Sim Sleuths: A Recipe for Murder (Mystery Game)

Hi everyone, sorry for my late response, my afternoon ended up being busier than I expected! I'll try to reply more quickly in future.

@bluedanube Great detective work! As every sleuth knows, it is very important to be able to invision the crime in the mind's eye. Luckily, Salim Benali remembered where everyone was seated and further discussion with the diners confirmed everyone's seating arrangements.
Below is a (very rough) sketch of the restaurant plan including the seating areas, the kitchen, the bar, the stage, the walkway, and the stairs leading to the restrooms (I apologise for my shoddy handwriting!). I have also included a picture of the Chez Llama layout (from online as I haven't had a chance to get into my game today). If it isn't clear enough please let me know!



@foxybilly I understand and I'm glad you're enjoying the story so far! Don't worry if you don't have time to participate - all clues will be added to the original post and the "big reveal" will be hidden inside a spoiler, so you can still play along afterwards!

@imhappy I'm glad that you get a turn at sleuthing, and thank you again for inspiring the game!

Of course, relationships always seem to play an important role!
- Lilliana (chef) states that she did not know the Fengs or Goths well at all, but they did visit Chez Llama regularly.
- Salim (waiter) also claims to not know either family well but was familiar with Victor Feng's political career. He also states that he is a fan of Mortimer Goth's books, and that he is a huge inspiration to him, although he's never spoken to him apart from to take his order.

@Greyling I'm very happy that you've been able to participate in this one!

Great questions!
- According to Salim, Bella approached him to speak about his writing. She was aware that he was an aspiring author and had invited him to visit the Goths' apartment and talk to her husband.
Bella confirms that she invited Salim to her apartment, and that she thought he may enjoy the opportunity to chat with her husband, who is a famous author.

- Lilliana states that only one order of Pufferfish Nigiri was brought to her that evening, but she wasn't sure who it was for. Salim confirms that he did only take one order for that dish and that it was indeed for Victor Feng, in fact, he adds, that's what he always ordered. Lily Feng and the Goths also state that Victor Feng always ordered the Pufferfish Nigiri when they ate at Chez Llama.

I will be adding the above information to my original post under the clues/notes sections.
