On the 13th of September 1986, Dr. Bell was found dead, alone in his locked study.
The night before, Dr. Lecter had given Bell a tin of an extremely rare tea during one of his famous dinner parties.
Bell had taken it home. And Bell had died after drinking it.
Columbo found that rather odd.

Telling my coworkers about bluesky but they're all just staring at me in confusion. "But bluesky doesn't exist any more... it burned to the ground nearly 100 years ago..." I go to check my phone but there's just sand in my pocket
his one brain cell is entirely focused on stealing his sister's dinner. nothing on earth can stop him. no processing power is wasted on dignity, consequences, or the fact that he was fed twelve seconds ago. he is a specialized supercomputer designed solely for dinner crimes.
Objectively funny that a Kermit-voiced old man with a thick Toronto accent became so important to the manosphere during the 2010s and then basically let his daughter slowly poison him with an all meat diet.
I walked up the mountains. The master welcomed me. They annointed me. And there, I was gifted with illumination. The truth was imprinted upon my eyes.

Honestly, fuck it. Order them to rename it to Trump Strait. Finland is now to be referred to as Zimbabwe whereas Zimbabwe is to be called Montana. The Pacific is now Piss Lake. I want to see how far he can push before the tech overlords say “we’re not calling it that on the app.”

Dr. Lecter smiled.
"I have not given Dr. Bell poisoned tea, if that's your implication."
"No. No, no. Of course not. As we just said, that wouldn't have worked anyway."
"It would not have worked, indeed."
"There is another thing I wanted to ask."
"Go right ahead, detective."
"My colleagues, they say you're somewhat of a scholar as well."
"I do my best."
"I'm told you did research on rare poisons."
"I did not. But as a forensic psychiatrist, I keep up with the field."
"So you know curare?"
"I know curare."
"Would you know how to find curare?"

Columbo found that rather odd.
Colombo looked embarrassed.
"Doctor, I don't know anything about tea."
"Is there anything you'd like to ask?"
"Yes, Doctor. How do you brew tea from the Wuyi Mountains?"
"It's a white tea, so it is brewed quite hot."
"Almost boiling?"
"It is brewed with simmering water, and served immediately"
Columbo shook his head.
"That's a problem, Doctor."
"How is that a problem, detective?"
"Because the guys at the lab say that the poison would have degraded with heat. So even if the tea was poisoned, it couldn't have killed Dr. Bell."

After interviewing the housekeeper, Columbo established a clear timeline.
At 18:30, Bell left for Lecter's home.
At 22:15, he came back with the tea.
At 22:25, he locked himself in his study to taste it.
At 6:35, she called the police, who had to break down the door to find his cold, stiff body.
When asked about the situation, Dr. Lecter was immediately helpful.
“Dr. Lecter, my colleague says you're something of a gentleman."
"I do my best."
"That tea you gave Dr. Bell, they say it's a pretty rare kind."
"A white tea from the Wuyi Mountains."
"It's in China?"
"Yes, it is."

You see, forensics found no poison in the tea. No poison was found in the teapot either.
The poison was only found on the rim of the teacup. A teacup that Dr. Bell had received by mail a few days earlier, along with the full tea set, in a package with no return address.
Besides, forensics determined that the poison used was curare.
They said that it would degraded instantly in a cup of hot tea. They said that even within the few seconds between serving the tea and drinking it, the poison would have been neutralized by the heat.

Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality.

On the 25th of October 2025, Frank Nuñez's neighbour called the police over a suspicious smell coming from his apartment.
He was found decomposed, still sitting in front of his computer, momified in a thick layer of biological material later established to be his own dried semen.
On the computer, a ChatGPT session was still running.
The LLM's last message, apparently unprompted, was still displayed on the screen.
"Are you still there?"
