East Side Story (A Carol Reed Mystery)_Part4


THE SALT FIELD SHELTER

The administrator tells you that Viktor Wallin stayed at the shelter on occasion and he did receive his mail there. She adds that Viktor had a phobia about trains since his father was killed by a train at Fiskeby Station. Richard Svensson is receiving financial help from the shelter. The shelter is currently having difficulty with expenses and is about to lose its funding. The administrator informs you that she will allow you to read Viktor's mail should he receive any in the future. Exit to


The CITY LIBRARY

Punch up the computer and click on "The Fiskeby Station + Accident." Read about the suspicious death of Erik Nyman, the husband of Elvira Wallin - mother of Viktor. The Fiskeby Station has been closed for 50 years and rumor has it that the ghost of the stationmaster, Nyman, still haunts the premises. There is local argument about tearing down the station. Exit to

THE FISKEBY STATION

Walk around the station building and try all the doors. You'll have one close up of a window with wilted daisies, but you'll enjoy no entrance to this main building. Go around to the front of the building, where you are facing the main entrance. Turn right. Go forward twice along the tracks and turn left to see an old out house. Go forward and enter.

You can open door #1 and door #3 for no reason, but you need something to open #2. Exit the building and look right. Go forward once. Turn right. Go forward twice and turn right. Go forward to the yellow out building you can just see through the trees.

Look around carefully and try the doors. The gears symbol appears at the door above the concrete step. You need something to get in, which you don't yet have in your inventory. Leave the area and start back toward the station house. Turn right just before you get to the back yard. Turn right to see a dilapidated barn red house.

Go inside and look around. You'll find another inaccessible dark room. We'll return here later. You'll find Erik Nyman's dusty old hat on a bench. Turn left from the hat and click on the calendar to hear about what was happening in 1954 in Sweden. Look on the opposite wall next to the doorway and take the RUSTY KEY.

Look at the jumper cables on the work bench in the adjacent room. This must have been the Nyman's family residence while he was the stationmaster. Leave the house and go left near the station house to find the old yellow building again. Go around to the back and use your newly acquired key to get inside.

Inside, click on the old cardboard box on the shelf ahead of you. Just old Christmas cards in there. Apparently nothing of interest to your investigation. Swing right and open the green corner cupboard. Note the scribbling on the back of the door. Take the bottle of Kentucky Bulleit Bourbon from the top shelf. Examine the bottle in inventory to see its a BOURBON BOTTLE WITH SOMETHING IN IT.

Click on the bottle in inventory and use the modified coat hanger to reveal a LETTER AND NOTE FROM BOTTLE. Its a letter from a doctor to Erik Nyman concerning his congenital infertility. Perhaps his disappointment in not being able to father children led to his drinking and suicide? Note the coded scrap of paper attached. There's more to this story.....
Exit the building. Go back to the main station building and exit to

THE SALT FIELD SHELTER

Check with the administrator to find that Viktor has received no new mail. Exit the shelter and go

HOME

When you enter, your phone is ringing. Click on it to receive a message from Richard Svensson. He wants to talk to you and he cautions you to be ready for something unusual. Exit and go to

RICHARD SVENSSON'S APARTMENT

Richard tells you that someone had threatened Viktor. He adds that he lost a key that Viktor had given him, but he presents a note. Richard needs help understanding it and is confused. He has trouble concentrating due to symptoms caused by his methadone treatment. Carefully study the note in inventory.
