“What’s the situation, Inspector?” Spacedawg asked as they crossed the threshold into the judge’s study, where the air was thick with tension.
“Judge Beauchamp was found dead in his home this morning,” Lachapelle explained, leading them to a room where the judge’s body lay. “Preliminary findings suggest foul play, and given the timing, it’s not just a simple murder.”

The revelation added another layer of complexity to the case. Spacedawg turned to Lachapelle, “Any leads on who might be behind this?”
