“I suspect foul play,” Morrisey said.

“So you don’t suspect it’s suicide?” Hayden asked. “It sure looks to me like suicide.”

“I suspect the scene was staged make it look like suicide, but I suspect the vic was murdered,” Morrisey said.

“Who do you suspect did it?” Hayden asked.

“I suspect it was her husband,” Morrisey answered. “The husband is always the most likely suspect.”

“Yeah, I suspect that’s true,” Hayden agreed.

“I looked into the suspect before we got here,” Morrisey said. “He’s suspected of having a different wife and kids one town over.”

“You mean he’s living a double life?” Hayden asked. “We need to bring him in for questioning.”

“I suspect our suspect has already skipped town,” Morrisey lamented.

I suspect you’re right,” Hayden agreed.

    Please kill them in the line of duty. These guys are nice, yet nuts at the same time.

        I like them, but these two with their eccentric behaviour make simple cases weirder, so I feel sorry for them.

    My wife had a friend who had a husband who actually did have another wife and family one town over. Luckily there was no murder involved.

      I have my hands full with one wife and family. I can’t begin to imagine what having two would be like.
