(Yeah, the point was to imply the use of strong language without implying that I was actually using strong language.)

A perfect trap was laid, and JoeyC just had to muddle it up. I had a clever trap all prepared for TheMysteriousMapMan, but Joey just had to stop him on the bus just long enough for it to be foiled. Ah, well, life goes on.

Here's a clue for my next target, by the way:

I parked my automobile outside the residence of the next target with a clear agenda, and began to surveil this individual's movements. I observed this person carrying on a cellular telephone conversation, but I do not know with who, or rather, with whom. I then left, for I had a laundry list of tasks that needed to be accomplished.

48 hours.

I think this clue has something to do with important words. These words strike me as important: automobile, residence, agenda, surveil, cellular, laundry

Some of these words seem to have something to do with Disease Detectives; automobile may indicate a vehicle, surveil to surveillance, and cellular.

Therefore, I protect myself because I do Disease Detectives, and I am an officer.

EDIT: The signature is a Caesar cipher. With a shift of +6, it decrypts to CEPHISSUS. The signature says "We're all like the son of [Cephissus]". Wikipedia claims that the son of Cephissus is either Eteocles of Orchomenus or Narcissus. This may mean the sassy is narcissistic, as Narcissus is in Greek mythology.

For some reason I feel like this clue is targeting Things2do because of the language used. I protect Things2do because of this.

I protect myself cause the proper accuse has probably already been made.

How disappointing. I won't spare you with a short recap, but, suffice it to say, TheCrazyChemist saved Things2do. Another accusation for him. Oh boy.

Here's my next target:

ieqr mvudc jgikfi

You seem to have figured out one of these in the past, but I've added another layer. Blaise (although it was really Giovan) will be able to help you with this one again, at least for the first steps. This clue is rather like a matryoshka doll. On the outer one is a depiction of the local top dog. The inner one has the name of H.J. Potter's nemesis.

48 hours.
