[9]: Holy crap, lucky! Clara dropped her phone when she sped off. You scroll through call history, and find a message, dated to the morning of the day before you arrived. Apparently she's not good about clearing out her inbox. The speech to text is worthless, but the recording itself proves fruitful...
"Hey, this is C. Just calling to remind you the consultants are showing up tomorrow. Try to keep them guessing, don't be too helpful. As far as they know, you know nothing. As much fun as it is to hold the whole thing a couple weeks ago over your head, I'm glad we're friends here. Sorry again about the CSI guy. I had to do it, you understand, I'm sure. Anyway, got a body over here, so you can find it whenever, and then I've got to head off. Work, right? Welcome the new fourth member of our group when you get the chance, the construction guy. Bye."
It's distorted in much the same way as the other, so the caller can't be identified, but it's from the same number that called Romero.
Meanwhile, everyone does a records search and uncovers...
[Autosuccess By Volume of searchers]: Clara isn't in block 7 at night most nights. She's sometimes there, but not often enough to be there every morning to kill someone. The last time there was a heavy police presence was after the first victim, and the presence almost completely vanished after one of them was killed and they didn't catch the killer.
[Autosuccess]: The two people in the conspiracy who got mentioned? Well, you ask around, look them up, and all that, and eventually some guy says "oh, the conspiracy is stupid, they're just Strickland Semiconductor people. They come around here all the time, looking for people willing to work in their places. Got their warehouse guards from around here. Guess someone tried to sue them or something stupid like that and they left. Shame, I was going to turn in my application next time they came by."
