旁白 neutral

Patty was too busy with those kids to look outside and notice anything

We were in the back of the shop, so we wouldn't have seen Mr. Tate."

旁白 neutral

" And Mr. Moss was getting paint, so he wouldn't have seen Mr. Tate either."

旁白 neutral

It sounded as if some people in the neighborhood had a motive for harming Mr. Tate's business
