Episode 3 - Steve

A friend recounts a humorous interrogation scene. The interrogator questions someone about being late at night, hinting at suspicious activities involving tools like shovels or wrenches. The accused admits to staying late for a vague "special project" but claims innocence, noting nobody was there when they arrived. To deflect suspicion, the accused mentions enjoying charcuterie boards with spicy mustard, leading to banter about their culinary preferences and the interrogator’s questionable detective skills. The exchange ends with the accused challenging the interrogator’s credentials, questioning if they have any formal training or certification in private investigation. Yes, you wanted to see me? What can I do for you? Well, yes, I suppose you could do that. Though it occurs to me that if someone was here late one night doing something suspicious, maybe they wouldn't be forthcoming in revealing it to you. Oh wow, I had no idea you were so accomplished. Oh well, that's nothing that's easily explained. Sometimes when I get a minute, I like to relax a little bit with a charcuterie board. You know, cheeses and cured meats. And I like it with spicy mustards, that's all. I didn't know we had a nightmare butler that was giving me the nickname about it. I mean, I just like mustard, okay? Yes, I was here late last night, all right? But I didn't do anything suspicious, and certainly not with a shovel or a wrench. Of course, I had received a note asking me to come and help with some kind of special project. When I arrived, nobody was here. I waited a few minutes, then went back home without incident. That's all that happened. I'm innocent, you see. Fine. But may I just say that I'm starting to question your supposed interrogation skills. You say you're an expert? What private detective school did you go to? Did you get a diploma, or license, or certification of any type?
