A Word from the Editor-in-Chief.
Hello, dear readers! I would like to please you with the news that today the first issue of our new daily newspaper has been released, but the events of the night cast a shadow over this fact. Be that as it may, we, as honest citizens, must do everything we can to help our law enforcement agencies in the fight against crime!


Unheard-of Treachery.
Today, Zubr did not greet the dawn. When the townspeople came to his home, they found him sleeping in his bed. Sleeping an eternal sleep with a neat hole in his head. At the crime scene, they found only a strange fish scale and a piece of old cloth.


Appalling Cruelty.
And another murder, even more terrible than the one described above! This morning, the lifeless body of Arandor was found near the entrance of a building. Actually, a body was found, and the head from that body was found in a trash can nearby. Everything around was covered in blood, and a bloody inscription was scrawled on the wall: “you’re old, but you’re holding up well.” A test tube with a colorless liquid was also found at the crime scene.


Other News.
Polosataya, as usual, was admiring the night sky. Suddenly, she felt that someone was watching her. However, when she looked around, she didn't notice anyone, but she still preferred to continue admiring the stars in another place.


Nighttime Conversations.
Tonight, our correspondent overheard a conversation between two unknown individuals. He couldn't even make out the outlines of the speakers, but he managed to record part of the dialogue:

-You must use all your capabilities. Including such low ones as lies, betrayal, intrigue, and intimidation.
-But they are newcomers... Maybe we shouldn't treat them like that?
-Since they've arrived, it's already too late. Whose life is more important to you? Yours or theirs?
-Yes, master... I will do as you say...

At this, the mysterious conversation ended, and the suspicious interlocutors went their separate ways.

Day 1 is coming. The following people live in the city:
2. Siverfale
3. Polosataya
4. WisTrit
5. Major Vikhr
6. Neyra Drake
8. SteN
9. Hermit
10. Drakkoska
11. Kash
12. Revan

The following people do not live in the city:
1. ZYbr
7. Arandor

Is this what you call a newspaper?! Where are the sports, jokes, or at least a crossword puzzle?))
Arandor didn't have much luck, but he wouldn't have lasted long anyway - both sides are probably glad he was taken out so quickly)))
Let's put forward some theories - who killed whom and why, and so on.

The editorial team was in a hurry, otherwise there would have been a column with humor :smile43:

I only have this version so far: Arega was killed because he was pressuring the editorial staff. Apparently, the killer is an editor.

Maybe we should go back to the classics? Assassin - the butler!:o

The Mafia killed Zubr, and Arandor was killed by a maniac – that’s a fact. Therefore, either two peaceful citizens are gone, or we got lucky, and the maniac killed one of the Mafia members.

I think the person who was watching Polosataya is the Doctor. And that’s good – the Doctor is still alive. As for the clues, they don’t say much, except that rags are associated with Polosataya’s dress.

Let's discuss the clues and decide who to execute there. It's a shame Arandor is gone. We have a rag, scales, a vial with a colorless liquid, and a nonsensical inscription on the wall, possibly written by Arandor himself. What are your thoughts?

Unfortunately, anyone could kill Arandor – for obvious reasons.

Where did you get such accurate information, if you don't mind me asking?

Methods of assassination.

Unfortunately, anyone could have killed Arandor - for obvious reasons.

If the motivation is simply to kill him for who he is, and not to plot intrigues, then it could have been anyone except:
Whirl, Stan, Hermit, and Cash - for obvious reasons.

Not that I want to accuse anyone of being a murderer or a mobster, but nevertheless – servile behavior (“yes, master”) and similar expressions were mainly used by Sylvan, and one of us has a rather close relationship with them.

If the motivation was simply to kill him for who he is, and not to plot intrigues, then it could have been anyone except:
Whirlwind, Stan, Hermit, and Cash – for obvious reasons.

. Nevertheless, it is unlikely that he was killed because of personal emotions – on the other hand, he was killed by a maniac, and he may act without any logic.

Did someone defeat Zubr in a sea battle? Who else did it?
And here's someone who defeated Krabe, and the description is strange...

Zubra could have taken down Krabe – if not for the fact that the maniac acts faster than the mafia.

Who should we hang, friends?
Perhaps we shouldn't be swayed by the general image of kindness in this situation...

In the morning, a lifeless body of Arandor was found near the entrance of a building. Actually, the body was found, and the head was found in a trash can nearby.

Hmm, maybe Ar was a homeless person? Of course, it doesn't matter anymore, I just wanted to lighten the mood.

Let's take turns sharing our guesses until the new night arrives. Besides the clues, we don't have anything else, so we need to use them somehow. So:
1. Fish scale - it could belong to Drakoshka, Vistrit, or Nayra Drake; I hope I don't need to explain why.
2. Rag - I don't have many ideas here, as I don't know you all very well:rolleyes:
3. Test tube with liquid - I would suspect myself, but my picture shows a cup of red compote, so let's keep looking.
4. Nonsensical signature - the only thing that comes to mind is Kesh, not in the sense that his profile is nonsense, but in the sense that his signature "Fathers and Sons" may indirectly refer to this inscription.
5. Dialogue - it seems that in "Star Wars," the Jedi's opponents called each other "master," "lord," "sith," and so on. Also, Revan has a gun in the picture, and it seems that he could have shot Zubr with it, who, as a normal deceased person, is quietly silent and doesn't write angry comments)))
That's my reasoning. Does anyone else have any ideas?
