Spanish Detective Inquisitor sketch - Mercorabilia

A rare entry from my Mercorabilia collection today.
I originally wrote a much longer version of this sketch but was worried it seemed too repetitive so I slimmed it down a bit to keep it short and sweet.

(Officers milling around incident room in front of a board summarising the case. Inspector enters with pointer)

Sergeant: Gentlemen, let’s settle down and review this case.

(Police officers find a seat while Inspector positions self by the board with pointer)

Sergeant: So far we’ve established that our chief suspect is Andrews…Andrews or Baker; our two - two chief suspects are Andrews or Baker…but it could have been Clarkson. Our three – three chief suspects are: Andrews, Baker or Clarkson.

PC: Not forgetting Davis, Chief.

Inspector: Absolutely! So, among our chief suspects are Andrews, Baker, Clarkson, or Davis…Um…let’s start again.  

(Door opens)

Constable: Sergeant! We’ve just heard – there’s been another murder!

Sergeant: How many times have I told you not to interrupt, Constable? Can’t you see we’re busy here?

Constable: Sorry, Serge.

(Constable makes to leave)

Sergeant: That’s better. No – wait a minute. Come back here!

(Constable re-enters)

Sergeant: What did you just say?

Constable: Pardon.

Sergeant: Sorry, SergeANT!

For those of you who are interested, here's the original full-length sketch:

(Policemen gathered in a room in front of a board summarising the case. Inspector enters and moves over to board with pointer)

Inspector: Gentlemen, let’s settle down and review this case. So at approximately 7.24pm last night young Miss Ann Thrope was killed on her way home from work. Let’s look at possible culprits:

Inspector: Our chief suspect in this case is Adams … Adams or Brooks; two chief suspects, Adams … Brooks, but it could have been Caxton!

PC 1: Not forgetting Dunn, Chief.

Inspector: Absolutely! So, er, among our chief suspects are: Adams, Brooks, Caxton, or Dunn! Um…let’s start again. Let’s look at motive.

(move on to next part of board)

Inspector: So as far as we can tell, the murder was carried for the following reason - robbery… robbery or rape; two possible motives, robbery…rape but it could have been revenge. Our three possible motives are robbery, rape, revenge… or quite possibly ransom. Um….let’s move on to the method.

Inspector: So we know that the murder was committed using a knife…a knife or a gun; two possible weapons are knife … gun but they could have used rope. So three possible weapons knife, gun or rope…or maybe even poison…Hmm…this case is more complicated that I thought. Well at least we can be sure that we have only the one victim – Miss Thrope

PC 2: What about Miss Bea Leaf, Chief? She was killed in the exact same way.

Inspector: Ah yes! So two murder victims - Miss Thrope and Miss Leaf

PC 3: And there’s also Miss Carrie Jez. The ME said there’s a chance her murder was linked to Miss Thrope’s

Inspector: Ok. So our three murder victims are Miss Thrope, Miss Leaf and Miss Jez

PC 4: Then there’s Miss Demi Nurr, Chief.

(Inspector pauses looking despondent and then glances at the board)

Inspector: No wonder we haven’t caught him yet.
