VANE:
Are we getting on with today’s business or what?
WESTCOTT:
Shut up, Con. Jay’s telling us how the investigation’s going.
HAWTHORNE:
Like I say, there’s a group. Four people. Two men, two women. All in their twenties.
WALLACE:
What’s the motive?
VANE:
Wouldn’t have thought you’d need a motive to kill Dave. Just talk to him for five minutes. Wait for him to start banging on about Japanese food or the Napoleonic Wars.
HAWTHORNE:
We’re still working on motive. But we have a lot of evidence piling up. They were definitely there on the night. Prints, belongings, DNA … One of them even left his camera, the silly twat. Who has a camera these days?
Not me any more. I wonder briefly how the police’s journey through my memory card went, then remember the messages from Jasmine at my agency, and feel sick.
WESTCOTT:
Why, though? Why kill him?
