Sinking Island Hints
6. Where was the shot fired from?
1 of 11: This is another Day Two mandate, and in order to solve it, you will need to use a document, two photographs or comparisons, and a physical piece of evidence.
2 of 11: The document will detail the direction from which the bullet entered Walter Jones' body.
3 of 11: Something that recorded details about his corpse.
4 of 11: Use the autopsy report as the documentary evidence.
5 of 11: The photographical comparisons you need to present show the reason there were scratches on the rifle, and a photograph of the scratches themselves.
6 of 11: You should have taken a photograph of the scratches on the rifle before you picked it up. (The game wouldn't let you take it unless you had.)
7 of 11: The reason there were scratches relates to an earlier discovery you made in the library.
8 of 11: Did you see scratches anywhere else in the room?
9 of 11: There were scratches near where Hubert De Nolent was sitting -- the windowsill behind his desk, in fact.
10 of 11: Present the photograph of those scratches.
11 of 11: Then also present the woodchips themselves as the physical evidence necessary.
