You
You killed Elisa McGowan, didn't you???
Hello, there, Sir. Do you mind if we ask you a few questions about the death of Elisa McGowan?
Unknown
What?? No. I'm not the murderer. I didn't kill her. Stay away from me!
You
Crap. We should ask a better question. He's offended.
Unknown
Umm sure, but I may not be very helpful in this case though.
You
Thank you. First of all, what's your name and why were you at the party?
Simon Donelly
My name is Simon Donelly. I am an alumnus of this school so it's obvious I came here for the reunion party.
Simon Donelly
Next question. What is your relationship with Ms. McGowan?
Simon Donelly
Well, she used to be my teacher. She was a very tough teacher. She made me do extra writing assignments and she said I had talent but frankly speaking, I hated all the extra work. But now I'm kinda grateful that I'm a writer. I have just written a new book and I dedicated it to Miss. McGowan.
You
Next question. When did you last see Ms. McGowan?
Simon Donelly
The last time I saw her was about 7 p,m. I guess? I gave her a copy of my new book and she was pleased. I just can't believe that she died not long after that.
You
What did you do when you heard the scream?
What were you doing when you heard the scream?
Simon Donelly
Umm, I had my time at the party? Is that what you mean?
Hmm. That doesn't sound right. You should ask a better question.
Simon Donelly
Well, I was talking to Louise King. He was my classmate. I was telling him about my new book that I dedicated to Ms. McGowan.
You
Well, that's all what we want to ask. Thank you for your cooperation. Hopefully we will soon find the culprit of this murder.
Simon Donelly
My pleasure. I'm glad I could help with your investigation.
You
Where were you when Eliza McGowan was murdered?
Good evening. Do you have time to answer a few questions about the death of Eliza McGowan?
Unknown
Seriously? You think I'm the murderer? Fine, go and arrest me, freak.
I don't think that was the best approach. Let's try again.
Unknown
Yeah, sure. I've got a plenty of time. What do you want to ask?
You
First of all, what is your name and why were you at the party?
Louise King
The name's Louise King. I am an alumnus and obviously I was here for the reunion.
You
What is your relationship with Ms. McGowan? Do you have any memories about her?
Louise King
She was my English teacher. I don't have any good memories with her. I thought she was just an old hag and I hated her class because she gave too much homework. She made me hate school so I stopped going. I didn't do my exams and now I'm working in a chicken factory. It's all her fault. I'm kinda glad she's dead.
You
I'm sorry to hear that. Did you see her lately? When was it?
Louise King
It's fine. I'm over it now. Let's see. I went outside for a cigarette at about 8 p.m. I saw her with Mr. Green, it looked like they were arguing and it seemed serious. Anyway, they were talking about someone called Paul or Raul or something……. I couldn't hear very well.
You
What did you do when you heard the scream?
What were you doing when you heard the scream?
That's a great clue for this murder! Anyway...
Louise King
Umm, didn't I tell you I attended the party? Can you be more specific?
You
My bad. What I mean is what were you doing when you heard the scream?
Louise King
The scream? Frankly speaking, I was glad with that distraction because I could escape from that boring nerd Simon. He just can't stop talking about his book.
You
Thank you very much for the time. I'm sure we are getting closer to the truth of this case.
Louise King
Yeah sure whatever. It's not like I give a care about her.
Excuse me, ma'am. Do you mind answering questions about Eliza McGowan's death? It might help solve the case.
You
Hello. Do you know anything about Eliza McGowan's death?
Unknown
Hmph. What a rude way to ask someone you just met!
Crap. I should ask more politely. She seems like a sensitive person.
Unknown
Well it's so sudden and I'm still shocked but for the sake of Ms. McGowan, I will help you with your investigation.
You
Thank you very much. First of all, could you tell us your name and reasons why were you at the party.
Patricia Woods
Well, my name is Patricia Woods. I am one of the teaching staffs here, so you can tell that I am here to attend the reunion party,
Patricia Woods
I see. Ms. Woods, what is your relationship with Ms. McGowan?
Patricia Woods
I don't know Ms. McGowan very well. She was a good teacher in my opinion, but she didn't have very many friends.
You
Alright, then. Next question, did you meet her tonight? When was the last time you saw her?
You
Yeah I did meet her and we even greeted each other. I saw her walking to her classroom. It was probably around 8.15 p.m. She looked upset. I think she was crying. She was wiping her eyes with a handkerchief.
You
Interesting... Did you hear a scream? What were you doing at that time?
Patricia Woods
Yes, I heard the scream along with anyone else in the Sport Hall. I was serving drinks with some of the other teachers there. You can ask them if you think I am lying.
