Inspect the room where Lady Brackenstall is resting | The Abbey Grange Affair SH: Crimes and Punishments Guide

Approach the Table near the main door and take the Letter (Inspector's letter; 2 pages). Examine the Address, Wax seal and the Coat-of-arms (on the other side of the letter) and read it. After talking to Watson, use the Map to go to Abbey Grange.

After Lestrade introduces Sherlock to the new case (Lestrade's statement will appear in the Evidence tab), head to the door to the left of the inspector, who is sitting in the hall. Enter the room where Lady Brackenstall is resting.

Lady Brackenstall portrait:

• Fresh bruises around the right (from player's perspective) eye;
• Pale cheeks (left cheek);
• Australian origin (Gold brooch);
• Elegant dress (torso);
• Old bruises (left hand);
• Wedding ring.

Continue the conversation and select: Old bruises, when the QTE appears (also an Evidence in the Casebook).

Talk to Theresa, the maid.

Theresa portrait:

• Wrinkles (nose and eyes);
• Working hands;
• Caring (Handkerchief that was used for Resuscitation);
• Coffee stain (on the apron).

Approach the low Table by the wall (to the left of the door) and take the Newspaper (Times). Read the article (Randall gang's burglary; 2 pages).

Deduction

Connect "Randalls are well-known" with "Criminals Identified". You will obtain two options: "Randalls Blamed" and "Randall Gang".

There is a safe hidden behind the Picture.

Go to the next table (on your left) and activate Holmes's talent. You will notice some Scratches on the wall, near the Picture. Move the Picture and examine Brackenstall's safe.

Take a look at the items on the Small table. Take the Photograph and look at the Two women. Rotate the object, move the Fasteners and Remove the Backing board. Examine the Writing on the back (Photograph note).

Opening the Safe

Ask Lady Brackenstall about the safe. Unfortunately, she doesn't know the combination. Approach the Safe and try to open it. Rotate the dial slowly, observing the red marks. When one of them starts to vibrate (and doesn't stop), confirm the setting (options at the top of the screen) by moving the handle on the left. This will happen at number 15, 5 and 17. The red marks should align in a vertical line.

From the Safe, take the Medical report (3 pages) about Sir Eustace state (an Evidence will appear in the Casebook: Poor health). Examine the Money and the Coins.

Talk to Theresa and select: History of violence.

Leave the room and ask Lestrade about Sir Eustace's reputation.

Deduction

Connect "From Australia" with "No personal life". You will obtain two options: "No acquaintance" and "Acquainted with a sailor".

Connect "Inspector's Tale" with "Violent behaviour". You will obtain "Domestic Violence".
