'I'm sure that the autopsy will confirm it was a suicide.'

'Who was the murderer? Well Watson, that's the killer question.'

"We subscribe to five streaming services so why are we never able to see the hot new show everybody is raving about?"

"What are you in for?"

'Fancy coming on a man hunt?'

"You want me to explain how there were two doughnuts in the larder and now there is only one? Easy, it was too dark in there to see the second one."

"Hey - didn't I see you on TV last night?"

'Did you see who pushed you?'

'He died of too much money.'

'I don't think there's anyone home...Or am I just being naive?...'

'Just move along...Nothing core to see here.'

'I gather this is your first sting operation.'
