[Tony's house, morning]
*Tony Turtle is reading the newspaper at his kitchen table. An ad catches his eye: "Temporary Coroner Needed – One Day Only!"*
Tony: How hard can it be? I could use the extra cash.
[Coroner office]
[Tony arrives at the coroner's office. He is greeted by Dr. Shellstein, the head coroner.]
Dr. Shellstein: *serious* Tony, thanks for coming in. We’ve got a case that needs immediate attention. Three shrimps, murdered and decapitated. The killer goes by the alias "Mister Muncher."
Tony: *suprised* Sounds intense. But I'm ready.
[Morgue]
[Tony stands over the examination table with the three shrimp bodies, taking notes and examining the evidence.]
Tony: Hmm, clean cuts on the heads. Whoever did this knew what they were doing.
[He finds a small piece of cloth near one of the bodies.]
Tony: Interesting. This might be a clue.
[Police station, afternoon]
[Tony takes the cloth to the police station to have it analyzed. He meets Detective Krabson.]
Detective Krabson: What do you have for me, Tony?
Tony: *handing over the cloth* Found this near the victims. Think you can get anything off it?
Detective Krabson: *inspecting the cloth* I’ll run it through our lab. Sit tight.
[Police station, later afternoon]
[Detective Krabson returns with results.]
Detective Krabson: Got a hit. The cloth matches the uniform of a worker at the local seafood processing plant.
Tony: Let's pay them a visit.
[Seafood Processing Plant, midnight]
[Tony and Detective Krabson arrive at the plant. They enter and speak with the manager, Mr. Clawford.]
Mr. Clawford: How can I help you?
Detective Krabson: *showing the cloth* Recognize this?
Mr. Clawford: That’s our uniform. What’s this about?
Tony: We’re investigating a murder. We need to see your employee records.
[Seafood Processing Plat, record room]
[They search through the records and find an employee with a suspicious background: Larry Lobster.]
Tony: *to Krabson* Larry’s got a history of violence. Let’s find him.
[Seafood Processing Plat, loading dock
[They spot Larry Lobster loading crates onto a truck. Tony approaches him carefully.]
Tony: *calmly* Larry, we need to ask you some questions.
Larry: Sure, what is it?
Tony: Do you know something about the three shrimp? Or maybe.... about Mr. Muncher
Larry: I don't know anything about him
Tony: Are you sure? Im pretty sure he worked here
Larry: Just because i had a criminal history, dosen't mean i have to do with the three shrimp!
Detective Krabson: If it's not you... then... who else?
Tony: Maybe we should inspect DNA on the cloth...
Detective Krabson: Godd idea... tell Shellstein
Tony: Aight
[Doctor's room]
[Shellstein analyzes the tracks and DNA on the cloth]
Dr. Shellstein: It seems that the dna on the cloth is matching to someone
Tony: Who could that be?
Dr. Shellstein: Given by the results, the dna matches halfly to Rob Prawns, an economist from seaweed village with a Cajun descent.
Tony: Is it given where he lives?
Dr. Shellstein: It says on the result that he lives in 589 Krill Street, Crustacean County.
Tony: Looks like we have a culprit...
[Crustacean County, afternoon]
[Tony and Detective Krabson drive to the exact address. They knock to the house, only to be greet by Rob Prawns's wife, Julie Prawns]
Julie: Hello, what happened?
Tony: Do you know where your husband, Rob, is?
Julie: He went to work to Kelps Cargo, why you asking?
Tony: Well, you see, your husband might be the notorious Mr. Muncher.
Julie: Oh no!
Detective Krabson: Yes, unfortunately. Well, anyways, goodbye
[Detective Krabson and Tony enter their car and drive to Kelps Cargo]
[Kelps Cargo, afternoon]
[Tony and Detective Krabson drive by the cargo, enter the building, and go ask to Dylan Claws]
Tony: Do you know where Mr. Prawns is?
Dylan: He is in the restroom
Tony: Thanks
[Tony and Detective Krabson go to the restroom and knock on one of the doors, while Dylan is confused]
Tony: knock, knock, who's this
Rob: uhh... Bill?
Dylan: Bill dosen't work anymore
Rob: You fucking snitch...
[Rob opens the door, quickly drew his gun and first shoot at Dylan straight to head. Then Tony tackles him, causing Rob's gun to fire at Detective Krabson's leg, injuring him. Tony then apprehends Rob and puts handcuffs on him.]
[Police station, interrogation room, night]
*Rob sits down, unfazed*
Detective Krabson: spill the beans, your in thin ice!
Rob: Fine, i did kill the 3 naughty shrimps, but thats not the thing i did, heck, thats not the first victims i did!
Detective Krabson: Who else did you kill? Excluding Dylan....
Rob: Uhh... Maybe 10, 5, 15, 35, i don't really know...
Detective Krabson: Let the cat out of the bag or we'll use a tazer!
Rob: Fine, ill call it a 50... mostly children... a 45 of them...
Detective Krabson: Alright, you're going to jail!
Rob: Suck my balls, lardass!
[Coroner's Office, next day]
[Tony returns to the coroner’s office, where Dr. Shellstein is waiting.]

Tony: *smiles* Thanks, Doc. It was an experience, that’s for sure.
[Tony's house, night]
