Any of the permanently deceased will be in one of the morgues.

[howdull]

Obviously. I asked for someone freshly deceased.

[perfero]

That's where they go.

Unless you're talking about the temporarily deceased, but they obviously aren't deceased anymore. Or corpses.

[howdull]

A recent corpse who is no longer a corpse will do.

[perfero]

Volunteers, then. Why?

[howdull]

To examine, of course. All the evidence I need is on those bodies, some is bound to remain even if they live again.

[perfero]

What evidence are you looking for?

[howdull]

Impossible to tell without seeing the bodies. Each one will doubtless have their own story to tell.

[perfero]

Then I can only hope you manage to get access to them.

[Willingly or otherwise.]

And that if you find something worthwhile you decide to share with the rest of us.

[howdull]

Why wouldn't I share it? I'm a consulting detective, I solve mysteries for the idiots who lack the brainpower to do it themselves.

[perfero]

I think some people here are the type to keep information to themselves.

Do you work with the police, then? Or do regular people hire you?

[howdull]

Both.

I have a website that's very popular, people bring me cases on there.

[Shush, the Science of Deduction is so much more popular than John's silly blog.]

[perfero]

I haven't heard of a detective using a website before. What's your success rate?

[howdull]

Exceptional.

[He can't say perfect, because even he fails sometimes.]

I'm the best in the world at what I do.

[perfero]

How do you know that?

[howdull]

I'm the only one.

[perfero]

I suppose you've investigated that?

[howdull]

I invented the position, there are no others as good at doing what I do to be hired in the same way.

[perfero]

What makes you different from a private detective?

[howdull]

I work with the police.

[perfero]

I thought regular private detectives would do the same.

[howdull]

Then you obviously know nothing about the private detective industry.

[perfero]

I have no experience with it whatsoever.

[howdull]

Private detectives work inside the law but not in conjunction with the police department. They are an alternative for those who feel the police will not handle the case correctly, or who have cases that fall outside police guidelines - such as adulterous partners.

[perfero]

I see. Does working with the police make your job easier or more difficult?
