“Oh really?”

The detective inspector and his sidekick used tried and tested police techniques to unnerve Paolo, firstly asking him if, like his boss, he wanted a legal representative present.

“Why on earth would I need one?” asked Paolo quizzically. No reply, but a shrug of the shoulders from the DI.

Then they used smirking looks regularly exchanged between the two of them and the occasional “Oh really?”, suggesting disbelief. But Paolo wasn’t fazed at all... he was telling the truth after all - he’d almost convinced himself!

“Some of your statement doesn’t match Mr Monelli’s account Mr Fano!”

“Oh really?” parried Paolo.
