Cold Cases

Police detectives Ray and Rex have solved all the town’s crimes and convinced all the criminals to turn over a new leaf, so the Chief assigns them to some decades-old cold cases. Luckily, they now have a linguistic spectrometer specially calibrated to listen to the testimony of scraps of fabric found at the crime scenes, be they cotton, wool, linen or silk.

The pieces of fabric sing like canaries and name names.
