Assessing the Brit

When you enter the seance room, you will see an unusual scene. We won't go into details. Let's move on to the moment when you give the cane back to its owner. Once you do so, you have to look at the man and judge who you think he is. It's worth looking at:

1. the red swelling on the face;
2. the elegant vest;
3. the ring on his finger;
4. the red swollen knuckles.

The first answer is correct (marked on the screenshot above). It'll make Sherlock think the man is Lord Craven.

Table

Once you get information about the diamond theft, you need to look at the items on the table. Check:

1. the "ectoplasm".
2. the broken wine glass;
3. the glass with Scotch;
4. the empty diamond space in the middle of the table;
5. the butterfly pin, which is located on the jacket of the medium.

Talking to the medium

You need to talk to the medium once you've checked the room. He'll say he has no idea what happened. During the seance, Lady Craven started screaming, causing him to interrupt the seance. He will add that angry Lord Craven struck him and broke his nose.

Deduction

After getting the clues from the seance room, you need to connect the items shown on the screenshot above. This way you will get a task that will take you to an open space.

The correct connection is:

1. The lady pointed across the table
2. Lady Craven faced the window

Broken heel

Go out the back door and stand by the window. If you have marked the correct task in the guide (shown on the screenshot above) you will be able to examine the broken heel. It is right by the window, between two tiles.

Wardrobe

You should go to the wardrobe to search for the shoe. Under the table with employee attire on top, is one shoe with a broken heel. It belongs to the maid. She will walk around the hotel in her own shoes.

Maid

After checking the shoe, you must search for the maid. Mark this task in the log so that you can talk to other employees. From the women you will learn that the owner of the broken shoe is cleaning the floor upstairs, next to the paintings.

The woman admits she saw the séance, but she doesn't know anything else. She is certain, however, that it was her who frightened Lady Craven by appearing outside the window.

Arranging the events

After collecting all the clues, you can return to the seance room. There, you'll have to correctly arrange the events of this evening.

1. The woman should sit in front of the window where the broken glass it;
2. The lord should be on her left, next to the glass with Scotch;
3. The medium should be on the right, where the chair went.

Room 226

After all the information from the seance room has been arranged, go to 226. There are two maids gossiping outside the door - you must eavesdrop on them and extract valuable information from their conversation. We marked all the important elements on the screenshot above.

Information you need to keep:

1. Was on the lookout;
2. Cannot use a fish knife;
3. Made her husband drunk.

Discovering the body

When you enter the room, you'll find that the lady is dead. After talking to the Lord, you'll find out that he was at the bar, and when he came in, she was dead. However, he will mention that Luka (the medium) was in the next room, so he should have heard something.