You
Well, that's all I want to ask about this case. Thank you for helping us with the investigation, Ms. Woods.
You
Don't mention it. I hope we can find the culprit sooner or later.
Excuse, me. Sir. Do you have a time to answer questions regarding the death of Elisa McGowan?
You
Can you tell us anything about the death of Elisa McGowan?
Unknown
Whoa. Slow down. I didn't kill her, okay? Stay away from me.
You
Hmmm. I should have asked more polite questions.
Unknown
Sure thing. I'd love to help for the sake of Ms. McGowan.
You
Thank you, sir. First of all, what's your name and why were you at the party?
Ivan Williams
Well, my name is Ivan, Ivan Williams. I am the school librarian. I am here for the reunion party.
You
I see. Mr. Williams, the next question. Are you close with Elisa McGowan?
Ivan Williams
We do know each other but I can't really say we are close. I think she is a classy lady. I am kinda suprised she isn't married. Frankly speaking, I wanted to invite her to dinner but I am afraid she will reject it. Now that she's gone, I really regret my action for not inviting her sooner.
You
I'm sorry to hear that, Mr. Williams. Now then, when was the last time you met Ms. McGowan?
Ivan Williams
It's fine. A few hours ago, I saw Ms. McGowan was arguing with Mr. Sheen. He's one of the teaching staffs here. I never like him because he's always upsetting the poor Ms. McGowan. So, I went to see if she was okay. I lent her my handkerchief to wipe her tears. I always carry one with me because I have an allergy.
What were you doing when you heard the scream?
You
What did you do when you heard the scream?
That's perhaps an important clue to this case. Thank you, Mr. Williams. Now, the last question...
Ivan Williams
Umm. I had my time at the party? What do you mean?
You
Hmmm. That doesn't feel right. Let's use another sentence.
Ivan Williams
Well, I heard a scream while I was checking the library to make sure the doors were locked.
You
That's all what I wanted to ask. Thank you very much for the cooperation, Mr. Williams!
Ivan Williams
Don't mention it. I hope we can find out the loser who committed the crime soon.
Excuse me, sir. Would you mind answering some questions regarding the death of Elisa McGowan?
You
Do you have any clue of whoever killed Elisa McGowan?
Unknown
That's now how you greet someone whom you've just met.
You
Crap. Let's try again with more polite words.
Unknown
Umm. Sure thing. What would you like to ask?
You
Thank you, sir. First of all, what is your name and why were you at the party?
Edward Green
My name is Edward Green. I'm the headmaster of this school. I was the one who organized the reunion party.
You
I see. Are you by any chance close to Ms. McGowan?
Edward Green
Of course. She's one of the teachers here. In fact, we went to the same university, so we've known each other for a long time. She is such a wonderful woman. I will miss her very much.
You
Noted. Thank you. When was the last time you saw Ms. McGowan?
Edward Green
Actually, I was very busy this evening. I didn't see her.
You
Noted. Did you hear a scream? What were you doing when you heard the scream?
Edward Green
Well, yes I did hear a scream. I was working on my computer in my office.
Edward Green
That's everything I wanted to ask. Thank you very much, Mr. Green.
Edward Green
Don't mention it. I do hope we find the culprit soon.
You
Excuse me, do you have time to answer several questions about the death of Elisa McGowan?
Unknown
Umm. Sure, I guess. It's so sudden but for the sake of Ms.Mcgowan, I'll help you guys.
You
Thank you very much. First of all, what's your name and why ere you at the party?
Lily Simmons
Well, my name's Lily Simmons. I am one of the alumni of this school so I'm here for the reunion party.
You
Alright, Ms. Simons. What's your relationship with Elisa McGowan? What do you think of her?
Lily Simmons
She used to be my English Teacher. She was a very scary teacher, most of the students worked hard because they were afraid of her. I actually did very well in English and, because of Miss McGowan, I am training to be a teacher.
You
Noted. When was the last time you saw Ms. McGowan?
Lily Simmons
I spoke to her briefly at about 7:45, I was telling her about my studies, she didn't seem interested, she kept looking around, then she saw Mr. Green and said she had to go. I thought she was a bit rude.
You
Interesting... What were you doing when you heard the scream?
Lily Simmons
I was dancing in the Sport Hall with my friends. We were shocked by the scream.
You
Well, that's all I wanted to hear. Thank you once again, Ms. Simmons.
Lily Simmons
My pleasure. I hope I can help with the investigation.
The last witness is your teacher! GO and ask them some questions!
