"What era do you think this is? The Herd Family has a lot of Fame here in Loch City; if we want to look into you, you think that's hard? I advise you not to try to change the subject, it's useless. You refusing to cooperate like this does you no good at all."
Ghiovani Herd froze. So… it wasn't the Johnny Family?
The police said blandly, "If you won't talk, that's fine too. The night is still long, and Tomorrow we've got a whole day. We can take our time."
As soon as Ghiovani Herd heard that, he almost lost it. "I'm going to sue you. You're extorting a confession by torture."
The police said very clearly, "Mr. Herd, please watch your language, phone number? Extorting a confession by torture? The injuries on you were not caused by us. Our Police Station is a very law‑abiding Place. We haven't laid a Finger on you. I hope you don't slander us, or we can sue you too."
"You… you won't let me eat, you won't let me rest, if that's not torture, what is it?"
