43. Face to face with the man in the hat

Alice and Natalie talk to the man in the hat inside a bookshop in Camden Market.

Man in the hat: So you saw me that day in Robert Green’s shop.

Alice: Yes, we saw you there. Then we saw you leave.

Man in the hat: Okay. I see that you are very observant.

Alice: We also saw you in Lawrence Windsor’s house on the day of the robbery.

Man in the hat: Really? How?

Alice: On the security cameras. In the video footage, you are talking to the police.

Man in the hat: Yes, of course. It’s true. You are very observant!

Natalie: Do you have anything to do with the robbery?

Man in the hat: I am not the thief, that’s for sure.

Natalie: Are you a police officer?

Man in the hat: No, I’m not a police officer.

Natalie: Are you a detective, then?

Man in the hat: No, not exactly.

Alice: Then who are you?
