　　A passing police car heard loud screams and responded immediately. When the police arrived at the scene, hey found Pete’s dead body in his backyard, with man knife wounds and blood everywhere. The officer immediately went to question the three neighbors that had been outside in the past thirty minutes.

Then he added,” Inside, I was repairing a chair, It all must have happened when I was indoors. Sorry.”
