“Alicia Moncrieff……. Moncrieff? MONCRIEFF! That’s it. Now I remember! Do you remember the story on the newspaper? It was talking about the late David Moncrieff husband of Alicia Moncrieff. It said that Alicia was about 19 years old when she suicided.
She was isolated and she felt socially and mentally deserted. Her bad looks caused her to often get bullied and teases.
She was pregnant at the time and though she died, the child who was later named Harry Moncrieff survived. He was raised alone by his father,” Rachel exclaimed in excitement.
“I think we have been misled. The other suspects have less problematic backstories. But this really makes sense. I think Harry Moncrieff killed Mrs. Castel,” Tom said confidently.
“I think you’re right. Now all we have to do is to find an address.We need to find out where this ‘MONCRIEFF’ lives,” She said, “Did check for any clues?”
“Oops! I totally forgot. Let’s look,” Tom said.
They scoured the area with a sense of urgency, their eyes darting from one spot to another in a frenzied search.
With each passing moment, their frustration mounted, as the object they sought remained stubbornly out of reach. They left no stone unturned, examining every nook and cranny with a keen eye, but their efforts proved futile. In the end, they were left empty-handed, with nothing to show for their arduous search.
“There’s literally nothing! I need some fresh air,” Rachel groaned, as she walked towards the window. She opened it widely letting a huge whoosh of wind inside the room.
“Wait a minute! I think there something stuck here. Come here Tom, ”Rachel alleged eagerly.
Without any delay, Tom sprang towards the window to get a closer look at what was stuck on the other side of the glass. He saw a small, intricately drawn map, with a tiny X marking the spot for Castel Manor.
The level of detail on the map was impressive; it included the surrounding streets, alleys, and buildings.
But what piqued his curiosity was a handwritten annotation that was added in blue ink.
The annotation pointed towards Castel Manor, and from the looks of it, it was added recently. It seemed like someone had followed a path and marked the starting point with a pen on the map.
The line drawn from the starting point ended at Castel Manor, indicating that this was the destination.
“I think the murderer dropped this. See, there’s blood down the wall, he must have gone down the window. Probably on a rope,” Tom said.
“I think this is where Harry Moncrieff stays,” Rachel replied pointing at the place next to the annotation.
