Print doesnt print out the content i assigned in Dictionary

i'm a beginner in programming. I have a question about dictionary, I have done some research but still doesn't fix the problem. I created a dictionary using integral 0, 1, 2 and 3 as key and (words) as content. I tried using get() function to retrieve the key in the dictionary and trying to print out the content in a if statement, but it prints out None. Below is the coding (not full but I take those related parts):

This is the dictionary:

class Fact(object):
    facts = {
        0 : "I heard something... someone saying...\nI... I... oh yes! The killer is a guy!.",
        1 : "2",
        2 : "3"
}

And this is how I code.

class People(object):

    def __init__(self, vital, mental, evidance_count):
        self.vital = vital
        self.mental = mental
        self.evidance_count = evidance_count

    def evidance(self, locate):
        return Fact.facts.get(locate)

    def talk(self):
        talk = self.evidance(self.evidance_count)
        self.evidance_count += 1

I also created a class Andy which inherits the class People, removed the unrelated part:

class Andy(People):

    def play(self):
    if self.mental < 6: #i only coded some basic print and raw_input before this part to reach my desired self.mental value = 4 which is less than 6.
        print self.talk()
    else:
        print "You did't get any hint from Andy."

    return Andy(self.vital, self.mental, self.evidance_count)

This is the end part of my code to initiate the codes:

hint = 0
andy = Andy(1, 5, hint)
andy.play()

print andy.vital
print andy.mental
print andy.evidance_count

I didn't get an error. But this:

None
1
4
1

I was expecting to get this, :

I heard something... someone saying...\nI... I... oh yes! The killer is a guy!.
1
4
1

Does anyone know which part of my code has gone wrong??

Your talk function needs to return the value:

def talk(self):
    talk = self.evidance(self.evidance_count)
    self.evidance_count += 1
    return talk

Produces output:

I heard something... someone saying...
I... I... oh yes! The killer is a guy!.
