F. Teacher’s Notes (å ççšã®ã¡ã¢ – Sensei-yÅ no memo)
- The Solution (解決 – Kaiketsu):
- Killer (ç¯äºº – Hannin): Dr. Lena Hanson
- Motive (åæ© – DÅki): Professor Finch said the Abydos Dagger was his discovery only. He said Lena’s name would not be on the important paper. He told her to leave the team. Lena was very angry because she worked hard and he stole her idea.
- (ãã£ã³ãææã¯ã¢ããã¹ã®çå£ã¯èªåã ãã®çºèŠã ãšèšããŸããããªãã®ååã¯éèŠãªè«æã«èŒããªããšèšããŸãããããŒã ãå»ãããã«èšããŸããããªãã¯äžçæžåœåããã®ã«åœŒãã¢ã€ãã£ã¢ãçãã ã®ã§ããšãŠãæããŸããã)
- Method (æ¹æ³ – HÅhÅ): Lena went to Finch’s tent. They argued. He was mean. She saw the dagger on his desk, took it in anger, and stabbed him.
- (ãªãã¯ãã£ã³ãã®ãã³ããžè¡ããŸãããå£è«ã«ãªããŸãããåœŒã¯æå°æªã§ãããæºã®äžã®çå£ãèŠãŠãæãã§ãããæã«åãã圌ãåºããŸããã)
- Critical Clues (éèŠãªæããã – JÅ«yÅna tegakari):
- Ben Carter’s Clue: Ben saw Dr. Lena Hanson walking to Professor Finchâs tent late at night. She looked very angry. (This shows Lena was near Finch’s tent and angry, and her alibi might be a lie.)

- Key Red Herrings (äž»ãªåœã®æããã – Omona nise no tegakari):
- Marcus Thorne: Argued with Finch about money (Lena heard this). Yousef saw him looking nervous near Finch’s tent. Ivan found fabric like his jacket. (Makes him look guilty.)
