About the Case
The Murder of Madame Ruby at the Carnival of Chaos
When The Shadow Brothers' Carnival of Chaos rolled into Valley Falls, everyone was excited. That excitement turned to terror, however, when Madame Ruby, the carnival's resident fortune teller, was found murdered. Someone had bashed her skull in with her own crystal ball. Shouldn't she have seen this coming? Too soon?
You're right. This isn't a laughing matter. A murderer is running loose. Normally, that sort of thing isn't our problem. We deal more with the ghost left behind than the living perpetrator of a crime. This case is a little different.
It seems that the carnival has a few ghosts of its own that were speaking to Madame Ruby before her death. They've been haunting the midway and leaving messages about the identity of the killer. The Will Street Detective Agency is working on the living aspects of the case, and they asked us to consult on the paranormal aspects.
When we investigated the carnival, we found quite a few interesting things. Some of them we posted here as a sort of archive for the case.

We weren't sure what to do with this, but Anna felt drawn to it.

Maybe this can be used somehow with the astrology card we found.
Need to Know
Brought to you by Mikey the Skeptic
I don't believe in most of this. I'm here to be the voice of reason. But there is something about this case I can't figure out. It has to do with the Lucky Duck game.
Whenever I get near that booth, a weird email pops up on my phone from 'Unknown Sender.' The message says this:
"If you're in the US, give me a call. If you are outside the US, just open the attachment using the ducks."
It's weird because I can delete the email, but whenever I'm near the Duck game the email comes back. The attachment is below.
