First Investigation

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Everyone wakes up this morning and finds that nothing is immediately off, however you have the strangest feeling of-

Actually you know what?

A baby died this week already.

This sinful game doesn't deserve playful coyness this week.

Investigate?]

[candymancan]

[owo...]

This might have caused the burns, then.

[He sounds particularly unconcerned about it.

What else is in the area that he might notice?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[well there are some hairs around the pot too]

[candymancan]

[Oh fuck y'all really did have her face get shoved into the pot of boiling oil, didn't you.

The hairs do match with Zhu Li's, yes? And how do they look- singed, coated in oil...?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[They don't, actually. Unlike Zhu Li's, the singed oily hairs are noticeably shorter.]

[candymancan]

[... Huh. What color are the hairs?

Wonka grabs a ziplock bag and shoves a few of the hairs into that. Evidence saved to the court record.]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Hard to tell, what with the burning and all.]

[candymancan]

[Fair enough. He puts the bag into his pocket.

Ok, anything else about the pot and stove?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Besides Zhu Li being there that i totally forgot! Not with the pot but it seems like there are other things around the counter.]

[candymancan]

[Hooray! Wonka continues to give absolutely no attention to the fact that there's a dead woman's head in the pot he was just examining.

What've we got on the counter?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Cooking utensils are lying about the counter. There is also a chopped raw onion too.]

[candymancan]

[What types of cooking utensils?

And are any of the onions present in the pot as well?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[A knife, a spider (the cooking thing not the living thing), tongs, stuff like that.

And no, there are no onions in the pot.]

[candymancan]

[Hmmmm

Ok! Anything else?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[A couple of things!

First of all, it seems like all the bottles of oil are empty now.]

[candymancan]

[Hooray! How many bottles is that? And were they all full before this point?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Like, at least two, and they were full before then.]

[candymancan]

[cool! What else is there?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[There are grease stains in the cabinet.

... I should also make note of the pot lid on Zhu Li and the pot.

It's fine it's a secret.]
