Paul from Records was able to pull the ledger from McLean's shop from LEO evidence. Started making a list and checking it twice. Has a whole list of purchases, injuries, and donations. I think I may have found us homework for today.

I am so very sorry. But also potentially helpful? What do you say? Divide and conquer?

Previously on cases updates

Case Charlie Tango 26

+ Spinnet, O'Brian, & Ghezzi get a lead on Caulk and catch him and a few minions which gives the team a lead on a Ergot/drug deal happening on Friday night. Wilkes is expected to be there.
+ Case insights: Wilkes is connected/working for the Chicago mob syndicate (Elwood Family) who have been dealing in bonedust and more recently Ergot. Behind the scenes, Brigid Playfer is connected to this family, although the department has not yet figured this out. The Chicago crime syndicate were the people who helped Wilkes hide in the United States. There is a sale of Ergot (and other substances) going down on Friday night which was given up by Jaxson Jay Caulk.

Case Delta Oscar 71

+ Case insights: Regan and Regina are sisters. Reagan is a known accomplice to Wilkes. Wilkes is now suspected to be deal in Ergot on behalf of the Elwood family. The hit at the newspaper party was a test. They are certainly looking to go wider and cause more trouble.

Case Hotel Sierra 103

+ A new Wizpix threat, making it the third.
+ On Wednesday the Riveras will get a more specific threat about the ball

Secret Snowflake

+ Mistletoe -- the team tries to figure it out, but doesn't quite get there?
+ Spiked cream and sugar -- trying to put the pieces together
+ On Monday, Ben and Grant went out to Long Island to investigate the case of Thomas McLean an artifacts collector who has been missing. The store gets exploded. They do bring back some pretty cool cursed knives.
+ Missing connections -- music box, good luck charm, and wishing star
