It appears to be a cooperative agreement between Kahn Corporation and other companies concerning "Element T" conversion and extraction technology.
The agreement was still in its drafting phase, evident by the lack of completed clauses and an official company seal.
Strangely, instead of completed clauses, there is a picture of a light blue, four-petal flower. It's unknown what it means.
Some excerpts are as follows:
Both parties agree on the principle of good faith and mutual benefit and intend to cooperate on the development of Party A's industrial projects:
1. Party A shall provide product details and a settlement price to Party B in time;
2. Party A shall provide sufficient raw materials of "Element T" to ensure that Party B can conduct relevant research independently;
3. During the initial stages, Party A shall bear all research expenses;
4. While this agreement is valid, Party A will arrange personnel to work at Party B's company to assist and take charge of relevant work to ensure that the agreed cooperation is carried out without interruption;
...

Found in a suite belonging to Kahn Corporation, this academic research information contains the related lab data pertaining to the effects of "Element T" on the human body.
(P.S. The document is so long that D.A.V.I.S. has already selected the most important part for Miss to analyze. Please read it.)
Compound Element Code: T
Compound Definition: A solid chemical concentrate is formed after the extract from high-purity Bakerlon crystals is put through concentration and purification multiple times.
Applications: Widely used in biochemical pharmaceuticals, biological engineering, inorganic new materials, and other fields in Bakerlon.
Compound Effects: After multiple experiments, Element T has been proven to promote cell differentiation and affect the physiological function of mammals (refer to index for experimental data).

Today's experiments were all failures. The extraction technique is not yet mature or stable. I have to be more careful.
What can be done to increase the success rate? How troublesome.

The Element T conversion experiment was a success today!

But... energy leakage during the refining process cannot be eliminated.
I met a new lab technician, and we had lunch together.
I always return home with a headache. Perhaps long-term exposure to the energy leakage has impacted my body somehow.
XX/XX/20XX Cloudy
Element T is far too unstable. How can I ensure its long-term independent existence, like other stable substances?
I guess so-called "scientists" are always trying to go against nature.
PS: A lab technician talked to me today. He was surprisingly funny.
XX/XX/20XX Rainy
It's raining hard today, but that hasn't dampened my mood.
I rarely feel this way about someone. Is this what love feels like?
Perhaps love comes at a bad time, or maybe love is always unreasonable.

*sigh* The rainy season in Bakerlon has always been annoying.
But I received a red poppy from him when I was about to head home. Its vibrant color cheers me up.
But... why is it a red poppy and not a red rose?

He purchased "Shelley, The Poems of Percy Bysshe" at the bookstore.
I don't usually read poems, but flipping through the pages, I found them to be quite intriguing.
"Blossoms which were the joys that fell,
And leaves, the hopes that yet remain."
...
Poets are always so sentimental.

I seem to have made a mistake, or perhaps the mistake is the experiment itself.
I underestimated the influence of Element T. The damage it does to biological cells may be irreversible. If it continues...
XX/XX/20XX Overcast
I'm in a terrible mood. I can't make up for my mistake.
Once things start, I'm powerless to stop them alone, but I... was Pandora who opened the box.

An undercover policeman contacted me and promised to offer me assistance. That's great! The heavens haven't forsaken me.
It came as a surprise... The person who has always been paying attention to me and comforting me was actually him.
He might have been sent by God to meet me.
XX/XX/20XX Overcast
Strange... We agreed to exchange data today. Why hasn't he shown up?
Should I go to the police directly? Or wait for him...
A long time has passed, and he still hasn't shown up. I hope nothing bad has happened to him...

Kahn Corporation has been keeping close tabs on me. Even my personal life has been affected.
I have to think of a way to get rid of them, or I can't hand those things over...
I must put an end to this, to Kahn Corporation...

Oh no, Ernst has found me! I might not be able to escape, forgive me...

(This is the final experimental log.)

Someone must have dropped this piece of paper, which was found on the carpet of a luxury suite.
A few lines of a poem can be read:

Blossoms which were the joys that fell,
And leaves, the hopes that yet remain.

Memories that make the heart a tomb,
Regrets which glide through the spirit's gloom,
And with ghastly whispers tell
That joy, once lost, is pain.

Six customers suffered from varying degrees of abdominal pain and diarrhea after consuming Seafood Tofu Soup. After one day of treatment at the hospital, four almost completely recovered. All six individuals completely recovered in two days. None of the customers were hospitalized.

The doctor recommended an optional one-day rest.

Location: Penny's Comfort Foods, Kensington Lane, Central Business District

Cause of Incident: The spring water used for the restaurant's Seafood Tofu Soup was contaminated with insecticide powder.

Incident Type: Food poisoning due to poor management.

Theory 1

Insecticide 330 is the toxic substance mixed into the Seafood Tofu Soup. Therefore, this is clearly a criminal case and not a food poisoning case.

