I’ve got one, I hope it’s good enough: “The death of the Tooth Fairy was a real mystery. Police said the only thing left at the scene was a note, addressed to the Tooth Fairy: _You don’t exist_.” ---

> [@laina\_f](#): > > Clue: There appear to have been three perpetrators. Evidence indicates that the victim was initially struck twice with a speckled freshwater fish, then bludgened repeatedly with fish of a second species; the third perpetrator used one of the murder weapons to inflict a stab wound, then returned later to inflict a second stab wound. Despite the extra clue that the third perp was Irish, used a scalar weapon, stabbed once and then a second time, no one has yet come up with the answer, which is . . . FinnAgain. ---

Police informants mentioned that the suspect was decidedly non-melodious, and so was subsequently replaced with an expensive piece of jewelry. ---

The “fish scales” thing was a little obscure, I guess, but I don’t know how we all could’ve missed the Finnegan connection. And you are correct about my other clue. The answer indeed is **minty green**. ---
