3 Loose Floorboard As you look at the floorboards in this corner of the shack, it's clear one of them isn't quite level with the others.
  • 29
4 Loose Floorboard The hollow space underneath the floorboards is dark and damp. You can barely make out the mixture of sand and sawdust below.
  • 67
5 Loose Floorboard You stick your hand in and start combing through the sand. Dry, not like outside. Fine dust... and then -- something hard, wrapped in paper.
  • 31
6 Loose Floorboard You return the board to its original position.

11 You What's in here?
  • 12
12 Loose Floorboard Nothing particular catches your eye. Looks like more reeds. There might be something hidden inside the sand, though.

14 Loose Floorboard A small cylindrical object. You pull it out -- a bullet.
  • 16

38 You "Look, a bullet! Not for a breechloader, though..."
  • 42
39 You "Lieutenant, a bullet!"
  • 43
40 You This bullet isn't for a breechloader like the murder weapon?
  • 49
41 You A bullet, interesting.
  • 50
42 Kim Kitsuragi The lieutenant studies the bullet in your hand. "Still, interesting."
  • 44
43 Kim Kitsuragi "Yes, for muzzleloaders like the ones officers of the RCM carry. Interesting."

  • 45
45 Kim Kitsuragi "Someone hid it as extra ammunition?"
  • 46
46 You "Ruby?"
  • 47
47 Kim Kitsuragi "I don't know, could be. The washerwoman was clearly withholding something -- and she *does* rent this place out to people."
  • 52
48 You "Let's go, then." [Leave.]
49 Loose Floorboard The floorboard isn't interested -- maybe the Washerwoman is? You have enough to confront her with.
  • 51
50 Loose Floorboard The floorboard doesn't care -- but maybe the Washerwoman does? You have enough to confront her with.

  • 62

61 Kim Kitsuragi "Either way," he looks at the bullet again, "this is enough to confront her with."
  • 48
62 Kim Kitsuragi "That's a big leap, but from what I've heard, this Ruby sounds pretty desperate. Either way," he looks at the bullet again, "this is enough to confront the washerwoman."
  • 48
