There would be a detective who possessed the ability to speak with animals. He'd interrogate them and try to bribe them with treats or catnip, perhaps tell them that if they don't fess up they'd all be sent to the veternarian. (less)

“To coax the sweet juices from your bodies most holy anatomy, I will dedicate myself to your whims and pledge myself to your yearning. O' Goddess, 'tis ye I worship.”
Maria Levato, Journey to Rallem

“It looks like the end of the world, in a literal sense. In one unnaturally straight line, everything just ends. The ground, the sky, everything. It makes no sense: the world is round; every world is round.”
Maria Levato, Journey to Rallem