A receipt found beneath the cabinet that seemed to have been swept in there by accident.

The item purchased was Insecticide 330, an insecticide that is toxic to the human body.

The receipt shows that it was purchased on the Thursday of the same week of the incident, which would be exactly the day before the day of the incident. The identity of the purchaser is unclear. Maybe the payment info holds the key to reveal that piece of information.

Theory 1

Judging by fingerprints and the payment account, Pedro must be the one who purchased Insecticide 330.

Pedro came to the restaurant, attempting to sell DeliCart's premium services to Vernon. He admitted that he would reach his sales target if Vernon signed up for the premium services.

Theory 1

Pedro needed to make large sales to reach his target. When his hard sell to Vernon failed, he had every reason to force Vernon's hand via the extreme methods commonly utilized by DeliCart.

The surveillance video retrieved from the CCTV camera's memory card.

It shows Pedro entering the restaurant at 07:28 and leaving at 07:43. However, it does not show Pedro actually committing the crime.

Theory 1

When Pedro came to the restaurant, it was vacant and the spring water had already been delivered. Pedro had ample time to tamper with the dispenser and water.

Test Item: Wine Chocolates

Test Results: Contain small doses of low-purity tetrodotoxin. After consumption, the toxin has an incubation period of up to three hours.

Fingerprints: Three sets of fingerprints were collected on the chocolates and the packaging. They have been identified as belonging to Estelle Marino, Jen Mendoza, and Marius von Hagen.

Theory 1:

Taking into account Tetrodotoxin's incubation period and the time Estelle ate the chocolate during the banquet, the possibility of Marius being the one who poisoned the chocolates cannot be eliminated.

1. Estelle had three secretaries, but Jen is currently the only one remaining. Jen is primarily responsible for managing Estelle's business affairs, and enjoys a generous salary.

2. Jen is allergic to chocolate.

3. As the hotel was fully booked, on the night of the crime, Estelle and Jen stayed on the 18th and 17th floors, respectively.

4. Marriage was a serious matter for Estelle. She would never promote such a scandal with Marius.

5. Estelle ate one piece of chocolate at 19:15. On the night of the crime, only she and Jen were in contact with the chocolates. It's impossible to determine if Marius opened the box of chocolates beforehand.

6. During the banquet, Jen left the venue twice. The first was at approximately 19:30, when Jen brought the chocolates to room 1818 to refrigerate them; she returned at 19:40. The second time was when she suffered an allergic reaction from the chocolate sauce incident; she cleaned up in room 1713 and returned at approximately 20:00.

7. During the banquet, Jen safeguarded Estelle's room card and phone the entire time.

8. On the night of the crime, Jen last saw Estelle when she got off the elevator on the 17th floor at approximately 21:00.

Theory 1:

Judging by the window of time to commit the crime, Jen could not be the one who poisoned the wine.

Victim: Estelle Marino
Time of Death: Friday, 21:00 - 02:00.
Cause of Death: Tetrodoxotin poisoning
Injuries: Nails of the victim are broken. They match the marks left on the connecting door.
Murder Weapon: Wine chocolates, which contain Tetrodotoxin, given by the suspect, Marius von Hagen.
Motives: There was a recent business dispute between the suspect and the victim. The scribbled note left behind by the victim also implicates Marius von Hagen as the prime suspect.

1. Room 1818 and 1713, where Estelle and Jen stayed, were booked under their company's name. Room 1817, where Janus stayed, were booked under Jen's own name.

2. Room 1718 and the adjacent 1717 on the 17th floor remained vacant throughout.

3. Only rooms on Floor 18 to 30 have connecting doors. They are to be removed during a renovation scheduled next month.

4. There are two keys to the connecting door between Room 1818 and 1817. One was kept at the security station and the other was taken by Janus. Janus also took the key to the connecting door between Room 1817 and 1816. He claimed it was done to prevent being harassed by his fans.

5. The hotel delivered a bottle of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti to Room 1818 on the night of the crime.

1. Jen ran into Janus in Room 1818 when she went to put the chocolates into the room's refrigerator. She later threw the bottle of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti in the hotel's bin bag.

2. Jen is a fan of Janus' and would love to see Janus happy.

3. Janus and Estelle were married, but their marriage was kept a secret due to Janus being a celebrity.

4. For the past 6 months, Janus showed signs of mental instability because Estelle had been forcing him to reveal their marital status.

5. Estelle even went as far as hiring the paparazzi to take photos of them together, which escalated the tension between the couple, adding to Janus' pressure. This may have led to his eventual decision to murder Estelle.

1. The chocolate stains found on the gloves have been identified to be from the same chocolates that Estelle had eaten.
2. The gloves have been tested positive for Tetrodotoxin.
3. The props master has affirmed that the pair of gloves belonging to Janus and that they went missing when Janus took his leave.

