"You're off the case"-a great plot device for padding out a paper thin story. They did it to Morse, Frost, PC Theo, Linley all of them.

Pustule stared long and hard at the photograph. Then he went and got a magnifiying glass and peered closely. He gave a sigh of relief, tell-tale signs such as globules of chicken burger, slivers of pork scratchings and finally strands of the cat's pubic hair re-assured him that the dribble was his and that Alan was not incontinent after all.

Then Pustule's mobile rang. He answered the caller sharply,

"Pustule here, who's calling me this bloody time of night?

Oh,

I'll be down the station right away.

Alan I'm off down the station, to see the boss."

Pustule stormed into his bosses office, "This has got to be bloody urgent, I was about to slip into something comfortable"

The Boss replied,"I'll come to the point, Pustule you're off the case"

"I'm bloody what?"

"You're off the case"

"I don't understand"

"Pustule I'll say it slowly

you're

off

the

case"

"Yes but why?"

Because of your blatant Homophobia. 

By the way, Segeant Dribble has arrested the killer, Mrs Scrub has  made a full confession. The young lady pathologist noted that the substantial injuries suffered by the victim, (Mr Scrub) could only have been made with a scouring brush. They matched marks that Mrs Scrub had made on various surfaces in the loos. Dribble put one and one together, and it all fell into place

"Well bugger me" exclaimed a bewildered Pustule.

"Not while there's dogs about" commented Sergeant Dribble; who had silently entered the office.

I should like to thank, Phil, Bubbles and Coosh for their contributions. 
 
However trust bloody BRN to come in and spoil things, I'm glad that Wall Porker has come back to annoy him again.

Hmm, this seems to be petering out quite badly. 
 
Other than that its fine. 
 
Try including something about cabbage, or at least, the smell of cabbage. 
 
Regards

It has actually finished. 
 
The murder is solved using evidence you were not a party to. (an old Agatha Christie Trick) 
 
The killer is somebody you meet briefly then never hear of again till the end. 
 
And dont forget the little joke or if it's Morse rye comment at the end (Morse loved his whisky).

That's the way to end it, always leave them calling for more, unlike these cop stories on TV which stretch a paper thin plot over four hours. As you say siddie I think you covered every cliche. 
cheers
