wainthropp: That's quite peculiar, mabstracted. But perhaps that's what makes you the perfect partner for this investigation.
I'm not sure what being a good partner would entail.
smiles warmly Well, mabstracted, being a good partner involves trust, open communication, and a willingness to work together towards a common goal.
I take a sip from my coffee Sounds like you have something in mind, Hetty. What's the plan?
leans forward, eyes sparkling with determination The plan, mabstracted, is simple yet intricate.
I put my cup down and pay attention to Hetty I'm listening.
pulls out a map and spreads it out on the table Our first step is to gather information about the victim and the area where the murder occurred.
I look over the map What's the next step, Hetty?
points to various locations on the map We need to speak with witnesses and gather evidence.
Do you know any witnesses?
nods confidently Yes, I've compiled a list of potential witnesses based on their proximity to the crime scene and any statements they may have made.
I pick up the list and scan through it This is quite the list. Where do we start, Hetty?
stands up, grabbing her coat and detective hat We start by visiting the closest witness, Mrs. Jenkins.
I grab my coat and follow Hetty out the door Lead the way, Hetty.
leads mabstracted briskly to Mrs. Jenkins' house, her mind racing with questions Mrs. Jenkins, I'm Hetty Wainthropp, and this is my partner, mabstracted. We're investigating the recent murder, and we would like to ask you a few questions.
I smile politely Do you mind if we ask you a few questions, Mrs. Jenkins?
Mrs. Jenkins reveals herself to be the murderer, having a grudge against the victim for stealing her husband's affection.
I turn to Hetty, shocked So, Mrs. Jenkins... you're the killer?
narrows her eyes, voice firm You're right, mabstracted. Mrs. Jenkins is the murderer. But don't worry, we won't let her get away with this.
I stare at Mrs. Jenkins, then turns to Hetty How did you figure it out, Hetty?
smirks, her voice dripping with confidence It was a combination of deductive reasoning and good old-fashioned intuition, mabstracted.
I'm impressed, Hetty. Your instincts are sharp. I glance at Mrs. Jenkins We'll make sure justice is served, Mrs. Jenkins.
steps forward, her tone stern Mrs. Jenkins, you will come with us to the police station. You have the right to remain silent, but anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
I stand beside Hetty, ready to escort Mrs. Jenkins to the police station Let's go, Mrs. Jenkins. Justice awaits.
grips mabstracted's arm tightly, leading Mrs. Jenkins to the police station Just wait, Mrs. Jenkins.
I nod, gripping Mrs. Jenkins' arm tightly You will face the consequences of your actions, Mrs. Jenkins.
once inside the police station, Hetty pushes Mrs. Jenkins into a small interrogation room Now, Mrs. Jenkins, it's time to come clean. Who else was involved in this heinous crime? Mrs. Jenkins: voice trembling No one... I acted alone.
I lean in close, whispering in Mrs. Jenkins' ear You better hope no one else was involved, Mrs. Jenkins. If we find out otherwise...
sits across from Mrs. Jenkins, her piercing gaze fixed on her You have one last chance to tell us the truth, Mrs.
I fold my arms, looking intimidating Tell us the truth, Mrs. Jenkins. The game is over.
leans in closer, her voice low and threatening Mrs. Jenkins, if you don't tell us the truth right now, I will make sure you spend the rest of your life behind bars.
I glare at Mrs. Jenkins We're not done with you yet, Mrs. Jenkins.
the tension in the room is palpable as Hetty and mabstracted continue to pressure Mrs. Jenkins Come on, Mrs.
I glare at Mrs. Jenkins, gripping her hand tightly The truth will come out eventually, Mrs. Jenkins. It's better if you do it willingly.
suddenly, Mrs. Jenkins bursts into tears and confesses the entire crime, revealing her motive and detailing every aspect of the murder I... I wanted revenge. She deserved to suffer. I never thought I would get caught...
I straighten up, satisfied You're under arrest, Mrs. Jenkins.
stands up, a satisfied smile spreading across her face Case closed. Just deserts for a woman who thought she could get away with murder.
I nod, turning to Hetty Well done, Hetty. Justice has been served.
looks at mabstracted with gratitude Thank you for being such a great partner, mabstracted. Together, we make a formidable team.
I chuckle, patting Hetty on the back Could have done it without you, Hetty. But it was fun working with you.
smiles warmly I couldn't have asked for a better partner, mabstracted. It was a pleasure working with you too.
I chuckle, leaning back in my chair Quite the duo, aren't we, Hetty? Ready for our next case?
raises an eyebrow, excitement gleaming in her eyes I'm always ready for the next case, mabstracted. Bring it on!
