Whose Locker Belongs to Whom?

Locker 1 Content

• a glass with a fingerprint.
• A book titled ‘Lemurian Cultural Investigation‘
• A book titled ‘Primary Source Studies: Lemuria (1200-1300)‘
• A book titled ‘The Archaeological Sites of Xenopolis‘

Reasoning

At Locker 4 in the Locker room, the instruction note clearly says Oriel is looking into the precise origin of parts. This means he is not involved in the lab room. Therefore, the glass found in Locker 1 should be Oriel Toussaint’s. Why? Because the book had all the kinds of stuff about Lemurian origin. According to Dr. Nowak’s lab notes, Dr. Toussaint says parts Lemurian in origin. Hence, It can be deduced that Locker 1 belongs to Oriel Toussaint

Locker 2 Content

1. Calendar
2. A questionable book “How To Make Friends, Keep Them, And Use Them.“
3. The Harmony Foundation book.

Reasoning

It can only be the locker of a saboteur. Firstly, there is no good when the Harmony Foundation is involved. Secondly, the book has an ulterior motive. The fingerprint found on the book is orange colored which means the owner of the locker was eating greasy chips. He was not serious! Hence, the Locker owner should be Eugene Marmot.

Locker 3 Content

1. Jack’s coat
2. A book titled ‘Organic Chemistry, 3rd Ed.‘
3. A book titled ‘Key Mechanical Theory‘
4. Device operating notes.

Reasoning

The locker belongs to Jack due to the name tag found on the coat. He is also well-versed in how to operate the device. One’s access card is revoked whereas another has its access card. Seems to be a responsible person who maintains the lab notes. This suggests the locker belonged to Jack Nowak.

Locker 4 Content

1. A Leadership Training book
2. A crushed note
3. A directional note

Reasoning

The Leadership Training book suggests that the owner of the locker is attempting to improve his leadership skills. The immediate requirement among the bunch suggests it can be locker of Marie. The crushed note and directional note confirm that the locker belongs to Marie Westlake.

Prints

1. Oriel Toussaint (Glass)
2. Marie Westlake (Ink on Paper)
3. Nathan Hoyle (active print from holding door)
4. Tim Spender (Whiskey)
5. Jack Nowak (glassware)
6. Eugene Marmot (Locker 2 book)

Reasoning

The print on the reading glass along with Lemurian books indicates it should belong to Oriel Toussaint.

The guy holding the lab door speaks to both Marie and Tim revealing their first name. Marie is the team leader which means that she was the one who was in charge of the whole team. She should be the one who wrote clipboard notes in the locker room for direction. Therefore the fingerprint should be of Marie Westlake.

The lab door that the Board President is holding has an active fingerprint of himself. Therefore, it can only be Nathan Hoyle.

According to the crushed note found in Locker 4, Mr. Spender was reported for drinking. Tim also had a dialogue where he vouched for her capability. This suggests that Tim is superior. The bickering can be due to bad blood between both of them but it proves that the name of the half-bald guy is Tim Spender whose fingerprint is on whiskey.

The Locker 4 directing to clean the glassware gives the surname Dr. Nowak. The only one who has an access card can access the lab and clean the glassware. The note on the clipboard also mentioned to dress something warm and locker 3 has a coat that belongs to Jack.

The Locker 4 says that Eugene is assigned to do Janitorial work. Mr. Marmot‘s access card is revoked according to Dr. Nowak’s lab notes. While doing the janitorial work, there was a greasy chip bag found indicating the janitor was eating chips. On the fingerprint, the orange-colored fingerprint found was due to eating greasy chips.

Controls

1. Puzzle switch – Eugene Marmot
2. Control Panel (Green) – Tim Spender
3. Control Panel (Red Button) – Eugene Marmot
4. Control Panel (Red Button) – Jack Nowak

Reasoning

• The only irresponsible saboteur can be Eugene Marmot as he caught fire. Unless someone activates the device, it cannot power up. Therefore, both sides i.e. at the Puzzle switch and the Red button on the control panel should be of Eugene Marmot.
• The fingerprint on the big Red button is identical to the fingerprint found on the glassware. Hence, it can be Jack Nowak‘s fingerprint.
• Marie saw Tim touching the machine. It could have been the Red button but after finding all the previous evidence it can be concluded that the leftover fingerprint was of Tim Spender‘s.

Names

1. Oriel Toussaint
2. Nathan Hoyle
3. Jack Nowak
4. Eugene Marmot
5. Tim Spender
6. Marie Westlake

Reasoning

1. His identity was revealed already in Constriction and Auction House cases.
2. The Board President’s name is revealed in the crushed paper found in the Locker 4.
3. The Locker 3 & 4 pieces of evidence suggest the name; Jack from coat and Nowak from glassware. Additionally, there are also Dr. Nowak’s current lab notes.
4. The man on fire in the Lab room does not have an access card. The only guy whose access card was revoked is Eugene Marmot. The first name was obtained from Locker 4 note and the surname was obtained from Dr. Nowak’s lab notes.
5. The man arguing with Marie is Tim according to the Board President’s dialogue. The surname can be found in the Locker 4 crushed note. Both had bad blood! Why? Because Marie reported Tim on multiple occasions.
6. The woman should be Marie according to the Board President’s dialogue. The surname can be found in the Locker 4 crushed note.

Events

Marie Westlake‘s team worked to reconstruct the device. After performing tests without approval, Eugene Marmot had his access card revoked.

On the day of board inspection, the lab was unlocked to allow Nathan Hoyle and Tim Spender to enter. This gave Eugene Marmot the opportunity to follow them in.

When Eugene Marmot used both hands to touch the controls of the device, it activated and he caught fire.
