Piece the Scene
The Quartermaster Key Drawn Off Its Lanyard
The quartermaster's key does not leave its lanyard; that is the whole point of a lanyard six weeks from relief. This one came off anyway — the store-hut seal recrimped with pliers that were not the quartermaster's, and a stack of pemmican tins counted twice to cover one short.
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.
