Chapter 1

5TH MURDER SCENE

Your adventure begins at the crime scene of the 5th murder.

To get some background to the story, read the coroner's reports (on the first 4 victims) and the prologue details in your inventory.

After talking to Officer Tate, enter the apartment building and go up the stairs. Get the camera from Miller, then go to the bathroom and talk to Claire (the coroner).

Take the black light filter, luminol, film, tweezers and forensic swabs from the briefcase in the kitchen. Load the film into the camera (combine them in your inventory) so that you can take photographs of the evidence.

Collecting Evidence

Living Room (at the entrance to the apartment)

(a) attach the black light filter to the forensic lamp
(b) photograph the blood stains on the floor
(c) use a forensic swab to collect a blood sample
(d) spray luminol on the 'clean' area on the wall
(e) photograph the word 'SANCTUARY' on the wall

Bedroom (across the hallway from the Living Room)

Room next to the Kitchen

(a) photograph the hair and fibre snagged on the nail in the wall
(b) use the tweezers to collect a hair and fibre sample

Talk to Claire again, put the evidence into her briefcase and leave to return to the office.

After the staircase collapses the only way out is through the sealed door at the far end of the hallway. Take the lead pipe from the pile of junk in the Living Room and use it to remove the boards from the exit door.

THE OFFICE

From the parking basement (B1) take the elevator to the 8th floor. Talk to Miller (in the general office). Examine Victoria's desk (closest to you) and take your new security pass and the Christmas gift for Pat (Victoria's dad). Listen to the telephone message from Todd (your boss) and look through the photos of the first 4 victims.

Before going down to the Morgue (on level B2) drop the camera in the evidence chute (on the wall opposite the general office).

To open the door into the Morgue click on the control panel next to it. Swipe your new security card in the slot on the left and enter your code followed by the green OK button. The code is on the reverse side of the card.

The numbers corresponding to 'VODKA' are '86352' - so enter these numbers then click the green OK button.

After talking to Claire, take her report to Miller and then head off to Pat's house.

PAT'S HOUSE

Victoria's room is up the stairs and to the right at the end of the hallway. To get into the attic (in the cupboard) use the umbrella hanging on the stand at the bottom of the staircase.

Turn on the light in the attic (the switch is on the left wall - sneakily hidden by Victoria's head when she enters) and examine the locked chest. To open the chest, the symbols (Spades, Hearts, Diamonds and Clubs) on the 5 tumblers must be manipulated and displayed in a specific sequence. Note that you do already have the clue to the sequence required to unlock the chest!
