You make your way through the things lying around the room and open the closet door. The closet smells of moth poison and is full of clothes, some very old and some very new. There is also a police uniform hanging, and on a nail, you notice a large key ring with three keys.

An unexpected beeping sound paralyzes you. You laugh when you see that it's just a little mouse scurrying across the floor! You lose interest and want to walk away, but the mouse darts right at you! Something is wrong here, you think, and you want to kick the little animal away from you. It's unnecessary because the mouse suddenly rolls over on its side and lies completely still. It was dead!
