A villager says he's never heard if Crawdaunt, but it sounds dangerous so he'll stay away. Brad is busy "gathering testimony" from Amanda, Pikachu accusing him of just flirting because she has nothing to do with this case. When asked about Crawdaunt, he again focuses on Waals, saying he must have done it for revenge on Pokmon and humanity in general. Tim says he has no evidence, but he says the truth will be revealed soon enough. I mean, I know that it's probably Louise, as she has motive for wanting Waals gone, but I really want it to be Brad.Talking with Amanda reveals further evidence that Brad has a crush on her. Amanda says he's "friendly and funny", which both Tim and Pikachu are incredulous of. Finally, I make my way back to the board. We get confirmation that no mark exists for the lake, and see a recruitment ad for Timburr Transport. Though they seem to be advertising it more like a gym than a construction company. And we get collection records. 2 Triangle, 1 Square, 3 X, 1 Circle. We decide to go talk to the villagers about their package deliveries last week. The woman in Triangle House did indeed receive 2, and while nothing seemed strange about the delivery itself, she did notice the Timburr were carrying a big wooden box that day. It was confirmed large enough to hold Crawdaunt and was delivered south, in the direction of the bridge. We automatically update the Case Notes. The old man of X House did receive three deliveries--a camera, a tripod, and "whatnot". He says he wants to take pictures of the island's natural beauty before the resort goes up. It's a tourist resort to show off the nature. He's not thrilled about the resort project, either. The man in Square House got one package, a record player, but it was broken on arrival and couldn't be fixed. Louise was there, too, saying he'd need to order replacement parts. Ah, she was helping the chief put stickers on all the boxes! If there was an unrecorded symbol, she could have put it on. Before I can check if Dr. Waals got a lone package, though, we get pulled into a cutscene with Brad telling Louise that Waals is behind this. Brad says that Tim's continued investigation will be of no use, but Louise actually seems to encourage Tim. Odd...is she just confident that Tim won't be able to find enough evidence to convince Brad that his preconceptions were wrong? Or is she legitimately not the culprit? I feel like it's got to be the former; the evidence is all piling up for Louise, while the only evidence towards anyone else is circumstantial (Brad's refusal to consider another suspect besides Waals making him suspicious himself). But Spritzee's scent irritates Manectric's nose, making it sneeze. That's probably going to be important--the same thing will happen at the lake even without Louise present, proving she was there before.

Spritzee seems offended that Manectric didn't like its scent, and Louise says there's no way that the Timburr could've done it, because the chief checks every box himself; Louise was even helping him that day and saw nothing odd. She's surprised that Waals could be the culprit, but admits that she'd heard about his checkered past. Brad takes the Timburr lead as a possibility, but uses it as further evidence to Waals's guilt, and when told that he shouldn't be telling everyone Waals is the culprit without proof, he says it's a police officer's job to remove any doubts from the public. Waals suggests that he was convicted by the media at PCL, too. But he says he wasn't expecting any packages and didn't receive any! So that 1 package to Circle House is suspicious. Milo mentions Louise seeming to be in a good move when she was helping out by the docks, and that he was surprised since she'd been in a foul mood since Waals refused to sell his property. We get a goofy Pikachu interlude, with Pikachu attempting to make Manectric fetch a Frisbee and instead having to fetch his hat.
