Замініть пряму мову непрямою, звертаючи увагу на узгодження часів Policeman: Good evening, sir. I'd like to ask you a few questions, if you don’t mind.
Suspect: By all means, officer — only too glad to help if I can. But I know nothing about it.
Policeman: About what?
Suspect: About the murder that someone committed next door two nights ago, of course.
Policeman: — Hm! Did you hear anything unusual that night?
Suspect: — Oh, no! I heard nothing at all.
Policeman: Did you see anything out of the ordinary?
Suspect: No, I saw nothing, officer.
Policeman: Did you speak to anybody that evening?
Suspect: No, nobody. I was sitting here watching television. I was minding my own business.
Policeman: So murder isn’t your business, sir? Someone fired six shots with a revolver, but you heard nothing... A man ran through that door five minutes after the
crime, but you saw nothing and spoke to no one... Yet you say that you sat in that
chair the whole evening and went nowhere... It all sounds very suspicious to
me, sir. Have you anything to add?
Suspect: — Nothing at all.
Policeman: — Then I have no more questions to ask ... but you won’t get away with it.
Suspect: What was that?
