Oh no! The local coroner, Dr. Dedman,
has been murdered by notorious serial
killer, the Sideroad Slasher. With a body
count quickly building, will Agent 008 be
able to solve the crime before another
victim is taken?

1:30 – Agent 008 enters the coroner’s office, hoping that Dr. Dedman might
have some new information about the Sideroad Slasher’s latest victim.

1:50-Leaving for HQ, Agent 008 chats with Ajax Boraxo and Dr. Quincy before
saying a quick word to Sergeant Foust on his way out, writing his initials next
to the time.

5:05-Signing in once more, Agent 008 returns from HQ, reflecting on what was
found about the calculator. Walking to the coroner’s office, he realizes that
something seems off. Entering, 008 find Dr. Dedman dead! The Agent hits
the security buzzer as he grabs the thermometer and checks the doctor’s
body temperature: 27°C. Foust claims he spoke to the doctor and hour ago.

6:05-Agent 008 and the security officers spend the next hour looking for clues
that the killer may have left behind, more specifically, the doctor’s tape
recorder used for observations. He notices the thermometer was still left in
the doctor’s side, and checks the temperature again: 24°C. Perhaps using
this data and the sign-in sheet, Agent 008 can identify the killer.

Based on Agent 008’s
observations and Foust’s
statement, the first
assumed suspects are:
Pierce Slaughter, Gashes
Wound, Slippery Eel, Candy
Carcass, and Milly
Maniacal. All were present
around the estimated time
of death.
To find the time of death, we
will use the equation
y=kmx+b.
Keep in mind that the room was
17°C, and that is the coldest the
body could get.





y: given temperature of the body’s
surroundings.
k: relative temperature of the body
compared to it’s surroundings
m: sharpness of the slope that the
temperature travels along.
x: time
b: the asymptote (coldest temperature
body could get: 17°C)
We’ll begin by using the points from our graph.
(0,27)
y=kmx+17
27=km0+17
10=k
(1,24)
y=10mx+17
24=10m1+17
7=10m
.7=m
Then we’ll use the points we found and
solve for “x”, using 37(our body temperature
alive) for “y”.
37=10(.7)x+17
20=10(.7)x
2=.7x
log2=xlog.7
.301= -.155x
-1.94=x
So, this means that Dr. Dedman was killed
1 hours and 56 mins ago!
Dr. Dedman was killed at 3:09
 None of our previous suspects
were there at the time, in fact,
no one was that had signed
in…
…except for Foust!


Foust had motive, and timing.
He works at the office all day,
and even Agent 008 noted
that he too would go crazy if
he sat behind a desk all day.
