Sure you are. You're already too drunk to see straight, and your conscience is dragging up visions of recently murdered villagers... it is more than a little suspicious, mon ami.

As an aside, I've enjoyed how everyone has sort of made the story their own, adding to it and fleshing it out even more... brilliant work, vovan.

I'm using Opera, the peculiar thing is that when I select "Jon Miller" or "Jamski", it returns to normal.

Sorry, Zopperoni. I messed up the tags... It works fine on IE, but the tags are messed up nonetheless. When I get the Mafia's orders and post the kill, I'll make sure to fix 'em.

In the evening, Osweld decided to stop by Skanky's pub. He had finally found himself a nice place to live, and spent the past two days there, mostly never leaving anywhere, unpacking his stuff, and setting up the laboratory in the basement. His new house is conveniently located, not far from the village center, and yet not too close to the shops and the houses, so that noone would bother Osweld much, and hopefully he shouldn't bother others much either.
At any rate, Osweld was shocked by the recent happenings in the village, and decided to stop by Skanky's bar to ask if a death each night was the local norm, or maybe if this was going to stop some time soon. Quite frankly, he already was starting to feel bored in addition to that. After the execution of Spiffor on the main square, Osweld felt fairly safe, sure of the fact that inspector Hercules knew what he was doing. But in the past two days, noone had come to visit Osweld, and now he felt bored and a little sad. So, he ended up at the bar.
Osweld asked for some ale for starters and as he was sipping it, chatted with the pub owner about the life in the village and the villagers themselves. Skanky was friendly, but still rather distant. He felt that the arrival of Osweld to the village wasn't going to lead to any good. It wasn't only the natural animosity towards strangers in small communities, but also Osweld's occupation. Skanky was a bit superstitious and felt like Osweld was a something of a warlock.
Just as Osweld was finishing up his first portion of ale, he saw a couple walk into the bar. He asked Skanky who they were, and the barman replied that it was Kassiopeia and HongHu, and that they weren't really a couple, just worked together. Somehow, Skanky seemed to stress this point, so Osweld decided not to press on for more gossip about the two. He did quite like the seamstress however, and decided it would be best to make friends with her sooner rather than later. To put this plan to action, Osweld waited till Kassiopeia abandoned his partner in favour of the company of rah, CapitanGarlic, alva, and ADG, for a game of poker, sat down at HongHu's table, and offered her a drink.
The conversation got off to a good start, and soon HongHu and Osweld were chatting like high-school friends. Some time later, GenghisFarb joined them, as well. He was a well-educated man, and was also quite curious about the things Osweld was able to do in his experiments. He was eager to learn everything there was about Osweld's occupation, and his mind worked quickly, grasping the details rather easily despite the amount of alcohol he had already consumed. Unlike GenghisFarb, HongHu wasn't unaffected. She got drunk quickly and soon felt dizzy and nauseous. Some time later, she felt so bad, she ran off to the restroom, while the two men were talking excitedly.
In fact, GhengisFarb and Osweld were so consumed by the conversation, it was almost two hours until they noticed that HongHu was gone, and started worrying. They saw the four poker players, including Kassiopeia, leave, and the farmer said it was odd for the tailor to leave without HongHu, and so it would be good to find her, especially seeing the latest happenings in the village. Just as GhengisFarb said that, the two men heard a scream, and saw Jonny run out of the bathroom with eyes as large as saucers.
Jonny had had a lot of ale that evening. The kills had a strong effect on him and he was greatly depressed. So, he tried to drown his sorrow at the pub. And he had succeeded. The ale was good for him, and after a while his mood improved and he was already chatting merrily with Skanky. That's when he felt the other effect of ale at its fullest strength.
Jonny promptly departed to the men's restroom. As he was standing there, feeling better and better by the moment, he felt his left shoe get wet. Jonny grinned: "I'm so drunk, I can't even hit the mark!" - he thought. The man looked down to fix the aim, and saw what he never expected to see. His urine on the floor was mixing with another liquid. Dark-red and viscous. Jonny's eyes started growing larger. He promptly zipped up the pants, almost hurting himself in the process and turned around.
The door to the cabin behind him was open. Inside was HongHu, on her knees. Her face was submerged in the toilet, full of puke. A stiletto was sticking out of her back.
Apparently, Skanky's booze didn't do her much good, and she rushed to the restroom, not even looking, whether it was a ladies' bathroom, and produced the dinner, together with the alcohol, into the toilet. That's when the murderer crept up from behind and hit the seamstress in the back with a stiletto. It went in right between the ribs, just to the left of the spine, and must have pierced the lung.

Interesting... Kassi played poker with rah, ADG, alva, and CaptainGarlic; then Ghengis and Osweld noticed the four poker players leave, INCLUDING Kassi.
Now, I'm not one to tell the police how to do their job, but I think Herc's first line of business is to figure out which of the poker players was missing.
I think picking up that trail of clues would lead to an inevitable conclusion:
the killer is Jamski.

"What! Honghu!" , Hercules was incredulous.
He had enjoyed the BBQ (though some of the cooked meat was a bit strange) and he also got chatting to lots of folk. The murder of Spiffor though, meant he had an extra job load. With the effects of the Grog Gold, he also kept a close watch( well triple vision watch) on Jamski who was quite animated talking to thin air.
Hercules visits scene of crime and rushes to next cubicle to throw up. He wasn't sure whether it was the strange meat, the grog or the sight of badly cooked chow mein, that Honghu eh vomited. Somebody musn't have been paying her enough to cook a meal for herself properly.
Hercules thought over who had been at the BBQ and from chatting to Skanky who had been in the bar.
There are immediately two prime suspects:
Kassiopeia and Frozzy.
Kass because he left without asking about Honghu ( Because he knew possibly?)
and Frozzy because he stayed away from the BBQ and the pub. Now who else wasn't at either event.
