Back into the GROOVE, we got rolls to make.
Seven attempts to find more commonalities between the killings. [?]: It looks like the throughline is that every single one was stabbed in the chest and shot somewhere in the Catkin, and that no witnesses came forward. It also looks like the first crime scene was a bit of a mess, with a lot more evidence, (found by CSI the one time they actually did their job on block seven). DNA evidence was found, but it didn't match anyone in the criminal DNA database.
Runner Five goes newspaper reading. [9]: It works great. The building is apparently the most recently closed, so most things inside are intact. Including a huge stack of archives, which she manages to sort through. The final edition, from only a week ago(!) mentions that the newspaper is closing due to "unforeseen financial circumstances." However, the rest of the text of the article is heavily coded to indicate exactly what those circumstances really were were. Checking the other articles in previous papers only confirms the suspicion that the paper was heavily critical of the TCPD, often complaining of harassment of its journalists by them. On the other topics, it looks like the Lawn Care shop closed when the owner became victim #10 of the C.L.K, and it looks like the Antiques shop owner suddenly sold it, moved across town, and bought a nightclub late last year, before the C.L.K. became active. There is no mention of a big blonde bearded bald guy, aside from the local weightlifting champion... who was killed two years ago in a hit-and-run.
Scott heads over to the police fortress and investigates. [?] There's Czech Hedgehogs surrounding the parking lot, a tank in it, and some patrol cars. Four buildings, and the place is surrounded with barbed wire. It's unclear exactly what they're expecting that they're so fortified. Maybe it's just a show of force.
