Chief Inspector

Good morning, Inspector. How are you doing on that promotion you've been eyeing for years? If you can solve this case, you're bound to get it. Mr. B. L. Brown, the president of the Brown Paper Products Company, has been found dead in an upstairs bathroom at his country estate. You're familiar with the company's products because you've been using them for years those brown paper bags you wrap your lunch in every day.

To solve the mystery, use two-word commands to move through the house to examine and pick up clues. To make it easier, you need only to type the first three letters of the verb (LOOk, EXAmine, INSpect). Due to a large assortment of nouns, you will have to type in at least the first five letters of the nouns. For directional commands, simply type in the first letter ('N' for North, etc.).

As in any house, you will discover a lot of things just lying around. You must decide which are important to the case. Pay attention to where objects are, look in things, collect the clues that seem to suggest means, method, motive and opportunity.

You are aware that the murderer could have planted some clues to make other persons look guilty. However, the culprit will be the person with the largest number of clues pointing to him or her. If you think you know who committed the act, type ACCusation. Then you will be prompted to fill out a report, giving the suspect's full name, his relationship to the deceased, and all the evidence needed for a conviction. Be sure to enter the evidence exactly as it appears in the INYentory. To review the statements, type STAtements.
