... A very long story. Oh there you are. Gunnarson, meet Wilkins."
After the greetings Wilkins got to translating.
15 minutes later, he had:
"Today, Mr. Hello!
Hello there
How are you
I'm good and you
Roll your mother
This is your opponent beat you"
"You're fired". Gent said upon hearing the rather incoherent babble.
(Sadly that's really what came up)

(It was supposed to say, ""
"Hello there"
"How are you?"
"I'm good and you?"
"F**K YOU!"
"This is your adversary, looks like I beat you.")
"Wait," Gunnarson, "I get it! Someone is trying to go against us!"

"Wait, what?" Gent asked; he wasn't sure he understood what Gunnarson was saying.

"Yes! Someone wants to beat us, show us that we don't know anything, that we - even worse, I - aren't good detectives."
"Oh, I see!" ("Damn," he thought, "Gunnarson sure is a bit vain.")

"So what do we do then? Where do we start?" Gent asked. "If there is anything I can do to help..."

"In fact there is something," said Gunnarson.
"What is it?"

"These are real names here... Of real people. Let's find a way to get them all in one room. We figure out which ones do and don't match the description; we observe those who do."
"We find the killer?"
"Bingo". Gunnarson said.
"I think I have an idea". Gent said as he went to go call in a couple favors from an old friend.

Meanwhile, Gunnarson noticed something strange.
"Funny, this should be here..."

"What are you looking at?" Gent asked
"This, over here" Gunnarson said.
"What's wrong with it?" Gent asked.
"Well, I noticed that..."

"this section of tobacco cartons should here... but they're not!"

"Section of tobacco cartons? Is there a page missing?" Gent asked, not sure what Gunnarson was referring to.

"No, the shelf itself is empty!"
And for the first time, Gent saw it.

"There was an empty shelf in the store? Maybe he just didn't restock yet." Gent suggested, deciding to approach rationally first.

"Would a store owner leave half the store empty?"
"Yeah mean there's more than one shelf?"
"Oh, yes, I thought I said that. (My English isn't the best thing in the world.)"

"Why would his store be half empty?" Gunnarson pointed out.
"Maybe a delivery hadn't come in yet? It is the weekend after all" Gent suggested.

"Yes, but every store owner usually buys new stuff at least a week before."

"I'm going to make some arrangements. Maybe you should go back to the store and see if there is anything you missed" Gent suggested.
"But it could get attacked"
"I got three of my best guarding it; don't worry, it's secured" he assured.
Gunnarson went down the block, greeting the three officers guarding the store before going in.
"Now, what did I miss the first time?" Gunnarson said as he looked around.

Suddenly, he turned and noticed an extremely beautiful woman standing outside.
"Now who is that?"

*pause
Sorry, I just want to be sure I understand Gunnarson's personality- is he the "work comes first" kind of guy or "easily distracted by women" kind of guy?

Work comes first. He can tell if a woman is beautiful or not, but he does not 'fall in love/lust', at the most, he will become friends with them, but that's as far as he goes.
