We arrived at the house of Mary and Patrick. Everything seemed normal. We went to ask some questions to Mary. She told us the story of what happened and where she was. She explained that Patrick was tired and didn't want to go eat out, which they usually do on Thursdays, and she suggested that she just make supper at home. She had a leg of lamb lying in the freezer, but she didn't have vegetables, so she went to the grocer to get some and when she came back, he was lying dead on the floor. Patrick had had a big blow on the back of his head so the murderer must have had a heavy and big weapon, almost certainly a large piece of metal. We could see this because the doctor said that his skull was smashed all to pieces. It also happened quickly because Mary wasn't long gone. So, the murderer must have taken the weapon with him or thrown it on the premises. We first thought that it was a heavy metal vase or a big spanner, but Mary said that they didn't have those things lying around. We investigated a little more but couldn't find anything. In conclusion, the murderer and the weapon are still unknown.
