Well, it been a few days, and no new answers, and I can’t figure out the last few clues, so I think I’ll try posting one. As I enter my office, I hear a voice coming from my portable TV. “You really shouldn’t have killed him twice.”, it says. Odd, what is that all about? I see there is a nice couple waiting in the office for me who must have turned on the TV, and I make a point to turn it off before speaking to them. ``` The man is handsome, but he doesn’t seem all that smart to me, while the women’s stance tells me she is a member of the intelligence community, a.k.a. a spy. From the way they stand next to each other, I can tell they really are a couple, and not just faking it. The women seems like she would become hysterical, if not for her training as an agent. She appears to be using her grief in order to persuade me, but it’s not like she isn’t really worried. I see no reason to point out my observations, for if they came to me, they came to me, and there is no need for them to be impressed by me. Leaving all those mostly irrelevant details aside, I find I am being asked to prove the innocence of a man imprisoned for a recent spate of theft and murder. He is currently in jail That seems to be all the details given, but they point out that there are more details on a seemingly blank page on my desk. The ell me that more details are written in white ink, and can be reveled by “running the mouse over them.” What a cryptic, occult phrase to use! Before I can ask any more, or refuse to accept, they plump down a wad of money on my desk and refuse to answer any more details. They didn’t even give me his name. I need to find it out. ``` Poster reference: Occupation: Merchant of death. Interests: Right wing nut type activities 1.Book reference: He is small man, delicate, almost fragile. His patent leather shoes squeaked slightly as he walked. He was dressed formally in a morning coat and striped trousers. His black hair was carefully brushed in the Prussian style. He was smiling, showing a row of shiny, goldfilled teeth, and as he smiled he drew in his breath with a polite, soft sibilant sound." One heck of a give-away clue: His name comes from a hero of a book series and a series of films in the 30s ---

Clue #A: Witnesses refused to tell us anything about the murderer, because they all fell in love with her at first sight. Clue #B: Witnesses report that at the time of the crime, there was a horrible noise, like a crustacean singing. ---

The suspect was seen smoking an illicit substance when fleeing the scene. Somewhat strange that it stayed alight amidst the bad weather. ---

I was thinking of **Kythereia**. I don’t know who **Susan Stohelit** is so I don’t know if she fits the clue. As for the other, another clue: I happened at a restaurant the name of which starts with “Red -------”. Singing was involved.
