"Who's the victim?"
"Me"
"But you're supposed to be dead!"
"That's right: I am dead."
"So why are you talking?"
"Well, are we not doing the crime reconstruction?"
"Yes, I am doing the crime reconstruction, you..."
"I know, I am dead, but it's not like I had anything better to do, I was just saying.."
"You, Sir, go back to your place and stop hindering me in my investigation. Who's the victim? Hey, you there: do you know who the victim is?"
"I don't know, Sir, how could I know!?"
"You don't know either?"
"Me?!"
"Fine. No one wants to talk, then I don't need your services anymore. You could have appeared in my notebook, but none of you deserve it. Where's the dead? Let the dead come. I am sorry Sir, you were right. Only you could be useful for me. So, tell , how exactly did it happen ?"
