Seen Through

Yolanda Chantal is the obvious suspect. She catalogued both artifacts last month and published their locations. She's the only fogborn in town who could've slipped through the cracks the storage spaces were built to rely on. The town wants this to be about gnome-goblin politics, which is the kind of trouble a town knows how to hold. It isn't. The thief came in on the fish wagon, has been delivering to the dye works for years, and overheard a wedding being planned at LeFlour's bakery. Marzipan LeFlour investigates because Yolanda is a regular, and LeFlour knows regulars. The crime is theft. The motive is heartbreak. The resolution won't pass through a courtroom.
