The Weapons

 

Candlestick

This elaborate candlestick is usually left in the centre of the Dining Room table, but was found packed neatly away in a cupboard in the Dining Room.

Dagger

A sharp, antique dagger from the 17th century - though Dr. Black probably used it as a letter opener as it was normally to be found in the Lounge. However this deadly item was found on the floor of the Study.

Lead Piping

A piece of lead piping that was kept in the Conservatory in case the Kitchen sink or any of the rusting pipes of the old house started to leak. But the police found it on a table in the Lounge.

Revolver

Dr. David Black's favourite weapon. Normally kept locked away in one of the drawers of the desk in the Study, it was found lying in the middle of the Library floor.

Rope

A nasty piece of cord that tied back the curtains in the Ballroom, which had been threatening to fall off for some time. But why was it found under the Billiard table?

Spanner

This sturdy instrument, kept in a cupboard in the Kitchen, was found in the doorway to the Hall.
