"The fuck's he on about -- kids?!" The one behind the fence yells. "You hear that, Cuno? He thinks you're an infant or something."

The rest of the rags are just kitchen-variety waste. A yellow old mug that catches your eye. But other than that...

"Yes." He nods. "I think the clothes were taken off to get to that armour he wore, then discarded. They must have stripped him of it fast, too, the scavengers -- in a matter of days."

This feels like something you should return to with Lieutenant Kitsuragi present. Also, it makes you feel like an idiot for not having an evidence bag on you -- what will you do with a dead man's trousers?

Darkness engulfs you. The stink of rot nearly knocks you out. For a minute you can smell cigarette smoke wafting in from outside -- then it is gone, and you hear footsteps walking away.

- Darkness engulfs you. The stink of rot nearly knocks you out. For a minute you can smell cigarette smoke wafting in from outside -- then it is gone, and you hear footsteps walking away.
- A few words also come through the metal: "Good night, detective." But they dissipate around you like the smoke; you hear the lieutenant's footfall carry him away.

There's nothing more of interest in this sludge of peels and meat by-product. Try the carton or those stinking rags.

It's just organic waste, cold and slimy on your hands. Apple and potato peels mostly, unidentified sludge, and the occasional chicken bone thrown in for good measure. But hey...

A blue piece of plastic sticks out from the apple peels. It's shiny. Looks like the corner of something...

Something larger -- a clipboard! A blue plastic clipboard with moist papers hanging from it. They look badly damaged, but you can still make out forms and notes. Written in a man's handwriting...

"It is, look..." He points to the clipboard. "The plastic has the RCM street grid on it. You've even got an autopsy form in there..." A miserable looking slip of paper sticks to the board.

- "There's a lot of it too." He nods approvingly. "And you've got an autopsy form in there -- in the back. That light pink copy paper." A miserable looking slip of paper sticks to the board.

"Officer, this is an official piece of paperwork. It probably contains notes on numerous ongoing investigations -- and could even list undercover operatives. Informants. I suggest integrating it into your style. For all our sakes."

- "Do-eth thou also thorough inventories?" He points to the ruined notes. "You should take stock of your notes, make sure it's all there. Official notes contain informants' names. If some of it has fallen into the hands of the RCM's adversaries, bloodletting may well ensue."
- "I don't know either..." He points to the ruined notes. "You should take stock of your notes, make sure it's all there. Official notes contain informants' names. If some have fallen into the hands of the RCM's adversaries, bloodletting may well ensue."
- "Lucky we found it. You should take stock of what remains, just to be sure some has not made it into the hands of the RCM's adversaries. Organized crime and the like. There might have been police secrets in your notes."

- "Boring? Try dangerous. You should do a thorough inventory of that -- be sure some has not fallen into the hands of the RCM's enemies: organized crime, or worse... Official notes sometimes contain informants' names, even undercover operatives."
