That's Absurd Please Elaborate25 Touko 2023

Truth or Drown?

In this episode Trace cannot tell a lie (or can he???) while Julian investigates if it's possible to drown a fish. These stories may come in handy if you're plotting a fish murder and want to throw detectives off your trail with a red herring.

QUESTIONS

Julian: "Can fish drown?" from Trace

Trace: "Can we make it impossible to lie?" from Julian
