Rosa TicksThis is the heaviest clue in France, and I am eating a cold croissant at this desk like it's evidence!
Hank LedgerA croissant.

Rosa TicksNobody carries that alone, so allegedly three people had to agree on every single step, and one of them probably said, lift with your knees.
Hank LedgerSo the investigators are looking for three people who all remember a very bad Tuesday. That's roughly the weight of a vending machine, Rosa.
Rosa TicksA vending machine of SURREALISM! And somebody out there owns a van that will never be the same!
