Examine Betty's bedroom | Chapter two - Bexhill Agatha Christie: The ABC Murders Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

In the bedroom of course look at yourself in the mirror (dressing table; 3 ego points). Notice (three clues): music stand, metronome and microphone (right bottom corner of the room).

Look at the dresses on the bed and a pair of new stockings on the pouf and (three clues) notice the invitation for a dance, menu for a stylish restaurant and a ticket for the film 'Impossible Love'.

Look at the bedside cabinet (two clues): notice a bottle of medicine and a case, which from take a key. Look also at the record sleeve (above the chest of drawers).

Opening the clock's secret compartment

Look at the clock standing on the chest of drawers. At the beginning set an hour hands to hour 12 on the dial (a trophy Four-leaf clover; 3 ego points). In the zoom find out that both wooden panels are blocked and a sheet of paper is blocked in the clock. Above the clock face there is metal disk which is stuck.

Click on one of the decoration in the clock's corners (the right one). Turn it (move mouse cursor to the right; hold LPM). Then do the same (but in the opposite direction) with clock's right leg. In both cases you will hear a characteristic sound. Open the right wooden panel and take a key.

Notice the hint written in the panel - three squares above the left line, one square above the right line, two squares below on the left and two on the right.

Now go to the clock's cover. Move the flap, you will see a mechanism with five gears. Below and above there are four buttons (in the corners). The hint you saw earlier is useful here. Left and upper button should be in the position number 3 (on the right), right and upper button in the position 1 (on the left). Both bottom buttons should be in the position 2 - in the middle.

After setting the buttons correctly, use the key (the one which you found in the clock) with left upper gear, then with bottom right and in the end with the middle gear. Correct setting of buttons and unlocked gears on the screenshot above.

You will unlock the metal disk, so use the same key with this disk (above the clock face). Open the left wooden panel and take two letters - from D. and Adrian (10 ego points).
