Template Blueprint & Architecture

Every branch in this blueprint is expandable into its own sub-canvas, connected through bi-directional [[wiki-links]].

Central Root Idea

Case: The Gilded Moth Murders

Homicide of [[Victim Profile: Harrison Blackwood]]. The investigation centers on the [[Evidence Locker]] and our primary [[Witness & Suspect List]]. Goal: Connect the means ([[Evidence: Rare Poison]]) to a suspect with motive and opportunity.

Pre-Configured Branches & Sub-Canvases (7)

●Victim Profile: Harrison Blackwood

Wealthy, ruthless antiquarian, 72. Found in his locked private study. Known for hostile takeovers of smaller auction houses.

●Timeline of Events

Reconstruct the 24 hours leading up to the murder. Blackwood had a heated argument with [[Suspect: Julian Croft]] at 4 PM. Last seen alive at 9:15 PM.

●Crime Scene Analysis

No forced entry; study locked from inside. A single glass of expensive whiskey on the desk. Cause of Death appears to be [[Evidence: Rare Poison]].

●Evidence Locker

Catalog of all physical and digital evidence. Key items include an [[Evidence: Encrypted Laptop]], toxicology reports, and victim's financials.

●Witness & Suspect List

List of all persons of interest. Key suspects are [[Suspect: Julian Croft]] (rival), [[Suspect: Eleanor Vance]] (disinherited niece), and [[Suspect: "The Alchemist"]] (mysterious supplier).

●Motive Theories

Primary: Financial gain via inheritance. Secondary: Professional revenge. Tertiary: A deal for a rare artifact gone wrong.

●Investigative Leads

1. Decrypt victim's laptop to identify "The Alchemist". 2. Verify alibis for the 9-11 PM window. 3. Trace the origin of the poison.
