Now on CSI:AV...
Cpt. Brass: Oh hey, you must be the new CSI, Mr..?
AV1611VET: AV.
Brass: Ri-ight. Well, I'm Jim Brass, and it looks pretty much like a simple suicide, so...
AV: Let me be the judge of that. *Looks around room* Definitely murder!
Brass: Er, what makes you say that?
AV: There's a half full glass of water in the sink underneath that slowly dripping tap.
Brass: Yes, the amount of water is consistent with the TOD, I guess he never thought to wash up before he shot himself.
AV: An unwarranted assumption. Someone clearly was here, half filled the glass, shot the victim and departed. Hence murder!
Brass: Uh, yeah. Well the place has already been dusted for prints and there were only the victim's so...
AV: The killer wore gloves, yes.
Brass: And there were no other footprints on the carpet meaning...
AV: He or she suspended themselves from the ceiling in some sort of harness. I suggest you check if there are any circuses or acrobatic shows in town.
Brass: And of course the door was locked...
AV: Meaning the killer had a key, hence was known to the victim. Cherchez la femme, Captain.
Brass: With the key still in the inside lock...
AV: Obviously some clever device was used to turn it from the outside. The kind of thing a magician might use.
Brass: And the door bolt on...
AV: Moved with a magnet probably.
Brass: *takes out phone* Yeah. Excuse me a moment.
AV: Magic, flying, trick devices? Wait, I’m having a flash of brilliance!
Brass: *to phone* Grissom? It’s Jim Brass. Look about the new guy
AV: The murderer is David Copperfield! He was probably having a homosexual tryst with the victim and his evil immoral behaviour led him to murder! We must put out an APB immediately!
Brass:
I don’t think he’s working out!
