Raymond then partnered the player with Grayson and suggested the pair head to the boulevard with haste. Later, as they neared a waxworking shop, Grayson suspected something was amiss and asked they investigate. There, they found the body of infamous lawyer Sebastian Cross, known for his cutthroat intelligence and lack of emotion, dead, covered in wax. Daphne first commended the killer on their ingenuity, before revealing that Sebastian was killed after the wax was poured down his oesophagus. They first questioned the victim's wife, waxworker Miranda Cross, before suspecting Valentini patriarch Lorenzo Valentini, who openly admitted to having the victim on his payroll, and Frank himself. Later on, Matthew and Mildred admitted they frequented the nightclubs in Arcadia Strip and that they recognized the victim, revealing that Sebastian was a drag queen by night!
