Catch of the Day/Transcript

Josiah: And that's about the gist of what happened.

Isabel: Wow, glad I chose to come in today. I didn't think we'd actually have any recreational pirates roaming about the seas near Warrenville.

Josiah: I'm just hoping these pirates aren't up to anything illegal beyond treasure hunting, if what I heard is true, they aren't afraid to kill should it come to that.

Isabel: Don't worry about it, if they try anything, I'm sure we'll be able to handle them.

Josiah: I hope so, why don't we go over to the fishing pier and fish for a bit, to take our minds of this business with the black market and the pirates.

Isabel: Sure thing,  seems up to it, I head home and grab some fishing poles. I'll meet you there.

At the fishing pier...

Josiah: Well, I knew some fishermen have trouble getting fish, but its been almost 2 hours and I've got nothing.

Isabel: Looks like you need to improve your fishing skills Josiah, because I don't see what you're talking about.

Josiah: Easy for you to say, you-

Josiah: Wait, hang on, I think I caught something! Man, its heavy!

Isabel: Quick , let's get behind him and give him a hand.

Josiah: On three, one.... two..... THREE!

Josiah: Hey I caught a.... OH MY GOD!

Isabel: Is that.... a body?

Josiah: Secure the scene, now!

Chapter 1
Investigate Fishing Pier

Josiah: I think there's no question that man was killed, and not by me.

Isabel: Well, unless fishing hooks can somehow cause someone's neck to slice, I think someone else had to have killed him.

Josiah: Right, best we get the word from Daphne on what did kill him.

Isabel: And it looks like that pile of seaweed came up with the victim, let's look through it and see what's in there.

Josiah: But why's this business card wet, did that come up with our victim too?

Isabel: Not sure, but we don't have an ID on our victim, so let's recover the writing on here and see if we can get one.

Josiah: I don't what happened for this body to end up at sea, but I'm sure we'll find out, let's get to work!

Autopsy the Victim's Body

Examine Seaweed

Josiah: What the heck is this metal thing doing here?

Isabel: It kinda looks like that thing you use when you're cracking the shell off a lobster or crab.

Josiah: Looks that way, but that still doesn't answer why its here.

Isabel: Well, hopefully the water hasn't washed all the evidence on this thing away. Better get Victor's word on this.

Analyze Shell Cracker

Examine Business Card

Josiah: It says here this was a business card for a restaurant called Maison Auclair.

Isabel: I've heard of that place, its some French restaurant close to here, we passed by it.

Josiah: If our victim had a card from that place, then he must have went there. Let's have a look at that restaurant ourselves.

Investigate Maison Auclair

Josiah: Wow, I knew this district had some fancy gourmet dining places, but this is fancy.

Isabel: Stay focused, we can worry about eating afterwards. Looks like  is already onto something, someone seems to have left that briefcase behind.

Josiah: If its our victim's we better check, let's unlock it.

Josiah: And if you want to look through that tray for evidence, go right ahead.

Tobias: What on Earth is going on, why are you here?

Isabel: Warrenville PD, please identify yourself sir.

Tobias: I am Tobias Watts, I am the head chef of this restaurant.

Josiah: Do you happen to recognize this man?

Tobias: Why certainly. He's my boss, Pierce Church, why do you ask.

Josiah: We're going to need you to step aside Mr. Watts, we have a few questions to ask you.

Examine Briefcase

Josiah: Looks like a business schedule planner of some sorts, but it has our victim's name on it.

Isabel: Let's see if he was meeting anyone before his death... Last entry reads "Meet with Dustin at his nearby apartment building"

Josiah: Wait, a man named Dustin who owns an apartment building? Does that sound familiar?

Isabel: It should, he must mean Dustin Snyder, he's the landlord we met back at that art gallery murder.

Josiah: Well, looks like he's come up again in another murder investigation. But what business did he have with our victim?

Isabel: Best we talk with Dustin ourselves and see.

See what business Dustin had with the victim

Dustin: Well hey there officers, haven't seen you since that business with the Triangle, glad that's over.

Josiah: As are we Mr. Snyder, but your name came up in another matter. Does the name Pierce Church ring a bell?

Dustin: Yes actually, he owns that restaurant Maison Auclair, he wanted to speak with me about expanding his business.

Dustin: I've been in this city for a long time, so I know my way around business. Heck, this is one of a dozen buildings I own in this town.

Isabel: Well, he won't be able to make any expansions, we found him murdered.

Dustin: What? That can't be right, he was fine yesterday, you sure you got the right guy here?

Josiah: Does this look like him? This is the man we found on the fishing pier, with his neck sliced.

Dustin: God, it is him. I thought after this Triangle nonsense things would go back to normal around here.

Isabel: Trust us Dustin, things may get worse. But rest assured we'll find who's responsible for this.

Examine Tray

Josiah: Looks like our victim isn't afraid to purchase meals at his own restaurant, this receipt was made out to him.

Isabel: Our victim left something here too, "You're really showing signs of improving, keep it up Allison."

Josiah: This Allison person must work here, let's ask her about her meeting with the victim.

Talk to Allison about the victim's meeting with her

Josiah: Miss Cline, are you busy?

Allison: Oh no, I'm just trying to juggle three orders while making sure I don't drop anything, so yeah, I'm not busy!

Josiah: I suggest you watch your tone Miss Cline, we're investigating a murder, your boss's murder to be precise.

Allison: What? Pierce was killed?

Isabel: Can you think of anyone who'd want him dead?

Allison: I can imagine some people might want him gone, but I didn't really pay attention to any of that stuff.

Allison: I just started working here last month, and I have my own problems to worry about. Oh, I hope Pierce's murder won't mean the place won't close down, I really need this job.

Inform Tobias of the murder

Isabel: When was the last time you saw Mr. Church?

Tobias: This morning, he said he was going to check on the latest shipment of food, but I haven't heard from him since.

Isabel: We're sorry to say, but Pierce was killed. We ended up fishing his body out of the ocean.

Tobias: What!? This... This can't be!

Tobias: The restaurant, who's going to look after the restaurant?

Josiah: Mr Watts, please calm down. Now, what can you tell us about Pierce Church?

Tobias: He was the owner of this place, a restauranteur of the finest quality.

Tobias: He made it his job to ensure the finest food was served from this place, and wouldn't accept anything less. Hence why I'm still working to this day.

Josiah: Have you been here for that long?

Tobias: I've been here since the place opened, and I haven't stopped making quality food ever since. Tobias: I'll help out anyway I can, he was a dear friend to me, I cannot let this lie!
