You ever think about how a movie director uses misdirection to keep the audience guessing? I love that, and I bet you use similar tricks to peel back layers of a suspect. How do you see it?

Misdirection is a tool, not a trick. A director plants clues, then pulls them away, letting the audience’s focus shift. I do the same with people – observe what they say, what they avoid, the little habits that reveal their true intent. By steering the investigation the same way a scene is framed, I can uncover the hidden truth while keeping the suspect—and the truth—under the surface until the right moment.

Nice, you’re basically a human camera lens. Just remember, the best camera isn’t the one that hides the frame, it’s the one that shows you what you never thought was there. Keep shooting, just don't forget to switch the angle every few scenes, or the whole thing ends up looking like a flat montage.

That’s a solid reminder. I’ll keep the angles shifting, so the picture stays crisp and the truth still has a little mystery to it.
