There has been a murder! Become a detective and solve the murder mystery. Each one of you has identified a suspect and interrogated him. And now you are all sitting together to discuss the case. In turns, each of you relates the results of your interrogation to the others. Listen very carefully to your colleagues, as the smallest detail could be the missing link. The detective who performed his duties the best and was able to collect the most points wins.
