“Who do you want me to investigate?”

“Both Mans and my father.  He seems almost like a synthetic.  There’s just something unreal about him.”

“You know my rates.”

“I’ll gladly pay them if you can find out what is going on.”

“Which one should my synthetic approach first?”

“Go for Mans Horvanell first.  If he doesn’t check out as genuine, then go to my father and confirm my suspicions.”

“The clock starts when Mans is investigated.”

“Thank-you.  Before I go, could I finish my pie and coffee?”

Mans had replaced himself in his house with a synthetic.  Since he didn’t have a physoelectrical field like a human, the synthetic knew that he was dealing with a non-human.  When the synthetic left the house to go to see the “father” the synthetic Mans called ahead to where Mans really was.  He was waiting for him with a power ray and a one-way shift to another dimension where he would be disintegrated. 

What Mans wasn’t counting on was that the synthetic would be reporting back to Serdrum visually and audibly.  The investigator witnessed the beheading of his synthetic and the vaporization of the body first and the disintegration of the head up until the eyes dissolved into billions of particles. 

The police seized Mans before he could shift away.  He still looked like the investor he had killed.  He was placed in the city jail to await trial which was swift and sure.  After being convicted of the two murders, the death chamber was activated the next day.  Mans Horvanell was vaporized just as he had vaporized his victims in the dimension he often used to get rid of the bodies of his victims. 

The death chamber was used a handful of times since so few murders occured in Newgate.   But all that were disintegrated deserved the punishment.  Mans Horvanell just happened to be an interdimensional that met his fate after justice was served in the Newgate Municipal Court.
