Once I show him my detective badge, he leads me into a private room to read. I found out that Mr. Howell killed his wife by putting the poison arsenic in her drink. She died 30 minutes to an hour later. Right as I figure this out, I get two texts, one from Maya and one from the police telling me that they each found something. Maya figured out that the poison used was arsenic. The police found a box of articles about poisons, especially
