I was shocked and somewhat disappointed to learn that my neighbour, in the apartment below, has only had his heating on for a total of two days this whole and quite cold winter! How selfish can you get? No wonder it’s been chilly up here. I was relying on the tight-fisted so-and-so to keep me warm and save me some money.

With facts thin on the ground, we had to let Mr Tee go. It will be impossible to get a grip on him unless he really slips up. He’s a master of disguise. It’s likely he’s completely evaporated by now.
The Chief has got a hot temper, which hasn’t helped in questioning such a cool customer. The enquiry has been brushed aside, filed with the cold cases.
It leaves me cold to think the Norwich Carrotter might be out there still. I think he’ll be back, it’s just a matter of time. I’ll just grit my teeth, be patient and throw some salt over my shoulder for luck. Nothing to get hot under the collar about.
It pays to keep a cool head in this game.

We put the squeeze on known associates of the suspects. One of them cracked, the other said he wouldn’t split on his friends.
We went looking for others but they seem to have melted away into the gutters of this cold-hearted city.
Had to have a word with the junior detective on the case after he said, “Don’t know about you guv, but they all look the same to me.” That was not very PC of him.
Things have been a little frosty between us as a result.

We need to move fast in the carrotting case. Frankly, we are stumped. Witnesses are turning out to be a little flakey.
The Chief is putting pressure on, “We can’t afford to let this slide.” he told today’s briefing. Still looking for a motive, but I got a hunch that lots of lolly will be involved.
If you know anything call our hotline.

It was a black and white kind of day. I took a turn into town and found this stiff on the street. At first I thought, ‘Poor guy, he’s frozen to death’ but then I recognised him, Cedric! I called the cops, he had been carrotted.

“Well done for getting out!” he said
as if I’d slipped out
past the plastic police
of Serco plc
who run Yarl’s Wood
Immigration Removal Centre
.
In fact, all I had done
was walk to town
in the snow
