It was definitely Lord Vernon and Yoshi. As Karl (our detective) suspected Lord Vernon was in on it. But who else?
"As the orchestra began, Lord Vernon turned to Yoshi. "Care to dance, my dear?"
"With you?" Yoshi smiled. "Delighted."
Olivia and I watched them stroll out to the floor. They were a graceful, well-matched pair. "Any news?" asked Olivia.
"Our case," I replied, watching the dancers, "is solved."
Only when Karl saw them together did he figure out who Lord Vernon's accomplice was.
She wanted revenge. Lord Vernon needed the chip. I think Yoshi stole the chip. At showtime, she went in first, followed by Dushka and Lord Vernon. After she exited, she could've stolen the chip, but before Dushka entered.
Yoshi made the phone calls to Olivia and Chen, posing as Dushka. When they left, Lord Vernon planted the evidence against Dushka.
Dushka had "spent the afternoon with Lord Vernon at the famed Singapore Bird Park....we spent three hours staring at cockatoos." Lord Vernon could have easily taken a few strands of Dushka's marigold yellow silk. After spending 3 hours with her, he probably smelt like her as well, but he could've very easily sprayed the scent of lilies of the valley.
Case solved. If a FlyerTalker wins the contest, how about a postcard?
