How did Inspector Poon know Mr. Winkles death was not a suicide?
Inspector Poon had smoked a sizable rock of his most favorite of cocaines, crack cocaine, before driving over to the Winkle Estate. A bad hallucination on the way over had put him in a bad mood, which Captain Mallory’s undisguised hatred of the Inspector had done nothing to alleviate. Eager to be the first to solve the mystery, thus making Mallory look like a big fat stupid know-it-all who really knows nothing, Inspector Poon decided to start randomly pointing a few fingers in the hopes that someone might confess. He decided to start with the window Winkle, since he’d observed the portrait hanging in the study. Poon deduced that she was attractive, and that the accusation might be a great way to break the ice and maybe even have sex with her. To his considerable shock, Mrs. Winkle quickly confessed to the crime. Inspector Poon was greatly relieved no one would discover yet that he didn’t know anything about solving mysteries.
