A detective lieutenant of the RCM went up in flames yesterday after setting a bottle of 197.4 proof alcohol on fire and taking a drink. "He moved so quickly and decisively, there was nothing I could do to stop him," said Lieutenant Kitsuragi, who was present at the scene. "I must admit, however, that I was not entirely surprised by this turn of events. He seemed to be going through a lot." "That's just like him, to take his leave in a fit of theatricality while the rest of us have to clean up the mess," Satellite-Officer Vicquemare commented, referring to the case that the deceased was working on at the time of his death. That case remains unsolved.
