identified the voice can i leave now [Applause] that's right sir i'm afraid this man is dead god no but who why that's what i wanted to ask you mr greenleaf the medical examiner sets the time of death around 10 30. would you mind telling me where you were at that time riley you don't have to answer that question david i don't mind answering the question the fact is lieutenant i don't i don't know where i was yes it's true i saw alan last night briefly at a press party we had some words not important but i was very upset by it i drove around i had been drinking quite a bit i don't remember anything about last night poor island i wonder if you can identify this key no would you mind taking a closer look at it all keys look alike to me yes sir but i believe this is your key the building superintendent told me that mr mallory's office was leased 18 months ago by you this is one of the two keys that he gave you if you say so get to the point lieutenant we found this key on the office floor a few feet from mr mallory's body but evidently it belongs to him no sir we checked the victim's key ring and the one that fit the outer door was on his person this key your key this is the fella that bothers me i've already told you that i don't know anything about it or it bothers you about it lieutenant how it got there could have been dropped days before do you own a 38 smith and wesson revolver now just a minute david i have nothing to hide yes i do own a pistol i don't know what make it is i'll tell her why are you asking me all these questions well surely you don't believe i had anything to do with alan's death well obviously some thief broke into the office when olive was working there was nothing to steal mr mallory's wallet wasn't disturbed and you just said that you were drinking last night and you can't explain your whereabouts at the time of the death riley i'm sorry i must insist you answer no more questions at least until we've had a chance to confer officer that is unless lieutenant columbo is placing you under arrest a rational no no mr greenleaf you're free to go i thought he might be but i may be asking some questions later on of course i'll be at home all day take out pour out david i just can't burn i just can't believe it just one more thing [Music] you
