The handkerchiefs seem almost too convenient, almost like they were planted there to implicate Ah Lee. Far too much hearsay and circumstantial evidence for me. The changed statement however doesnt look good either........i'm sure there's another twist to come!!

So much circumstantial evidence. Leaving not one, but two, handerchiefs at the scene doesn't seem like a wise decision if someone could identify them, as it appears someone did the one with the pink border. I wonder if the ink bottle really belonged to the murderer, whomever it was, or was just ordinary refuse from the house itself. Looking forward to Part 4!

Thanks Cynthia. The evidence suggests the bottle belonged to Lee Guy but he was on very good terms with Mary and visited her often.

My goodness. There’s a lot going on in that trial and I can imagine the language barrier didn’t help. Great super sleuthing Jane.
