Dialogue
402- "What can I do for you, boss-man?"
- A brisk coastal wind still howls against the window of the shack. Occasionally the waves…
- "Hello, mister!" The Net Picker's daughter waves at you.
- This phrase is meant to be looked at from above.
- A man lies on the boardwalk, his limbs bent and neck turned at an unnatural angle. Right…
- Snow is quietly covering the numerous wine bottles and cigarette butts on the ground…

- In your hand, you hold four-fifths of "Dick Mullen and the Mistaken Identity."
- The 'Suzerainty' box is heavy and slightly awkward in your hands. You give it a light…
- Whoa! In your hand: pyrholidon -- the double rainbow of synthetic hallucinogens. Rare and…
- The spread pattern of these bullet holes makes your chest ache. Your breath grows heavier.
- The title reads: "Codex Urik: the Industrious Dweorgr of Wirrâl". It's an introductory…
- You are immediately surprised by the ball's lack of weight. No matter. You'll make it…

Notes
461- "I think we'd like to ask you a few questions. Don't you think so, detective?" The lieutenant looks quite fed up with the situation.
- "Okay, enough! We are here to ask you some questions pertaining to a murder investigation."
- "Yes, this place really seems to run like clockwork. Keep it up, Leo." The lieutenant smiles at the little man.
- The containers in the yard are green in Wild Pines livery and the mountain rising behind Leo is all red in Union colours.
- You see disdain in the lieutenant's dark eyes when they meet yours for a moment. He does not approve of you ridiculing this little man.
- "That was smart," the lieutenant says, nodding toward the unlocked door.
- "We should probably proceed with our business in Martinaise." The lieutenant interrupts her, turning to you. "Unless you didn't have any more official questi…
- "That was the last time, miss." He looks at you with a stern expression. "Our questioning here is concluded. Let's go."
- "We should probably proceed with our business in Martinaise." The lieutenant interrupts her, turning to you. "Unless you didn't have any more official questi…
- "Oh! That's actually what I was thinking -- THE HANGED MAN." He nods. "I like that. A good, strong name. We have a very good name for the case now."
- He flips the pages of his notebook. "I'm going to start calling it THE HANGED MAN. It's good we sorted this out."
- Absolutely motionless at first, then animated slowly, imperceptibly even, the lieutenant begins to browse his notes again. Leaving you to the case files.
- "Okay then." He returns to his notes, abruptly. "The case doesn't need to have a name."
- "Thank you," the lieutenant nods. "I think so too. Good and normal."
- "No-no, you deserve it. We can log it later." The lieutenant drops the bag in your bloody hand. It feels light.
- "Don't be silly." A smile comes across his face. "You've earned it. Consider the binoclard episode forgotten." The lieutenant drops the bag in your bloody ha…
- "Of course. You've earned it." The lieutenant drops the bag in your bloody hand. It feels light.
- "One more thing -- this was really good work, detective."
