* '''Reconstructed''': On the other hand, the police is never able to pin the murder on the mob boss. The most relentless KnightTemplar of prosecutors ''tries'', sure, but the boss' AmoralAttorney is able to convince all of the other cogs in the law enforcement machine that the StupidCrooks who watch too many mob films are the ones to blame, so the boss walks. The boss then establishes with his remaining goons which allegedly harmless terms are the actual kill orders and which are not.

* '''Deconstructed''': The mob boss tells two of his minions to "take care" of their accountant, Bob. The two promptly kill him and dispose of the body. However, the mob boss really ''did'' mean for them to take care of Bob, in the sense of keeping an eye on him; they're now down an accountant due to an easily-prevented misinterpretation, and the minions' continued prospects with the mob become pretty bleak when the boss finds out.
