Eddy who had specifically come for the delicate task of being a cultural liason between Steve Buku and the villagers, never got a single word in, nor did Steve Buku, at the exception of occasionally repeating in Pidgin one of the questions Antonio had, when they got too complex.
Below are some examples of the questions I heard Antonio start his report with...
Antonio: Ok, so let's begin... Who found the body?
And so Investigator Quintanilla was born. Some of his notes on the right here... --->
Antonio: What time of day was it when you found the body?
Antonio: Were the hands opened, or closed?
Antonio: Were the wounds bleeding?...
(at which point Antonio mumbled to me, as if I were his Watson-like companion, "so he was already dead when they punctured his leg and shoulder"...) |
