Searching for More Evidence

You decide to search the study and the rest of the manor for more physical evidence. As you move around the room, you notice a faint smudge of lipstick on the edge of the desk.

You recognize the color as a unique shade, one that you've seen Emma wear before. You make a mental note to ask her about it later.

As you continue to search, you find a torn piece of fabric caught in the window lock. The fabric appears to be from a black glove, and you wonder if it might be a clue.

You also discover a hidden key in the bookshelf, which unlocks a small safe in the wall. Inside, you find a USB drive containing a cryptic message:

"Meet me at the old oak at midnight. Come alone."

The message is not signed, but it seems clear that Richard was involved in something secretive.

What do you want to do next?

A) Question Emma about the lipstick and the message
B) Question James about the possible blackmail and the cryptic message
C) Question Sarah about the torn fabric and the black glove
D) Investigate the old oak and see if you can find any leads
