One of them, a middle-aged man with a nervous demeanor, finally speaks up. "Alright, alright. We were involved, but it wasn't what you think. We were trying to prevent something terrible from happening."

Curiosity piqued, you urge them to explain further.

"We received a message, a warning about a plot to harm someone on this train," the man continues. "We were discussing how to stop it, but we never intended for anyone to be killed."

"This is the anonymous note we received," he says, handing it to you. "We didn't think much of it at first, but now it seems more significant."

You unfold the note and read its contents. It warns of a murder on the Orient Express and urges the recipients to prevent it.

You decide to compare the handwriting on the note to the handwriting of the group members. You politely request each member to write a short sentence on a piece of paper, trying to match the style and slant of the note.
