In the first 20 minutes we find out what the crime is and who did it.
After finding a witness to a murder the detectives know the killer is an officer. The witness is then killed in their hiding spot. Very likely only one officer could have known where he was. They then find there were previous killings and that all record of them have been wiped out. Again the suspect officer would have had to of known of these killings but acts as though he never has. But our star detectives are completely befuddled.
The next 70 minutes is anti-climatic to all except the characters in the film and the screenwriters. Even Inspector Clouseau would have found and arrested the guilty party in the first 20 minutes of this film.
