A Perfect Crime (TWS)

I looked over Water Treament Supervisor Hilliard Wells' testimony form and frowned. While it seemed de didn't know anything, there were definitely some openings for further questioning.

"So if you weren't in your apartment, where were you?" I asked.

"I was at work, like a good citizen," de said. "In fact, I gotta be headin' in there soon, so unless you got some reason to keep me here, I'll be goin' now."

"Hold on. The victim was conducting entirely unauthorized journalism. Why didn't you report any of his suspicious activities?"

"I didn't know the guy," Wells grunted back. "And I don't get paid to go snoopin' around in some guy's apartment to see if he's doin' anything illegal. There's other departments for that. I get paid to make sure the water is up to Council standards."

"You know that it's every citizen's duty to report disloyal behavior."

"Well, I didn't see any. Can I get to work now? Don't want any rebel groups puttin' stuff in the water."

I didn't want to let der go just yet, but if I couldn't think of a good enough question, I'd probably be better off moving to another witness and just noting Wells as suspiciously uncooperative.

So how was this going to go? Did I have anything else to ask, or was it time to move on to another witness?
