Hi. I'm Richard Conway, if you haven't seen my public ID. I sometimes do detective stuff.

I, in fact, did some detective stuff a while ago with a few associates. Reno, Kuja, if you're there, well. Thanks for your help, but the situation seems terribly unresolved. Typically, I don't name names, but I hardly see the point in hiding it for this matter.

We were commissioned around Halloween to go find out what was going wrong with this house that the client had bought not too long ago. Bottles of wine missing, chills in the air. That sort of thing. I was guessing this was a matter of kids getting in, drinking all of my client's wine, scaring her, and moving all of her stuff and exploiting superstition. After talking her down, my associates and I checked out the downstairs area and found a wall that looked like it was recently bricked over.

After tearing it down, we found a skeletal corpse of a moogle in a jester outfit, surrounded in wine bottles. Turns out ghost stories aren't just fiction in Vaikuntha. The victim seemed to have been killed multiple times over. If it wasn't the fact that he was bricked over and thus suffocated, there was evidence of a stab wound. If it wasn't the stab wound, it would have been the traces of marlbaro sap that laced the inside of the wine bottle.

Usually, my job is to either get myself stuck into a corporate battle of egos or to find lost pets and junk. I'm a tad out of my element when it comes down to magical murder cases.

I think a good place to start is to try to figure out who owned the house before the current inhabitant, dig through real estate logs and maybe talk to the mayor to see if I can't find the history of the place. Any other ideas?
