You can question more suspects, but these are enough. The Valet told that from the moment the cook
went to fetch the vegetables he was in the second guest room until the doorbell rang at 9:15. The
cook told she went to get the vegetables at 8:35. The lady told she went to the second guest room
short after 9:00 and she saw no one. Therefore the valet is lying. Furthermore he is cleaning the
mud from the shoes which became dirty while he buried the dagger.
ACCUSE VALET (you have discovered the murderer. As a reward you now may seek the diamond which can
be found through a hatch in the nursery), DROP DAGGER, S, GET ROPE, E, LIGHT TORCH (you need the

You've left the manor with the diamond and have solved the murder.
Note:
You can give the meat to the dog to get past him, but it is not needed. Furthermore the bridge can
only be passed if you've no more than two objects in your possession.
