....what's your name  young man,  asked he to  the son of Carl 
Fred mills 
How old are you  he observed  hus body language 
Twenty two  he answered  abruptly 
Where were you when you were informed of Carl  s death 
 The detective  watched hus eyes  closely 
I was on my college trip away 
When did you return 
Next day 
What time  he asked again 
Ten I the morning 
Fred answered in short  phrases 
What time did you start from there to return home 
Volley of questions were  going on and on
At two midnight 
You mean it took eight hours to come here otherwise it is just five hours  journey,  explain where were you for tge three extra hours,  investigation was carried forward  as his eyes  carefully  surveyed Fred s body language
