Round 9:
Mr. Beauregard nods and takes note of your request to speak with Colonel Hastings.
Mr. Beauregard: "Very well, Detective. I will arrange a meeting with Colonel Hastings for you. Please wait here while I fetch him."
You wait patiently in the grand foyer as Mr. Beauregard disappears into the depths of the mansion. After a few minutes, he returns with Colonel Hastings, a stern-looking man in a tailored suit.

1. "Colonel Hastings, I would like to ask you about your relationship with Lord Sinclair and any potential motives you might have had to harm him."
2. "Colonel Hastings, can you provide an alibi for the time of the murder?"
3. "Colonel Hastings, have you noticed any suspicious activities or individuals in the mansion recently?"

Round 10:
Colonel Hastings raises an eyebrow at your question, contemplating his response.
Colonel Hastings: "Suspicious activities, you say? Well, I must admit, there have been some peculiar occurrences in the mansion lately. Strange noises in the middle of the night, doors opening and closing on their own, and even the feeling of being watched. It's quite unsettling, to be honest. As for individuals, I haven't noticed anyone out of the ordinary, but I can't say for certain. It's a large mansion, after all. Is there anything specific you're looking for?"
1. "Thank you, Colonel Hastings. Your information is valuable. I will continue my investigation."
2. "Colonel Hastings, I would like to ask you about your relationship with Lord Sinclair and any potential motives you might have had to harm him."

Round 11:
Colonel Hastings narrows his eyes, his expression turning serious.
Colonel Hastings: "My relationship with Lord Sinclair was purely business, Detective. We were partners in several ventures, but our recent dealings had become strained. He was becoming increasingly reckless, taking unnecessary risks that could have jeopardized our investments. I had confronted him about it, but we hadn't reached a resolution. However, I assure you, I had no motive to harm him. Our disagreements were strictly professional."
1. "Thank you for your cooperation, Colonel Hastings. I will take your statement into consideration."
2. "Colonel Hastings, can you provide an alibi for the time of the murder?"

Round 12:
Colonel Hastings clears his throat, his gaze unwavering as he responds to your request for an alibi.
Colonel Hastings: "I'm afraid I cannot provide a solid alibi for the time of the murder, Detective. I was alone in my study, working on some important documents. However, I assure you, I had no involvement in Lord Sinclair's demise. My focus was solely on my work, and I had no reason to harm him."
1. "Thank you for your honesty, Colonel Hastings. I will continue my investigation."
2. "Colonel Hastings, have you noticed any suspicious activities or individuals in the mansion recently?"
3. "Colonel Hastings, I will need to verify your alibi. I may need to search your study."

Round 13:
Colonel Hastings raises an eyebrow, a hint of annoyance in his voice.
Colonel Hastings: "Search my study? I find that highly unnecessary, Detective. But if it will help clear my name, go ahead. You won't find anything incriminating."
You follow Colonel Hastings to his study, a room filled with shelves of books and neatly organized files. As you begin your search, you notice a locked drawer in his desk.
1. "I will search the rest of the study first before attempting to open the locked drawer."
2. "I will attempt to open the locked drawer immediately."
3. "Colonel Hastings, do you have the key to this locked drawer?"

Round 14:
Colonel Hastings raises an eyebrow, a hint of suspicion in his eyes.
Colonel Hastings: "The key to that locked drawer? I'm afraid I don't have it, Detective. I rarely use that drawer, and I can't recall where I might have placed the key. But I assure you, there's nothing of importance in there."
1. "Very well, Colonel Hastings. I will continue my search in the rest of the study."
2. "I will attempt to open the locked drawer using other means."
3. "Colonel Hastings, I find it suspicious that you don't have the key to a drawer in your own study. I will need to investigate this further."

Round 15:
You decide to attempt to open the locked drawer in Colonel Hastings' study using other means. As you search the room, you come across a small set of lockpicking tools hidden discreetly in a drawer nearby. With careful precision, you begin to work on unlocking the drawer.
However, just as you're about to succeed, you hear a click from behind you. You turn around to find Colonel Hastings holding a revolver, his expression cold and determined.
Colonel Hastings: "I'm afraid I can't let you continue, Detective. You're getting too close to the truth."
Before you can react, Colonel Hastings pulls the trigger, and everything goes black.
