Before Dwight can move you spring forward and shove the barrel of your gun up his nose. “I’ll dalk, I’ll dalk!” he cries. You remove the gun from his nostrils, but keep it trained on him as he spills the beans.
“I heard somebody whacked Timm over at the Panzar-stables but I don’t know who did it, I swear! I was carol singing over at the orphanage - I got this troupe of red pandas, you see, and we trained them to sing - or at least squeak along with the tune.”
Unimpressed by this nonsense you growl tighten your finger on the trigger, and in response Dwight lets out a yelp.
“Ok, Ok!” he says. “The pandas are a cover. As well as singing we trained them to pick pockets. But that’s it, I promise! I don’t know who killed Timm! I’ve not spoken to him since he got out, now I’m outta the badger game. Vic hates pandas. Funny fact this - his entire family were killed by pandas whilst he was in the West Indies. I asked him to come in with us, but he refused coz of that.”
Satisfied Dwight is telling the truth, you dump him safely on the floor and suggest he turn himself in by breakfast time - or you’ll be back to deal with him. White-faced, he agrees.
Looks like you’ve exhausted this particular line of questioning. Where to now?
