Do they really think I’m that stupid?
Of course I don’t have any in my bathroom. None in the house at all.
I hid them in your bathroom… and, if I’m not mistaken… they’re knocking on your door right now!

It’s the oldest trick in the detective book. They arrive in pairs, pose a few questions, then one asks to use the bathroom. Of course, they don’t need to go, they want to check the bathroom cabinet for medications found in the deceased’s body. Or bleach or some other substance that might have been used to clean the murder scene.

Clever way to get around having a search warrant. Also, clever way to avoid discovery. Ominous tale!
