David:   Uh,   I   was   preparing   for   the   ensuing   day’s   surgeries   when   Mukul   entered   and  we
               started   chatting   right   away.

               Captain:   Don’t   you   have   an   assistant?

               David:   That’s   my   style   of   working,   I   only   need   assistants   when   it’s   a   complicated   surgery

               Captain:   According   to   the   forensics   report,   you   and   Mukul   fought………...

               David:   TALKED

               Captain:   (glared)   oops…..yeah….TALKED,   the   area   was   cleansed   immediately   after  that,
               why?

               David:  We  were  talking  in  the  Operation  Theatre,  it  is  routinely  sterilised  every  night  and  so
               that   day   was   no   exception.   Medical   Laws   (shrugs)

               Interrogator:   Excuse   me,   my   turn   to   ask.   “Did   you   kill   him?”

               David:   No.

               Interrogator:   Ah!   If   you   had   answered   in   affirmative,   I   would   have   had   you!

               Captain:   (ignoring)   so   once   you   and   Mukul   fought

               David:   TALKED


               Captain:   (smiling)   absolutely   ….TALKED,   why   did   you   didn’t   take   your   car?

               David:   I   visited   a   bar,   The   Social

               Captain:   Nobody   saw   you   there.   Not   even   in   CCTV.

               David:   The   Social  was  terribly  jam-packed  on  Sunday.   I  spent  my  whole  time  in  a  corner
               enjoying   (winks)   with   Cheryl,   she   was   a   real   beauty-created   in   Heaven.   (smiles   at   the
               Interrogator   again   looks   at   his   watch   and   smiles-   Interrogator   reciprocates   his   smile)

               Captain:  You  said  you  took  a  cab  from  the  club.  First,  how  did  you  book  one?  In  step  with  the
               report,   you   left   your   phone   at   your   workplace.

               David:  I  didn’t  notice  my  phone  missing,  till  I  was  outside  the  Social.  Thus  I  used  Cheryl’s
               phone   to   book   a   cab   for   myself.

               Captain:   Do   you   have   Cheryl’s   phone   no.   So   we   could   talk   to   her?

               David:   No,   Sir

               Captain:   Currently,   you   have   got   no   alibi.   We   need   someone   to  establish  you  are  not  the
               murderer.   Can   you   recall   the   cab’s   number   or   anything?

               David:   No,   I   was   super   drunk   on   LIT   (smiling)

               Interrogator:   LIT   (Surprised).
