Last 2 reveal pages! Did you guess right? 🎣

(thanks again to mod lucy for hosting this very fishy adventure)

Page 5 of a fish-themed illustrated murder mystery by TB (tangentburd). Image features the front page of "The Daily Kelpdesk", the city's newspaper. Cody Leng is revealed to be the murderer of Elisabetta Pavone. A news article details how Cody lost his family from sports gambling, in particular the historic match between Pavone and Nan Tulwa. He sought to take revenge on Pavone by moving from the Atlantic to Seaflore City, where he tried to gain everyone's trust as a pawnshop employee. He hatched his plan after receiving the dinglehopper in the shop. He built his alibi by using a high-speed current between the city and hydrothermal vents to kill Pavone and return to the Lanternfishes' party within 10 minutes.

Page 6 of a fish-themed illustrated murder mystery by TB (tangentburd). Image features another page of the city's newspaper, where the two garden eels Clara and Hessie are revealed to have given key testimonies in the murder case. At the time of the murder, they were at Clara's burrow to watch a TV show, but witnessed Bonnie who accidentally splashed her bubble pipe scent while passing by. This therefore cleared Bonnie's name from the suspect list. Murray and Array are commended for solving the case.

Page 1 of a fish-themed illustrated murder mystery by TB (tangentburd). Image features a series of profiles, excerpts, notes and photos of the character Elisabetta Pavone, a mantis shrimp and the murder victim of this story. She was a boxer most famous for defeating a world champion fighter crab Nan Tulwa. She then retired and set up a pawnshop in Seaflore City. Her body was found near a hydrothermal vent, and reported dead by third-degree burns and stab wounds. A dinglehopper was found near the scene as a possible murder weapon. Two detectives, Murray the moray eel and Array the stingray, are tasked to solve this case.

Page 2 of a fish-themed illustrated murder mystery by TB (tangentburd). Image features a series of profiles, excerpts, notes and photos of the character Bonnie Skipjack, a bluefin tuna and one of the murder suspects. She is an employee of Pavone's pawnshop, and has been scolded by Pavone often for taking too many bubble pipe breaks. On the day of the murder, she closed the shop after her late shift and claimed to have swum home right after, but did not remember any details as her new bubble pipe made her drowsy. Murray and Array discover that "blue" is a clue left by Pavone before she died, and is a common trait across all the suspects.

Page 3 of a fish-themed illustrated murder mystery by TB (tangentburd). Image features a series of profiles, excerpts, notes and photos of the character Cody Leng, a blue lingcod and one of the murder suspects. He is an employee of Pavone's pawnshop and known to get along well with the city's residents, but has been chastised by Pavone for overpaying for pawned items. He recognised the dinglehopper from the pawnshop's inventory. On the day of the murder, he left his work shift and went for a party at the Lanternfishes' house until late, which serves as his alibi.

Page 4 of a fish-themed illustrated murder mystery by TB (tangentburd). Image features a series of profiles, excerpts, notes and photos of the character Rowano de Sales, a silver arowana and one of the murder suspects. He is Pavone's old friend from their fighter days, and revealed to have both admiration and envy of her past success. On the day of the murder, he visited Pavone's city and invited her to dinner, before she died later that night. His coral bouquet gift for her contains auger shells that match the stab wounds in Pavone's body. Murray and Array meet two anxious garden eels who seem to have something important to tell them.
