Sinking Island Hints

How should I handle the situation in the library?

  • 1 of 9: This section contains some spoilers so do not continue until you have visited the library yourself.
  • 2 of 9: Hubert De Nolent's body is found slumped over his desk in the library.
  • 3 of 9: You need to examine the body and its surroundings very carefully, as there are a fair few pieces of crucial evidence to be found here.
  • 4 of 9: First of all, you will need to photograph the scene.
  • 5 of 9: You will notice he is holding a letter in his left hand.
  • 6 of 9: You can take this and read it, but you will notice half of this letter is missing.
  • 7 of 9: You will also find a piece of evidence in Hubert's jacket pocket.
  • 8 of 9: It is the broken piece of Walter Jones' wheelchair -- a remote control.
  • 9 of 9: The gun in his other hand will need to be fingerprinted -- but you cannot simply take it, as this would contaminate it with your own prints.
