I'm starting my story with my protagonist found (by the police), bleeding at a crime scene. When he wakes up, he has no recollection i.e. he's lost his memory. He's interrogated by two Inspectors, but as he doesn't remember anything, it's mostly a one-sided conversation with the Inspectors essentially describing the crime scene.

**My Question** : How can I avoid such long 'walls' of one-sided dialogue and make the description more interesting for the reader?
