Case 1: The Death of Mr. Blanco

Year 1932, Tudor Mansion, current residence of the Blanco Lords. Edward Blanco is an important and wealthy businessman, whose family made a fortune in World War I providing medicine to the front. He today directs with his partner and personal doctor, DR. CARDINAL, the almighty "White Pharmaceutical" and lives in a luxurious mansion with his wife, Ms. BLANCO, who is currently recovering from a serious fall from his mount when he was horseback riding. His nephew and heir, SR. DEL BOSQUE, lives with them together with SR. CHARCOAL, the butler, and MRS. PERLA, the housekeeper, although it is very common that she also spends the night in DR. CARDINAL. Lately they usually receive long visits from the SRA. CORAL and her dog Cuqui de ella, Coral is a pianist and a personal friend of Del Bosque and seems to be suffering from some health problem that forces her to rest. As usual, family and guests had lunch together in the dining room at 1:00 p.m. At 1:30 p.m. Mr. Blanco has gone up to his room alleging great drowsiness and commenting that he would come down at 5:00 p.m. to have tea with everyone. At 5:10 p.m., and aware of his iron punctuality, Ms. WHITE has sent the butler to her husband's room, finding the man's lifeless body next to a suicide note...
