Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective, Volume III Hints

Who killed Roland Jaquard and why?

  • 1 of 8: You should notice that the securities in Jaquard's house were not stolen, so this embezzlement scheme probably has nothing to do with his murder.
  • 2 of 8: Jaquard was quite the womanizer.
  • 3 of 8: He also put up quite a fight before he died.
  • 4 of 8: The person who killed him probably would show the signs of a fight.
  • 5 of 8: Letitia Garcia had a few other "suitors."
  • 6 of 8: One of them was Marco Escobedo.  He's the murderer.
  • 7 of 8: Listen to the way he talks about Letitia Garcia.
  • 8 of 8: It's obvious that jealousy was his motive (D).
