The room, their bedroom is naturally covered in her DNA. She removes the murder weapon and feigns sadness as she reports him dead; then closes the door with a relaxed sigh at the thought of a blissfully peaceful retirement without him.
We join our seasoned detective as she surveys perhaps her last crime scene. She won’t be allowed to work on the case, not because she retires in a week, but because of a conflict of interest; it’s her husband that’s dead. She still scans the room to see if there’s anything she’s missed - a force of habit really.
