Detective, this is an unmitigated disaster! My life's work has been stolen! Tonight, the Grand Critic of the Guide is dining at my table. I was to serve him my newest creation, the 'Ocean's Breath', a recipe I've been secretly perfecting for months.
My office safe was emptied last night. No forced entry. The perpetrator knew the code, which corresponds to the year of my ultimate consecration, my 3rd Michelin star. Only my daughter Léa, my sous-chef, and I have access to that office. But I would bet my life this is Marini's doing, that hack cook who dreams of stealing my throne!
I've locked down all access to the restaurant; the entire crew is confined to quarters. I'm sending you the security logs and what we found in the office. Find my notebook. My honor is on the line!
