The Inadequate Investigations of Inspector Ifimus

by

The man had been murdered. And it was obvious he had been stabbed. Inspector Ifimus relayed his dire conclusions to the man's pale-faced wife.

'Well, that's obvious!' she shouted furiously.

'Is that so?' he asked, suspicious. 'You're no detective. How come you know he's been stabbed?'

She gasped. 'Are you kidding me?'

'Madam, this is no laughing matter,' Ifimmus told her sternly. 'And stop evading the question. How do you know the manner in which your husband died?'

The woman glared, then gestured to the corpse.

'There's a knife sticking out of his bleedin' forehead.'

And so there was.

    Glad you liked it Neville! And I've made this one a series, so doubtless Inspector Ifimus will have more 'mysteries' to uncover :)
