  • This is the English we speak with.

  • Me, Jiayin and me Neil.

  • And I'm doing a bit of detective work today.

  • Detective work?

  • So you're still searching for information about the missing biscuits?

  • It's a bit of a mystery, isn't it?

  • Yes.

  • I think a crime has been committed.

  • Someone has stolen the office biscuit tin and we've got nothing to eat.

  • So, Neil, when did this happen?

  • It disappeared from the kitchen yesterday.

  • But this morning the tin had been returned and now it's empty.

  • Ah, the plot thickens.

  • There's no plot, Jiaying.

  • This isn't a story or a play.

  • It's real life.

  • Well, sort of.

  • I know, it's just a saying.
