Detective Murphy's Narrative Essay

Improved Essays

He’s just finished a round of furious questioning to gather my side of the story on what’s occurred tonight.

After police arrived to the store, they were able to catch and arrest the man who robbed the store. Who I now know as James Smith. Jack was rushed to the emergency room for his gunshot wound, and now the rest of us who were in the Shop have been asked to give statements and assist in the investigation.

Detective Murphy and I are standing amongst the flurry of officers, paramedics, and detectives in the parking lot who’ve roped the store and lot off,

“Yes, of course, I’m at the University most mornings, but I’m sure I can find a free afternoon to stop by and speak with you.” I’m sure Mrs. Newton won’t mind giving me the afternoon off. I make another mental note, call the bookstore where I work to let them know I won’t be in tomorrow.

“How does Wednesday afternoon sound? I’ll be in court the entire morning, but I’ll have a few free hours around say 3 O’clock.”

“Alright then. I will be there Wednesday, 3’oclock sharp.” With my response, he pulls a small white card out of his pocket, pulling a pen out along with it. Holding it in his hand, he writes something on the back of it, then hands it over to me. His office address and phone are printed on it.

“I wrote my personal cell on the back as well. Please, if you think of anything you may have missed, or have any questions at any time, please don’t hesitate to call me Bella.” His intense look is back as he steadily holds my gaze. It’s as if he wants to add

    Detective Perez, Detective Elkin, and Detective Ma arrived at the crime scene at 1:22 A.M. after Fannin, a prominent racketeer in Ernie’s lunchroom, was shot and killed by a presently unknown assailant. The three detectives rushed in a few minutes after the gunshot was heard. We found a handprint on the wall and the floor was newly mopped and there were footprints in the shallow pools of water. We discovered that there were four people eating at the bar and we suspect that three of the four customers knew each other because customers B, C, and D’s money combined was the amount of money in the cash register, which means the three customers paid together. Ernie stated that the murderer shot Fannin at point-blank range.…

    She was one of those pretty and charming girls born, as if by an error of fate, into a family of clerks. She had no dowry, no expectations, no means of becoming known, understood, loved or wedded by a man of wealth and distinction; and so she let herself be married to a minor official at the Ministry of Education. She dressed plainly because she had never been able to afford anything better, but she was as unhappy as if she had once been wealthy. Women don't belong to a caste or class; their beauty, grace, and natural charm take the place of birth and family. Natural delicacy, instinctive elegance and a quick wit determine their place in society, and make the daughters of commoners the equals of the very finest ladies.…

These consistencies include the presence of premeditated actions from the characters, evidence of situational irony, and the indication of a foul play mystery. Conversely, a collection of concepts support the notion that the two stories were unlike each other in major ways.…
