SCOTLAND YARD BRIEFING:
A dangerous chemist is loose on the streets of London. There seems to be some deeper element hidden within her criminal methods – after determining where she commits her murders, perhaps understanding how she kills her victims will help us reveal her final destination.

passing behind a gallery.

impersonating a doctor. She evaded capture by taking a taxi, bus, then 2 taxis.

Case No. 9
The suspect next arranged for a minor poisoning involving the herbs in a stuffed duck, concealing her
subsequent murder with a similar substance. Finding that she had already visited everywhere
reachable in one step from her current location, she then took a taxi
back to where she’d just come from, the only time on her journey she ever re-visited a location.
She then took another taxi, a bus, a train, and finally a chain of
5 taxis that crossed at least one small body of water.

Case No. 10
The suspect then murdered her son by sneaking pills into his after-dinner chocolates. After committing this
