Death at Novagen

Jonathan Reeves, CEO of Novagen Therapeutics, was found collapsed beside his desk at 21:35 on 17 October. Initial forensics indicate poisoning, with a likely administration window of 20:40-21:10.

A half-full whisky tumbler remains on the desk. The decanter sits separately. There was no forced entry; the office door was unlocked.

Your mandate

• Work as two detectives: one interviews, one works the ARKIV terminal. Switch roles between rounds.
• Three rounds: crime scene, fieldwork, then formal interviews.
• You have three formal summonses in round 3. Name a concrete contradiction before using one.
• To close the case, name one murderer with a motive and two concrete pieces of evidence. You get one accusation.

ARKIV rules

Ask one concrete question at a time. Include person, place, and time. Some laboratory data becomes available in round 2. A missing record can be evidence too.
