Hints:
- If you see an obvious conclusion, think twice. This is the most straight forward suicide I’ve ever seen
- The Photo scroll asks you to identify who took these photos and on which day. Did anything in these photos change between days?
- Whoever took the photo for the picnic had their had partially in frame and they have a band aid on their finger
- According to the clock in 2A, it’s 7:15. It’s likely the evening, as several people are siting down for dinner.
- The bulletin board says that Issa and his son were not at the picnic
- If we look at the research poster on the bulletin board, three slips have been taken.
- When you see someone with a switchblade getting a red stain out of their shirt, it’s natural to be suspicious, but it could be from any red mess.
- The mother says that there was a gun shot a half hour ago, or 6:45 PM. This death was recent
- Assigning everyone to their apartment will make naming everyone so much easier
- The directory lists the inhabitants of B4 as having different last names, which means that the inhabitants of every other apartment all share one last name per apartment
- The letter in B3 says that Bo saw something at the picnic, so he must have been there
- The B4 game night is set up for three people, but only two are currently playing. Did someone leave?
- The mother says that Sawyer will be there soon and her fridge says inspections are on Tuesday at 7:20 PM. If it’s 7:15 PM, then it must be Tuesday
- If someone threatened me, I’d be on my best behavior. Anyone acting recklessly must be real stubborn or have something wrong with them cognitively
- The dead man’s apartment got a phone call saying that someone will “go up there and remind you” of their agreement at the picnic. Whoever shot him came from downstairs
- A recurring motif throughout this chapter is people with OPIG wristbands either forgetting (Declan forgetting the rules of his job) or remembering things they shouldn’t know (Arhtar doing a Spieldance). Is something deeper afoot?
- Whoever’s memories she received, they were from someone threatened with a gun on the day of the picnic. Who meets that description?
