Crime: CSI Sprout Forest

They are back again! John, Jim, and James (well, not quite) whom you've already met for "Contraption" (see the first comment, please). They are still searching for the Center of the Universe. And this time the Dimension Skipper™ accidentally brought them to Sprout Forest, a particularly thick forest, truly uncharted territory. At the end of that ominous day James went missing. But what happened? To find out, John (the guy in yellow with the phone, the latest and greatest "Pear uPhone 9z Plus Pitch Black SE™") quickly summoned Detective Cagney of SFPD. Soon a suspect was found, Peter Croc, who had lurked about the scene of the crime for a while. Here is an excerpt from the record of interrogation:

 

Det. Cagney: I see particularly and suspiciously clean teeth here. Did you brush your teeth in order to erase all traces?

 

Peter C.: Get chat ching oug of my mouch, I can'g chpeak. I alwaych bruch my teech after dinner. And lunch. You chould do cho, too.

 

Det. Cagney: What did you have for dinner today?

 

Peter C.: Chrpouts. We are in Chprout Forecht. Now will you pleache...

 

Jim (kneeling): James? Are you in there?? Can you hear me???

 

Peter C.: Chtop yelling into my mouch, my chroat tichles!

 

Jeremy (new team member, the guy with the meter stick / arrow): Detective, I'm not quite sure whether it is possible that our suspect has, err, swallowed our colleague. Ever since James remembered to always bring his lunchbox, he, well, has put on quite considerably. Not sure if he would, ahem, go in.

 

Peter C.: Chere! I tolg you, I was innochent!!! I'm a gourmeg, nog a gourmang! Now geg chat ching oug of my mouch, my jaw hurtch!

 

Jeremy: Sir, may I...?

 

Det. Cagney: Peter Croc, you are still under suspicion to be involved in the disappearance of James. Further investigations will be necessary. Until further notice you are supposed to stay within Sprout Forest limits. Jeremy, you may remove the arrow now.

 

Jim: ?!?!!! Hey, Jeremy, wait a sec....

 

Three questions remain: Will they find James? Did the suspect tell the truth? And did Jim get out in time?

A Happy Macro Monday, Everyone!
