    Thomas was on a mission. He had an uneasy feeling, the deaths of Ben, Jeffrey, and Lukas were not natural. 'I must find the truth,' he muttered to himself.

    The last few days were challenging, but Thomas wasn't one to back down. He was determined to unravel the mystery of the yellow venom.

    Upon reaching Yellowville, Thomas decided to meet Ria, the town's mayor. 'She might have some information,' he thought.

    Ria was dismissive. She didn't believe in the yellow venom theory. Thomas, however, wasn't convinced and decided to dig deeper.

    In the forest, he met Phi, the fairy. She was known for her notorious antics. Something about her made Thomas suspicious.

    Phi was evasive. She denied any involvement in the deaths. Thomas was unsure. He decided to investigate further.

    Ray, the cat lady, was the last on his list. She had a grudge against people who resembled Ben, Jeffrey, and Lukas. 'Could she be involved?' wondered Thomas.

    Ray was uncooperative and her cats hissed at Thomas. He left, but the suspicion on Ray grew stronger.

    Thomas mulled over his findings. He realized the yellow venom was not an accident, but a well-planned act. He had his suspects.

    After gathering enough evidence, Thomas confronted Ria, Phi, and Ray. The truth was shocking. They were all part of the deadly plot.

    They confessed. The yellow venom was their creation, used to exact revenge. Justice was served, the culprits were arrested.
