77. The non-existent call

Detective Smith contacts the police headquarters in London to confirm whether Robert Green made any calls to Michael Wright.

Detective Smith: It seems that Robert Green hasn’t made any calls!

Natalie: Really?

Detective Smith: They have confirmed it at the police station in London. They traced his mobile phone records and it turns out that he didn’t make any calls that day.

Michael Wright: That’s precisely what I told you. I haven’t received any calls.

Detective Smith: How long have you known Robert Green?

Michael Wright: I have known him for a few years. I would go to his shop in Camden Market sometimes to see the antiques….

Detective Smith: But you are not friends?

Michael Wright: No, definitely not. He’s just a man I would occasionally buy things from. But, as I said, I haven’t spoken to him in over a year….

Detective Smith: Why?

Michael Wright: Well, to be honest, I don’t like his business very much.

Detective Smith: Why not?

Michael Wright: Because he has a lot of stolen objects!
