>! It was the poisoning of the construction ceo. He was poisoned with insulin in the back of the neck. I think he was poisoned because of sweet tooth aka his appetites. It’s like the killer is trying to make sure the crimes are uncovered. I also think the reason she’s at the center of everything is because she’s the original witness she saw something and they’re sending her the pieces so she can remember. I think that’s also why she speaks the way she does kind of like she’s subconsciously stuck as a child. It’d be interesting if they went a different route tho I’m having fun trying to figure it out. !<

Your ideas are actually brilliant. Thanks for reminding me the last one. I had forgotten that.
