There is no burner.

There is no second SIM.

There is a personal telephone and a company telephone, which he had carried since 2016, and both of us were in both of them, under our own names, with our own photographs.

Because a second secret telephone is a thing that has to be hidden, charged, and explained, and a man who has two telephones for perfectly ordinary reasons has already solved the problem.

He simply answered the company one in front of me and the personal one in front of her, and if that ever went wrong it went wrong as an ordinary rudeness rather than a suspicious one.

He never lied about small things.
