    That’s now how it happens in a small town. Two long-time friends who have the habit of putting chairs in front of their house and pass the night chatting and observing the vicinity would have seen the guy who everyone already suspects to be a criminal walking in a strange way and would call the local gossiper, who tells them who the probable victim is, because there was a heavy discussion the last day between them, and then they alert the local police chief, who is their relative.
