Captain Farthing:
"About time you showed up! I’ve got the Chief breathing down my neck to get this bloody murder sorted.
Unfortunately, those insufferable twits from homicide managed to arrive at the scene first. To no surprise, they’ve hit a wall and sent back a half-solved report.
Head to the mansion, identify the culprit, and get this case closed!"
Female voice:
"Welcome to the Carnegie mansion, detectives.
Please, come in. And don’t mind our unconscious guests. These parties usually get quite… frivolous… but tonight’s festivities were somewhat more dramatic.
Don’t drink the punch.
Of course, there is the dead body in the office. But between you and me, the man wasn’t half as appealing as his pocketbook.
Now that’s a fortune anyone would kill for…
Please do poke around and do your ‘oh-so-important’ business".
The illustrious Carnegie family are hosting a giant party of frivolity, laughter and a few spiked drinks. From Gatsby to Governors, everyone's invited for the riotous affair.
Unfortunately, the bloodied dead body suggests there are one too many guests. Was it a jealous lover? Or filthy blackmail? Or plain old fashioned Envy?
This is the bloody 1920's at it's worst.

Before you spoil the surprise for yourself, you should read the filled out police report again and cross-reference it with the suspect list.
Make any clever observations?
No?... no worries, we can't all be Sherlock.
The murderer is..... Reginald Garstang.
Why? It's quite elementary, old sport:
That morning, Carnegie had a long and heated telephone phone call to Arizona.
Correspondance was also discovered revealing that Carnegie was involved in a dispute with the Arizona Institute regarding his son's unsavoury behaviour. The institute is requesting a sizeable donation in order to cover up for Carnegie's son's mistakes.
The murder is revealed to be a well-known Professor.
The murderer stole an ancient Aztec artifact.
Piecing these clues together, we can see that the only professor on our suspect list is Reginald Garstang, who is an archeologist that works at the Arizona University.
And so we have our man! Good job, detective!
