Piece the Scene

The Assay Damper Shut

After they broke the seal and pulled from the smoked office, the chimney still would not draw. Someone had packed the flue with rags and shut the damper — so the smoke would force the door, and the missing ounce could walk.

Each row and column has numbers beside it. Those numbers tell you how many squares in that line need to be filled in. Two numbers in one line means two separate groups, with at least one empty square between them.

Tap a square to fill it in. Tap again to mark it empty. Fill every square the numbers call for and a picture of the evidence appears.

Four wrong taps and you lose the case.
