Poison depends. People have been getting stuff from home, so maybe they got it there. Or they went to the garden and they've been trying to extract poisonous plants and we haven't really been noticing. If it's premeditated enough, it's not impossible.

[he listens thoughtfully to that, before nodding quietly]
.... probably. We can look around. I think it's better if we just start comparing notes on stuff like that. There's a lot of theories... so it's easier if we just start knowing what other people are up to.

Like if someone was able to get away with it the first time, so they got a reward, and then that reward was just for another murder?
