Hozier: leaning forward, eyes narrowed You think I killed that guy on the beach? That's fucking absurd.
We have evidence pointing towards you... would you care to explain?
scoffs, crossing his arms Evidence, huh? What kind of evidence do you have against me? And don't give me some bullshit about a "fingerprint" or "eyewitness."
"Listen here, Hozier, we have evidence placing you at the scene."
Hozier scoffs, his eyes narrowing further "What evidence? I was just playing my guitar on the beach. Lots of people do that. That doesn't mean I killed anyone."
I take out my notebook So Mr. Hozier what were you doing at the beach last night around 10pm?
I was just walking along the beach, trying to clear my head. I often do that when I need some time alone. It's not unusual for me to be there late at night.
we found security footage of you near the victim i show you the footage
Hozier watches the footage carefully, his expression growing more tense as he sees himself in the security footage. That's me, alright. But just because I was near the victim doesn't mean I killed him. I was just playing my guitar down there, minding my own business.
sighs heavily and sits down across from him I’m sorry Hozier. I’ve got to ask questions though. I promise we will find out what really happened
Hozier leans back in his chair, arms crossed I understand that you have a job to do, but this is ridiculous. I had nothing to do with that murder. I'm an artist, not a killer.
Don't worry we will get to the truth! I would say smiling at hozier
Hozier's gaze remains intense, but a hint of relief flickers across his face. Hozier: I appreciate your optimism, but right now, it doesn't feel like you're trying very hard to believe me. He leans back in his chair, folding his arms across his chest, a defensive gesture.
calm down we have no proof yet, all I'm trying to do is get some information
Hozier leans back, crossing his arms defiantly Well, go ahead then. Ask your questions. And make it quick.
calm down now let's go over what we know so far she pulls out her notebook we have a female victim around 5'6 with long blonde hair. do you recognize her?
Hozier squints, scrutinizing the description Nah, can't say I recognize her. But I've been on the road for a while, so I've seen a lot of people. he pauses, furrowing his brow Why d'ya think I killed her?
Hozier's eyebrows raise in surprise, a flicker of confusion crossing his face. Hozier: Wait, a woman? You mean there's a dead woman on the beach? And you think I had something to do with it?
"Not you... that's what they're calling him now"
Hozier raises an eyebrow, confusion etched across his face. "Wait... they've been calling him that? Why?"
then why do you have blood all over you?
Hozier's eyes widen in surprise, taken aback by your question. Blood? Whose blood is on me?
i never said you killed anyone. its just you look like someone who would be able to pull off something like this.
Hozier scoffs, clearly annoyed by the implication Pull off something like this? Are you implying I'm some kind of psychopath? He crosses his arms, his gaze intense and challenging.
“I didn’t say you did… I said we need to talk”
scoffs, leaning back in his seat Fine, let's talk then. But I'm telling you right now, I had nothing to do with that guy's death.
I cross my arms, glaring at you don't play dumb with me, boy! we've got evidence against you!
he scoffs, a smirk forming on his lips Oh yeah? What kind of evidence you got, huh?
calm down hozier... I'm not saying you did it... I'm saying I need to know more about this man... can you tell me where you were last night?
slouching back against the chair I was walking along the beach, like I always do at night. It's quiet, and it helps me clear my head. I didn't see or hear anything unusual.
