After recent discoveries related to rituals and occult practices, Arthur Havelock decided to focus on analyzing all the evidence gathered. He carefully went through the records, documents, found objects and other evidence that he had. Havelock knew that every detail could be key, and it required a particularly careful approach.

He began by analyzing Lord Livingston's diary. In this diary, there were mentions of mysterious meetings and plans that could be related to the ritual. Havelock discovered that the diary often contained entries about nocturnal meetings and strange behaviors of family members. These recordings allowed him to link different pieces of information and identify patterns in the behavior of suspects.

The next step was to analyze the ring and other objects found. Havelock paid special attention to the symbols on the ring, as they were associated with the ritual. He analyzed how the symbols on the ring correlated with the symbols found in ancient books. This allowed him to better understand what kind of ritual could be associated with the ring and how it could influence the actions of the perpetrator.

Upon deeper analysis, Havelock discovered several key connections between the evidence. Firstly, it turned out that the entries in Livingston's diary coincided with the dates and times when strange phenomena and incidents occurred in the mansion. This created a connection between ritual practices and the events that led to the murder.

Secondly, Havelock found a match between the symbols on the ring and those depicted in the caches of the mansion. These symbols, as it turned out, had a special meaning in the context of rituals associated with the ring. This led him to the idea that the ring could be part of a more complex plan related to the Livingston inheritance.

Based on the evidence gathered and the new connections, Havelock began to develop several theories about who might have committed the crime. He considered various scenarios:

One possible scenario was that the murder could be related to the inheritance. Lord Livingston was known for his plans to change his will, and this could create tension in the family. The suspects were those family members who could benefit from the death of the lord and the change in the will.

The second theory was based on the fact that the murder could be connected with a ritual. The ring and symbols indicated that someone might be trying to complete the ritual or use it to achieve personal goals. This could be due to manipulation within the family or with external occult groups.

A third theory suggested that the murder may have been part of a broader scheme involving secret societies or groups that only a few knew about. These groups may have had an interest in the Livingstone legacy or in the ritual practices associated with the ring.

Havelock reviewed the list of suspects based on new evidence and theories. He identified several key figures:

- **Lady Eleanor**: Her behavior and emotional reaction could indicate a possible motive related to changes in the will and family conflicts.

- **Robert Livingston**: His passion for art and isolation may have concealed deeper motives related to ritual or inheritance.

- **Victoria Livingston**: Her strained relationship with her brother and other family members could be related to the desire to receive an inheritance or influence the will.

- ** Dr. Morley and Jonathan Reed**: Both may have had their own hidden interests and connections, which could be important for understanding what is happening.

Havelock knew that he would have to conduct additional interrogations and explore new theories. He decided to focus on those aspects of the investigation that could confirm or refute his current assumptions. This included re-examining the evidence, conducting additional interviews, and possibly interacting with experts in the field of occult sciences.
