File No. 005: The DJ’s Swansong

Overview: Radio DJ Dread collapses on-air, seemingly poisoned during his own broadcast.  Lucy and Alfendi must locate the killer from among four suspects, but another mystery pops up during the case.

• Alfendi suspects Dolly Hollerday for this crime.
• After meeting with Dolly, you’ll be given three deductions to follow up on.

• Select “Dread’s body” first.
• Tap on the dead body.
• Tap on Corpse to enter “the body” into evidence.
• Dolly asks what’s the funny item near the body.  Use the camera icon to zoom all the way in.
• Tap on Wig and select “This is sus!”
• This resolves the first deduction.  Select “Find the poison” next.
• Tap on the puddle next to Dread’s body.
• Tap on Spilt Tea to enter it into evidence, then select “The poison’s here!”
• You now need to investigate the broken teacup.
• Use the camera icon to zoom all the way into the puddle area.
• Tap on Broken Cup to enter it into evidence.
• Alfendi asks “What’s strange about the broken cup?”  Select “The fingerprints on it.”
• This solves the poison deduction.  Select “Deadly request.”
• Tap on the pile of papers on the table left of the dead body.
• Use the camera icon to zoom all the way in.
• Tap on Request Sheet to enter it into evidence.
• You need to investigate the fax machine next.

• Zoom out and tap on the fax machine to the far left of the body.
• Use the camera icon to zoom all the way in, and then tap on Fax Machine to enter it into evidence.
• This solves the third deduction; Alfendi and Lucy begin reviewing the evidence.

• To question “Where were traces of the poison found?” select “Spilt tea.”
• To question “What doesn’t add up between the crime scene and the statement?” select “Dolly Hollerday Statement 2” and then “Wig.”
• Sniffer calls with new evidence: the tea lady did kill Dread, but her dead body was just discovered!
• Lucy and Alfendi decide to investigate this death, even though their original case has been closed.

• Select the new deduction, “Honest Hollerday.”
• You need to find what’s at odds with the recording from the radio show.
• Tap on the puddle near Dread’s body.
• Use the camera icon to zoom in and tap on Broken Cup.
• Next, select “The sound of Dread collapsing.”  This resolves Hollerday’s contradictions.

• You need to find proof of Dread faking his death.
• Tap on Dread’s body.

• Use the camera icon to zoom all the way in.
• Tap on Handkerchief and select “Here’s the proof!”
• This helps confirm Dread’s actual death; Alfendi and Lucy begin to look into the tea lady’s demise.
• Select the new deduction, “Brewer’s death.”

• There’s a new area available in the studio; click on the NEW door to enter the other crime scene.
• Tap on Song Request.

• Use the camera icon to zoom all the way in; tap on Tiny Glass Shards.
• You’re tasked with finding proof that Brewer’s death was murder.
• Tap on Note and select “Here’s the proof!”
• To question “Which piece of evidence relates heavily to ‘Farrods – sale’?” select “Radio show.”
• To question “What does Brewer’s note to herself reveal?” select “She didn’t see death coming.”
• To question “Was Brewer an accomplice in the murder of Dread?” select “She wasn’t an accomplice.”
• To question “Who’s the real killer?” select “Mike de Bonair.”
• Tap on de Bonair’s portrait to begin questioning him.

• To question “Were the police mistaken in deciding the tea lady was the killer?” select “Yes.”
• To question “In what was the poison that killed Dread?” select “Spilt tea.”
• To question “Who brought the tea to the scene of the crime?” select “Anice Brewer.”
• To question “When was the poison put in the tea?” select “After the show was interrupted.”
• To question “Which statement belies his claim that he saw Dread’s wig fall off?” select “Dolly Hollerday Statement 2.”
• To question “Which statement belies his claim that he saw Dread drink the tea?” select “Dolly Hollerday Statement 1.”
• To question “Which evidence supports the claim that Dread didn’t drink his tea?” select “Broken cup.”

• To question “Which piece of evidence shows that Dread faked his own death?” select “Handkerchief.”
• To question “Which piece of evidence shows that Brewer didn’t commit suicide?” select “Note.”
• After a sudden turn of events, one final question comes into play: “Which piece of evidence shows that de Bonair is guilty?”  Select “The perfume bottle of poison.”

• Next, select “Tiny glass shards.”
• Lucy and Alfendi finish cornering de Bonair and solve the case!
