Chief Inspector Tom Baranby looked at the woman in front of him with sympathetic eyes.
“Please,” he said: “Give us your version of the story.”
The woman smiled, and started to explain with agitated words how she didn’t know the victim at all, how she was just an innocent bystander involved against her will in a crime.
“Yes, it all makes perfect sense,” agreed Barnaby.
The woman sighed in relief.
“There is only one little problem,” he added.
The woman looked at him a bit confused: “What is it?”
“I don’t believe a single word of what you just said.”