Victim: Gordon Grant

Time of Death: 11:50 AM

Cause of Death: Lethal reaction (myocardial infarction) caused by the drug. After comparing the dose found inside the victim's body with the remaining amount of the drug discarded by Harry Grant, it is highly likely that the drug came from Harry Grant.

Motives: The suspect, Harry Grant, had a fight with Gordon Grant over the family's financial assets, which may have caused this crime of passion.

The drug was found in the public bin.

The white tablets are non-toxic or hazardous.

However, the drug can potentially trigger lethal reactions in cardiac patients. It is also not a prescription drug, which makes it easy to obtain.

After purification, the dose to trigger lethal reactions is about half a tablet. Judging by the dose found inside the victim's body, the victim had ingested one tablet of the purified drug.

Theory 1:

In addition to Harry, Fannie, who's in charge of Joey's medicine, also had the opportunity to commit the crime. Joanne is also aware of the cautions of Gordon's condition.

1. Possibly due to Joey being mentally challenged, Gordon did not remarry Joanne and their relationship also took a hit. Joanne's current position in the family is mostly founded upon her capabilities in work, not her relationship with Gordon.

2. Fannie started preparing Gordon's medicine at 10:00 AM. She witnessed Harry attempting to tamper with the medicine at 10:40, and she stopped Harry from doing it; however, a tablet may have dropped into the medicine by accident.

3. Fannie blames herself for not preparing a new batch of medicine for Gordon.

4. Gordon had the intention of firing Fannie.

5. Joanne went into the kitchen at 11:40 AM to fetch the medicine for Gordon and got burned.

6. In the morning, Harry entered the kitchen twice while Joanne entered it once.

Joey has congenital deficiencies in the brain, which caused her to be underdeveloped both physically and mentally when comparing to other children of her age.

Recently, Joey has developed signs of taste deterioration, which is also an irreversible defect that cannot be cured, just like her mental issues.

This month, The doctor has prescribed more than double her usual dose of medicine.

1. Only Gordon's fingerprints were found on the bottle.

2. The drug has a complex composition and has been determined to inhibit the normal development of the human body, and has certain anti-aging effects.

3. The drug has severe side effects and can cause brain damage over time, especially in children.

4. The exact composition of the drug is unknown. Further testing is required to learn about its precise pharmacological properties.

This encrypted notebook was owned by Gordon Grant that keeps a record of a certain kind of experimental anti-aging drug.

According to the records, the test subject showed signs of slow brain development and taste deterioration, just like Joey. Based on that, it's likely that the test subject was Joey.

Judging by the fingerprints found on the lock and the cover, Joanne has read this notebook.

Case Background:

Lester Auction House has been involved in an auction item-swapping scandal and is on the verge of bankruptcy. Desperate to resolve the crisis, Lawrence, the owner, demanded Van Kerrel take full responsibility.

Details:

On the evening of November 12th, Lawrence came to Van Kerrel's residence to discuss the handling of the situation. During the course of the discussion, Van Kerrel became suicidal due to his suffering from depression. He acquired the help of Lawrence in an attempt to quell the storm.

Combining the police's findings and the coroner's report, it is believed that Lawrence assisted in the victim's suicide by strangling the victim to death on the couch with his tie.

The nature of the case should, therefore, be that of an assisted suicide rather than a murder.

Victim: Van Kerrel

Time of Death: 18:00 - 24:00, Nov 12th, last year

Cause of Death: Mechanical asphyxia. Judging by the strangulation marks around the victim's neck, he was strangled to death with a strap or band from behind.

Scratch marks were found on the couch where the victim was killed, presumably caused by the victim while enduring the pain of suffocation.

The victim showed no sign of resistance, and there was no sign of a struggle at the crime scene. Based on the fact that the victim was suffering from depression and mental instability, it is presumed that the victim acquired outside help in his own suicide.

Theory 1:

If Johnny was the killer, then that would explain why Van did not try to resist. Van might have known Johnny's true identity.

1. The file only contains Bob's photo. There are no photos of his wife or son.

2. Bob set fire to his house on Jan 7th last year, which happened to be the 29th birthday of his son.

3. Bobby was the only member of the family that survived the fire, but due to the severe burns, his life is in immediate danger.

4. Bobby is an editor of an art magazine.

1. Johnny is 30 years old and is living in Stellis. His birthday is January 7.

2. Johnny had been working for HomeCare Household Services since he graduated from a vocational school at the age of 21. He resigned in January last year.

3. He started a job at Bliss&Bless Household Services in March last year. Johnny was then hired by Lawrence to take care of Van.

4. Both of Johnny's parents passed away due to illness.

Theory 1:

Bob had been looking for his lost son all these years and contacted the clinic that provides paternity tests. Johnny and Bobby, Bob's son, were born on the same day and also coincided with the baby theft happened back then. There is a high possibility that they are twins.
