"You haven't done anything, I'm just seeing if you had any hints you could offer me."

"I'm not unwilling to consider the fact that this other person could have something to do with it; I wouldn't be very good at my job if I didn't consider all the possible angles, Mr Kimblee. You just happen to be available now, so I'm seeing if there's any information you think could help. There obviously isn't, so I'll move on."

Now she was getting annoyed. Brilliant. Picking up her steak knife, she neatly sliced off a bite-sized chunk, taking a bit more pleasure in cutting the meat than she really should have.
