Dialogue

Office

• Third Valet (Works for the Ministry of Finance): We just now heard a shot! We all ran to find out what happened. I believe it was the red ghost. A few nights ago, I saw the ghost myself! I turned a corner and saw him disappear right through this door. Dressed in red with an unutterably horrific expression!
• Counselor Hervé LeGall (Assistant to the victim): My name is LeGall, Counselor to Director of Finance Beaudoin. He locked himself in his office well over a day ago. For some weeks he's been in a state of agitation. It's very sad that it ended this way.
• Second Valet (Works for the Ministry of Finance): The legend must be true! Long ago a Bavarian murderer was executed nearby, and his red ghost has haunted this palace to this day! Have you seen the painting? It appeared from nowhere just yesterday.
• First Valet (Works for the Ministry of Finance): I've actually overheard many very ghostly noises and even the ghost speaking! Through that very door, Beaudoin alone in the room and the ghost speaking with a terrifying accent. I heard this several times.

Gambling Den

• Marc André (Creditor to victim): I don't care! You owe me!
• Man: But I have no money! Please!
• Marc André: Shut up while I beat you to a bloody pulp!
• M. Sagne (card player): It couldn't have been Beaudoin who cheated, he lost everything. I've seen the papers, his bank is furious! He owes his creditor thousands! Someone was cheating, but who?

Von Glück Mansion

• Frau Brigitta von Glück (Wife of Friedrich and acquaintance of the victim): My husband can be very, very jealous, but he isn't the sort of man to kill anyone!
• Herr Friedrich von Glück (Husband of Brigitta and acquaintance of the victim): I do not answer to members of the working class.

Apothecary Shop

• M. Durand (Apothecary): Yes, I made that elixir. It's just a few herbs tossed together to make something that stinks. A wealthy fellow, Beaudoin, came in. Wanted something to keep spirits away. I told him he was a fool, but he paid well enough for me to concoct this.

Conclusion
