The Suspect

Every week 
he's accused of a crime. 
Wherever he goes
someone turns up dead, 
and he's smack in the case.
The cops like him fine 
as the number one suspect
to hang it on ace. But
they always admit, once
he gets down to work 
to clear his own name 
by doing their job - 
he looks good to them.
But not as the perp,
in the end. "Oh,
I understand, detective.
Happens all the time."
