I thought we wanted the same thing. This memory has been marked as incomplete. Please update the page to include the missing dialogue transcription(s) or choice(s), and then remove this template once done.
Abberline (Det. Murphy):He's a friend of mine. The whole station is out looking for him as we speak. Ironically, he came here on an investigation himself—seems several people have gone missing in this part of town.
Abberline (missing people):We've had reports of missing people over the last few months. Detective Murphy is just the most recent and the only one who's anybody to speak of.
Mrs. Moffat (Det. Murphy):He was in here askin' about missing people. Bought a meat pie, he did. Stayed and chatted for a few minutes, then headed off to the barber.
Mrs. Moffat (missing people):I'm told that some people have gone missing, but I don't know anything about it.
Mrs. Moffat (meat):George delivers meat for my pies. Lovely lad. I pay on delivery. I believe he picks it up from the local butcher shop.
Sodd (Det. Murphy):Yeh, I gave him a trim. He asked no end of questions. When I cut his hair, I notice a tattoo right at the base of his neck. A green Celtic cross, it was.
Sodd (missing people):You're right. Several people have disappeared over the past months. Some of 'em were customers of mine!
Sodd (blood):I'm tryin' to quit drinking. Sometimes my hand shakes when I'm giving a shave.
Sodd (George):George was in here earlier, gettin' a haircut. He wanted to look nice for his girl. He's been seeing Joanna from the flower shop for some time now. Said he's finally saved up enough money to pop the question.
Jeffers (Det. Murphy):He came in asking lots of questions. I believe I answered them to his satisfaction.
Jeffers (missing people):I suppose there are a few people I haven't seen in a while.
Jeffers (George):Why would you want to know about him? Stupid boy. He does deliver tanned leather on occasion, but I really have very little to do with him.
Leatherworking tools – A collection of sharp knives and strong, thick needles. Also several awls, some of which would be used to punch distinctively shaped holes.
Leather scrap – A sheet of leather with a diamond shaped hole in it.
Ledger – A list of pick-ups and drop-offs. The pick-ups are mysterious. The drop-offs are: Meat delivered to bakery; Manure to florist; Leather to Tobias; Leather delivered to leather-worker. The totals show a thriving business—but the "supplier" gets most of the money.
Diary – A diary entry indicating that George is becoming increasingly suspicious concerning his deliveries.
Diary
Now that I have enough set aside to propose to Joanna, I've written to a detective about my suspicions regarding the true source of the products I deliver.
George's body – George is very recently dead. His chest has a puncture wound: a diamond-shaped hole.
The murderer was Tobias Jeffers, who parceled his victims out to nearby shops.
Case Summary
Even a detective can run adrift when a nefarious business is afoot! Was Detective Murphy getting too close to a secret source of "raw goods"? A leatherworker was in the habit of doing away with local folk, flaying them, and then chopping them up! He had the skin tanned for leather, the bones ground up to sell as manure, and the bloody flesh sold to supply pie-shops with cheap meat, all delivered by the unwitting carter, George. Thus did the fiend take macabre pleasure in seeing his victims happily consumed by the citizens of Fleet Street! – Henry Raymond
The memory as a whole is a reference to the 1979 musical Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, with characters similar to people in the stage show, most clearly Feeney Sodd and Mrs. Moffat.
