Did everyone else here have the... mushroom soup, was it?

So you say, Harry, so you SAY.
And may I see your phone, Jeeves? I want to see if it is Mr Body's phone.

Yes, hand over your phone Jeeves, we will need it for evidence.

I think everybody ate the soup. I washed up a bowl from each person and they were all empty.

What did everyone have to drink?

Did anyone hear a noise at all?

And has that ice machine been serviced lately?

*Walks over to chain suspended from bookcase and inspects it. Looks up. Looks around the room. sighs*

Inspector Oftheyard? Do you suppose there is an estate inventory record someewhere? In Jeeves' office? I hope you have access to that room cordoned off from all "players" including Jeeves. There seems to be some books missing here *Gazes up at bookcase again*

Mr. Davies, it's come to my attention that you were trying to sign a weapons-shipping contract with your old friend Mr. Body. Why was he so reluctant to work with you? You've been business partners for many years if I'm not mistaken.

Are the lamps always clustered all together like this? Wouldn't be more efficient beside the armchairs? And what are the books I see beside this one?

*Picks up one of the books beside the armchair and looks at the title.*

Okay, and one more thing, the blister packet of Wayfarin up in the guest bathroom is now empty. Is that an inordinate amount of blood pooling at Mr Body's head? Can there be an autopsy to see if there is bleeding in his stomach?

Wayfarin is a prescription medication but the room description (upstairs guest bathroom) does not STATE that June's name is on the empty package. We need to know whose prescription it is because the drug is mainly dangerous to people who have never taken it.
However, that doesn't prove anything either but it is good information.

June? is that your Wayfarin? Inspector? Could one of your officers go look?

(Smashing performance, all!)

*The empty warfarin tablet packet is taken into police evidence.*

I think we should finger print all the people here tonight.

Jeeves my good man, I found bottles of Paracetamol and Warfarin in the medicine cabinet upstairs. Both of which, if I'm not mistaken, are used for the treatment of chronic migrains and various other pains. Has Mr. Body been suffering from a medical condition recently?

Miss Somers, everyone else here has some obvious connection to Mr. Body, but the only one you seem to have is in your ongoing lawsuit with his ex-wife Marisol. Why would he pay for your lawyers in that lawsuit, much less ask you to a dinner party?

Mr. MacLeery, my colleague, the esteemed Clare, noticed a case of silver antiques in your potting shed. Would you care to explain what they're doing there?

Yes! and WHY are some of your prescriptions in the guest bathroom cabinet?

That is for June

Cook asked me to polish the silver sir. She hates the smell of polish in the house.

(His? I thought they were June's. The room says they're June's.)

Is that true Ms. McBiscuit?
