Man In Black - Season 1 - Episode 79

“A sound near your head, and you wake up to see a bullet in your pillow. What will you do? You sound the alarm, in the end perhaps the perpetrator can be caught. Whatever it is, the main point is, the kill is, how do you say in English, bungled.

“Of course the headboard isn’t much of a problem with a thermal-imaging scope on your rifle. But look at this.” He patted the headboard again. “Do you see a hole in this?” Kunley shook his head. “Tell me this, then. Where did the bullet come in from?”

The young detective pointed at the hole in the window. “From there,” then to the scratch in the wall, “to there,” and then at the patch of dried blood on the bed. “To there.”
Clyde nodded his head. “Just so. Which leads me to believe that his rifle wasn’t capable of scanning through infared. It is possible he may not have been aware of this headboard, but I look at the way this kill was so skillfully done and saynon, hewasaware, and came prepared to carry it out anyway.”

Clyde turned around, slid aside the curtain and opened the windows, watching the hole in the one on the left as he did. He looked out at the street beside the house and the road beyond it. His eyes scanned the area, and landed on one building in particular.

“Now, as for where the shot was taken from,” he said, thoughtfully. He heard the sound of shoes on the floor from behind. Kunley had stood up. He walked to the window, peering over Clyde’s shoulder, though keeping a respectful distance. The officer was nothing if not respectful.
