The suspects know each other. They may well be family or friends. But the detective is always the outsider. He asks the necessary questions but he doesn't actually form a relationship with anyone.

Once the killer has been identified, the detective leaves and is never seen again. In fact, everyone is glad to see the back of him.”",
