Night 14
Our mystery comes to an end. Did you guess who the murderer was before you found the clue?


It looks as if Mr. Whale has been set up to look like the guilty party but Detective Heathmoor noticed a few things that proved it was actually Ms. Browning.
1. Ms. Browning was wearing Mr. Whale's jacket when they entered the manor. This gave her time to remove the maroon button from the jacket.
2. Ms. Browning was very cozy to Mr. Whale as she helped wipe the spilt drink off his jacket. This gave her time to remove the scarf from his pocket without anyone noticing.
 
"You were very clever in making it look like Mr. Whale had done it but you forgot one thing when you left the crime scene." Detective Heathmoor turned to Ms. Browning. "You forgot the glass on the floor. The glass that has lipstick not in Madame Corman's shade but yours."

Ms. Browning stood there with a devilish grin on her face. "She found out you where the one blackmailing Mr. Castle and threatened to turn you in." Detective Heathmoor said.
"She deserved what she got!" Ms. Browning exclaimed. "Threatening to ruin me like that. And Mr. Whale was the perfect fool to take the fall." She laughed.

The mystery has been solved, the guilty taken away, the guest have gone home and Raven Perch Manor is quiet once more.

Night 13
Captain Hooper makes his way to the front of the crowd. He spots the scarf next to the body. "Her scarf." he said "She dropped that out in the hall." His glance turns to Mr. Whale. "You picked it up and put it in your pocket." Gasps are heard throughout the crowd.
"I most certainly did!" Mr. Whale exclaimed. "It's still right here in my pocket." he said reaching into his pocket but finding it empty. "I swear it was right here."

Detective Heathmoor picks up the small maroon button from the floor.
"Look" Mrs. Craven said "It's the same color as Mr. Whales' jacket." Every one's eye are set on Mr. Whale.
"Well you can see I'm not missing any buttons!" he growls.
"Actually, my good man, you are." Sir Hitchcock points to the sleeve of the jacket.
"You can not possibly think I had anything to do with this!" he yelled.
"You were fighting with her earlier this evening" Ms. Browning offered "before that drink spilled all over you."

"Yes, he would appear to be our main suspect." Detective Heathmoor said. He knelt down next to the empty glass of champagne that lay on the floor and studied it closely. "But then we would be wrong."
"What do mean?" Ms. Browning asked.
"If you notice the lipstick print on this glass you will see that it does not match the shade worn by Madame Corman." He stood back up and straightened out his suit. "I think you will find we now have all the clues we need."
