Look down at the cabinet below and set the symbols appropriate (first the one of the house with 1 window, then 2 windows, etc). Take the letter from the right door and read it - it contains anagrams of animals. Back out and look at the suspect list. Based on the letter, circle these names:

• Herald the Mole
• Amelia the Goose
• Bill the Otter
• Lily the Horse
• John the Crow
