Didn't you know that the most ruthless assassins ever were fired from various insurance companies for beeing to softhearted?

Hmmmm ... is little Mr. Jellby padding the insurance premiums?

red_phoenix · 12-28-2012, 07:19 PM

It is interesting how Mr. Jellby insists on all "evidence" being disposed of...and isn't it the insurance adjusters job to get out of paying off a policy?

poohbear_nc · 12-28-2012, 07:56 PM

Yes .. why is he "removing" all the evidence? What is he hiding? Who is he working for?

We mustn't put too much into his actions. Remember, Jellby can hardly be considered impartial in this affair.

Let's lock Jekyl, I mean Jellby, in a secure closet and see if the deaths stop occurring. This guy suggested we eat POOH. He deserves to be locked in a closet.

Ooh - could Mr. Jellby have a split personality - one minute a mild mannered annoying lawyer, the next minute a cold blooded serial killer?

Iznogood · 12-28-2012, 08:16 PM

Jellby, although being a likely killer, had no access to dreams' scissors. If he is guilty, he must have an accomplice. Aah, the plot sickens

*giggle* *giggle*

Keep reading - new installment tomorrow!

But wasn't there smoke that was so thick Jellby could have snuck in, stolen the scissors and gotten out again without being seen? No one was expecting him and where busy with other activities. It's not like anyone was keeping an eye on the scissors.

BearMountainBooks · 12-28-2012, 08:49 PM

We also don't have a confirmed murder weapon for the lights. Could have been any sharp object and there are more scissors in the world than Dreams' scissors. I suppose if we find the scissors and there is electrical rubber residue on them, it will point more directly as the murder weapon.

The microwave is a shoe-in for the murder weapon assuming Pooh was stuffed in there.

Don't forget that Mr. Jellby is part of the team as well, so he's also interested in saving some bucks with the insurance (maybe he thinks he could get a complimentary Cybook Odyssey from Alex).

There is also the set of facts I mentioned above that point to a possible red herring about Poohbear nc's untimely demise. One roasted chicken looks much like another so how can we be sure that the, ahem, guest of honor at the dinner table is in fact poohbear nc and not some other chicken? For that matter couldn't a chicken's beak possibly be sharp enough to cut through wires? Hmmm, I wonder.
