Art of Murder: FBI Confidential Hints
How can I get the porter to let me into the storage room?
1 of 16: He sure is being stubborn, isn't he?
2 of 16: A nice little distraction will be perfect here. He isn't the brightest apple on the cart, and we can easily get him away from his post.
3 of 16: The distraction will actually be caused in the Orangery, so focus your efforts there.
4 of 16: You will, however, need a couple of handy tools to help you.
5 of 16: There's a magnifying glass on a stand in the archival room (left of the exhibition hall). There's also some aluminium/aluminum (dependant on your literary persuasion!) foil in there. Grab that too.
6 of 16: And you'll also need the ceramic bowl from the far end of the exhibition hall. Just go with me on this one. :)
7 of 16: Now, head to the Orangery, take a look at those three items, and see if you can figure out what it is I want you to do.
8 of 16: It revolves around the temperature of the room.
9 of 16: The temperature of this room is closely monitored, and a sudden change in that temperature would trigger an alarm. And, chances are that alarm would pull Mr. Stupid away from his post to come check it out.
10 of 16: See that temperature sensor hanging down at the upper-left corner of the screen? Use that.
11 of 16: You will also need to make use of the active hotspot at the BASE of the statue on the right side of the screen.
12 of 16: First, place the magnifying lens down there.
13 of 16: Now, place the bowl and foil on the floor to create a nice shiny surface.
14 of 16: The light from above will be reflected directly onto the sensor, and the alarm will ring.
15 of 16: Now head back into the hallway and you will meet our friend the porter. He's not going anywhere, so just head right on back into the hallway...
16 of 16: ...and on into the storage basement. Genius. :)
