Bureau opening brief
Brask, Teodor. 54. Broth and dumplings, stall C16, Row C, Vesper Market, nineteen years. Cash only. Found by the night warden at 1:20 on a Saturday morning, four years ago, in the cellar under his own stall. Dr. Bell: a fall of about ten feet onto stone, death within minutes. Window 10:30 PM to 1:00 AM. The original team worked it as a robbery after the last entry in his book and charged nobody. His book and his phone went home with his effects, and the phone was locked. His daughter kept both in a drawer and brought them in this year. The lab has opened the phone and gone through the book. The cash box was counted at the scene, to the cent. That count stands. Three names. -V
