Man (Stupid Detective's Partner)
The young, beautiful, sexy lady is married to an old, rich businessman. One day, the husband dies from unknown causes, and two detectives are invited to investigate. The lead detective is stupid, one-track minded with love for women and money. His partner however, is smart, intuitive and married to his job. Immediately, the lead detective finds himself extremely attracted to the new widow and takes it upon himself to comfort and console her, taking advantage of her fragile state to get closer to her. His partner however, having the heart of steel, is cold and blunt towards her and focuses on the case. The attitude taken by the smart detective annoys the lead detective, and leads to arguments and fighting between the two partners.
As the smart detective's investigation continues, the widow becomes a growing suspect in the case. The lead detectives feelings for the widow however, prevent the smart detective from further digging, and prevents him from learning the truth. In the end, the widow is really the cold, calculating killer who has taken advantage of the lead detective's feelings for her until finally, she kills him, but is then in turn killed by the smart detective who has seen through it all.
