Scene: a dead body is sprawled facedown on the sidewalk.  Yellow police tape cordons off the area.  Two detectives are squatting down near the body talking to the medical examiner.  A witness says that the victim was walking down the street when a car came around the corner, hit the person, and drove off in a hurry.

A uniformed cop comes up and says, “Detectives, we found a call placed from the payphone across the street at the same time our victim was murdered.”

The detectives trade a knowing glance: this is no accident.
