If that is what you say, Mr. Reaper. I haven't said anything to the kind. I have only said I know a great many things, and have been involved in a great many things. That is all.
Yes, indeed, in a court of law, your statement would never hold up as an admission of guilt. However, anyone with sense would arrive at the conclusion that your inability to utter "no, I was not involved," strongly suggests that you were. I'm well aware of your habit of talking around truths that are inconvenient to you.

It isn't as if I haven't lived through it already, dubious behavior and all. But Mr. Asogi is the last thing on the list of things to be concerned about here, yes?
... I have already agreed to your terms. [Yes there are bigger things to worry about but they don't have the truth to explain those away at the moment!!!! So he will just judge in silence.]

A great detective is involved in many things, my dear fellow. I have put many a hand into many a pie.

So your concern is that if you inform miss Mikotoba she will become aware that you have lied to her.

Anyways, think what you will. But this is something I will have to sort out on my own for now.

... Fine. But should I misspeak and mention him in passing to her, I take no responsibility for your dubious behavior.
