Those clues are both pretty useless.
Gutted I missed a case, but not too upset as it was pretty open and shut.
Did I miss donuts?
Been held up in Malaga airport. I’m assisting Spanish transport police with an emergency investigation. Apparently a passenger was found trying to slip a “cuchillo de hielo” into their carry on luggage. They’d have got away with it too, but their thermos was made of metal.
No, but drinks are on @SenorDingDong now he’s got a staff discount.
You’ll have to pour your own drinks though guys, I’m busy running an illegal poker game through the back.
Been a while since a decent new case came in, @saps.
Show a bit of respect to your superiors Detective Raanraals. It’s Inspector @saps.
Right guys, settle down, settle down.
This is easy. It’s a classic case of a troublesome squirrel causing mayhem in pursuit of nuts.
Were Trixie and Buddy engaged in a clandestine affair?
Good line of thinking. Turns out Buddy was in love with her but it wasn’t reciprocated.
She only had eyes for the squirrel?
Had Buddy sent her something? Found it in the bin when he broke in?
The worried neighbour knew Trixie’s whereabouts? How convenient. And if my time in this business has taught me anything, it’s that things are often convenient.
Trixie used Buddy’s feelings for her to convince him to kill her hubby. After that, she told him she didn’t love him, so he shot himself.
Buddy hadn’t sent her anything. No bins involved.
Convenient or not it doesn’t look like the neighbour is involved any further.
The only part of this that’s true is in bold
In that case, she told Buddy she didn’t want him, so Buddy killed her husband before turning the gun on himself.
Forensics checks out, let’s get this wrapped up.
