Consulting Detectives

[@tobiaswinters3815]

The second detective said he was 'tidying up.' I don't care if he DOES have OCD. Cleaning at a crime scene. He was the murderer.

[@BadWolf739]

That one was based on Monk. Obsessive cleanliness is kind of his thing. In his show he'd do things like alphabetize the kitchen of the crime scene. The cops just seem to go with it.

You want me to believe that totally-not-Monk doesn't button up his shirt entirely? That's preposterous! Not to mention the not perfectly aligned scanning-fingers (Monk had wildly different scanning-hands where alignment wasn't really important) and non-constant duration of nose-touching. That being said, I quite enjoyed this. Oh, and for the record, I think totally-not-Sherlock would make a far better serial killer than totally-not-Monk. After all, if it's tidier after the crime than before, there aren't very many suspects. I think I'd prefer being murdered by Monk rather than Sherlock, but totally-not-Sherlock rather than totally-not-Monk. What do you people think about these matters?
