GG Novice! Very well played.
So, my copping wasn't so useful. It kind of shows up the odd dangers of a power role like that. I scanned Novice because I thought he was scummy, then he came back clean. I considered that he might be a serial killer, but the odds of that were so low, that I felt it wasn't worth pursuing. I feel like it's always going to be more likely that someone you're not sure about could be scum than the 4% chance of a specific person being a serial killer, and so in that situation I feel like ignoring Novice was the best town play, even though it backfired in this instance. So in the end, I maybe hurt us more than helped by scanning him.
Anyway, obviously it helped a lot that Novice held his shot back, so we didn't even know a serial killer existed.
Scum win?
