Re: Murder Mystery
"Like I said, I give him money every month. The old man had problems but I'm not gonna leave him, and Davey, and mum out on the street." He shakes his head as he walks back into the room with the detective. "But that note from the play bill isn't from me. I left the old man a hundred pounds a month, in five pound notes. Most of the bills I just pay directly so that was money for personal things."

"So it was the Earl's money, by way of your charity! The question is how your gift found its way from the safe to the lavatory floor. Who knew the combination? Or perhaps your father opened it...the staff is paid from that fund also I presume, and Mr. Plum was scheduled to meet with him."

Re: Murder Mystery
Lady Wyckstaff can only just hear the mention of the safe. "I for one was not allowed the combination to the main safe." She sniffs and dabs her eyes with her hankerchief before continuing. "The main safe was used for his money, while a smaller safe in my boudoir was used for mine. So i really did not have any reason to have the numbers for the other."
We will find this f-ing troll, and kill it's f-ing ass.

"So it likely was your father then, " says Thorne. "Mr. Plum, Lear, were either of you to be paid today?" the detective asks the two staff members.

Re: Murder Mystery
David watches as Clyde takes control of the situation, poisoning the detective's mind about his Dad. At least when he did see his father he was nice to be around, not like the large morose emotional wreck their mother had turned into after the loss of their baby sister shortly after her 1st birthday.
He begins to walk upstairs to his room when he sees that the nursery door always shut, was slightly ajar. He walks towards it and peeks inside.

7 chipmunks twirlin' on a branch, eatin' lots of sunflowers on my uncle's ranch. You know that old children's tale from the sea.

Re: Murder Mystery
Thorne senses young David is troubled by Clyde's account, and is holding back something. Perhaps the child will open up in time.

"I get paid by the week, sir" Mr. Plum responds. "I get paid every Friday around 6- or 7-o' clock."

"He was struck by the piano, several steps away from the safe. Why did he move away from the safe without locking it first? What was so urgent he lacked the time to spin a dial?"

Re: Murder Mystery
Mr. Plum shrugs, "I wouldn't know... I make it a point to be in the kitchen while the Earl opens the safe, so that I have no... temptation of getting in there. Maybe he used the piano as a sorting table, to sort out pay for the staff? That's the only reason I can think of."
When sneaking up on people, leave your cell phone at home... or at least off.

Re: Murder Mystery
Thorne nods at the gardener. "That idea has merit. However if he was attacked while counting out money that leaves our murderer as the one who took it to deposit in the privy. Seems strange to murder a man for his money and then discard the money a short way away. Not that I think this crime was committed over a few piddling pounds. The bag had enough money to maintain the estate for a single month; not a trivial amount but certainly not a fortune worth killing over."
