Start
Even though arsenic was used on a regular basis by woman to poison their husbands, arsenic can also be found in a lot of bread ingredients. The only safe thing should be the bakers yeast. But for the salt for example there could have been a mix-up. And arsenic tends to accumulate in cereals if the water that is used to water the plants contains a lot of arsenic. Therefore you should investigate the water, the salt and the cereals that the baker uses.
Finish
After gathering all the materials from the you return to the coroners lab and analyze the samples. But before you are doing that you inform the Baker about your progress.
