Could you tell us something about the rat-catcher?

I wouldn’t know what to tell you! Xebbert Dürban was hired shortly before the expansion of the sewer system. That must have been about ten years ago. He’s doing a thorough job. Since he’s been here, the city’s been free of vermin. But then he vanished and the council had to hire a new rat-catcher, Tolsa Fernel.

What do you know about her?

The judge wrinkles his nose.

Well, this kind of job does not attract beautiful people, so she is stereotypically… well… but she seems to be a professional. The council pays her generously for each dead rodent.
