THE THIRD INVESTIGATION

[How is everyone, this morning?

No doubt, most of you are sleeping. Perhaps you are dreaming. Whether they are dreams or nightmares are irrelevant. Hopefully, none of you are heavy sleepers. Especially not when there is a very loud BANG that suddenly permeates through the ceiling right above the bedrooms.. The force of the impact is such the rooms actually shake, sending dust onto those in their bed.

If that didn't wake someone up, then the sudden scream coming from upstairs at roughly the same time will do it, right?

In other words. Good morning, Strangers. Something is happening upstairs.

Best to check it out, and quickly.]

Someone jabbed the heart to get in here again. The piano wires were removed. Someone had brought a torch in here and doused it in a bucket of water - shortly before the investigation; I'm able to preserve it with my powers so I'll produce it at the trial for you to observe. Then right by the window to the library was a set of bow and arrows. None were broken. We'll have to compare arrowheads at the trial. The secret passage extends further up to the fourth floor; please report whether this was a change. The piano wires found their way through a door into that room by the time of the investigation.
