Form 1: Names

• You need three names: the woman who died in the car, the man who was hit, and the missing person.
• The missing person photo draws attention to the wallet.
• These names are easy to confirm, so the later hints treat them as known.

Form 2: Blood Testing

• Once the names are done, you can ask the forensic pathologist about the body and the three questions. If you collected every blood sample, you can run the blood tests by following the chart in the medical book.
• There is no catch here. Just follow the chart.

Hints for Forms 3 and 4

• You need the crash location for both forms.
• The crash happened at a T-junction with a tree at the fork. Look for any other landmarks.
• A lack of landmarks can also tell you where you are.
• The sun was used for directions long before maps. It sets in the west.
• The map may not face the same way as the crash site.
• Oak Hill, Lakeside Junction, and Cedarvale Fork all have a tree at a T-junction, so the crash must be at one of them. The camera only shows fields in the opposite direction, which means there are no landmarks or trees on that side.
• The road opposite the tree leads toward the setting sun, so it is the west road. Turn the map 90 degrees to the right and compare.

Form 3: Death Certificate

• The form asks for her name, date and time of death, place of death, manner of death, cause of death, her role in the crash, and the name of the missing person.
• The cyclist’s form shows the date and time his injury was reported, which is also the time of the crash. You can also work it out from another source that gives the date and time of the sunset.
• The narration says the blood test results point to foul play. Think about why.
• Two blood group systems matter in medicine: ABO and Rhesus. ABO tells you whether blood has A, B, both, or neither (O). Daisy has only A and Rupert has neither, so neither of them could leave a B antigen behind. What does the AB sample tell you?
• The pathologist found blunt force trauma to Daisy’s head but none to her chest. What did her head hit? The windshield on the driver’s side has no cracks.
• Unless she was forced off the road or the car was tampered with, the crash counts as an accident.
• The key question: Daisy was found in the driver’s seat, but does anything else prove she was driving?
• The tests show blood matching Daisy’s on the passenger side, while the blood at the driver’s seat, where she was found, does not match hers. Put those two facts together.

Form 4: Emergency Medical Record

• You have to work out Rupert’s age yourself.
• His dialogue is the only clue to how bad his injuries are and what caused them.
• The type of accident may sound strange at first. Think about which category a cyclist hit by a car would fall under.
• To get his age, subtract the birth year on his ID from the year on the newspaper.
