A different kind of case
Rags in the Assay Flue
Sixteen pieces came off the property after they found the flue packed shut. They implicate four people — four each. Sort them by who they actually point to. Four mistakes and the marshal closes the file.
Sixteen details, four places. Every card names or points to the place it was found — a pantry key, a conservatory walk, a piano stool. Four cards from the same place belong to the same person.
Read each card for its place, not its drama, and group the four that share one. Four wrong groupings and the file closes.
The evidence
Select four that implicate the same person.
4 mistakes left
Pick four pieces.
