Well Small Change got rained on with his own .38/and nobody flinched down by the arcade

Tom Waits “Small Change” Small Change

Benoit Blanc was on the tail of the murderers (however many there were) when a lone knock was heard on his apartment door. He opened it with one hand while reaching for his pistol with the other. But instead of being in his pocket, he saw it in the hands of his assassin, staring him in the face.

Nate is dead. He was a Regular Tenant (Vanilla Town). His clues were “WALKED” and “ROOF”.

James Shin Hoo, back from a day of giving people food poisoning, on purpose or not, settled into his apartment when he notices a box with a sign on it. “For Mr. Hoo: Three Cases of Chocolate”. How sweet.

The sound of the explosion put the other tenants in an uproar, and when they arrived at room 4C there was little to be done.

Josephus is dead. He was James Shin Hoo (Cursemaker Wolf). His clues were “MOONLIGHT” and “”BEAUTY”.

The lawyer arrives with a letter, “To be opened in the case of” etc, etc. He unseals it immediately.

“I understand James Shin Hoo bore me a grudge, and have no doubt his paper insoles would have flown off the shelves. I, the now late Sam Westing, believe him capable of bumping off fellow heirs for the sake of a larger cut of my estate. But he did not murder me.”

You contemplate how many tenants are left, while somewhere just out of earshot, a a fuse was lit.
