    §4. Read the pool book and sign in#

    Read the book in the pool area for the reception computer's credentials. The creator narrates the username as night shift and the password as late checkout. Copy the exact characters displayed in your book, including spacing, when entering them.

    Return to the computer and open the emails and check-in records. Read the Room 2 record and the green book account of a suspicious visitor at the pool. These are the sources used for the final deduction.

  5. 5. Compare the dentist with his declaration

    Compare the jewelry claim and vote the Dentist.

    Success check
    The recorded run confirms a correct accusation.
    If it remains unclear
    Read both check-in log and pool witness information.

    Read the supporting evidence

    §5. Compare the dentist with his declaration#

    The dentist claims a valuable necklace was stolen. His Room 2 check-in log says Valuables Declared: NONE and records a statement that he brought no jewelry. This is a direct contradiction to test against his claim.

    The creator also cites the green book placing him near the pool around the robbery window. Complete the case information, end the investigation and vote for the Dentist. The video explicitly confirms that this is correct.

    Room 2 check-in log for the Dentist lists no valuables and no jewelry on the trip.
