Index of 32 pre-underground pieces of evidence

Five easily confused pairs
The wet and cracked tapes contain different recordings. The harp's mouth symbol uses the wet tape.
| Pair | Difference |
|---|---|
| Painted Model / Models | Single model on desk / multiple models in box |
| Two ripped photos | Freya's box / Poppy's metronome |
| Freya's diagram / Flora's diagram | Wall examination / Flora's suspicion reward |
| Potted Fruit / Flower | Greenhouse fruit / Penny's flower |
| Damaged / Cracked Tape | Garden water / crime-scene gramophone |
Evidence added underground and in the study
The evidence total increases after going underground. When checking pre-underground shortages, do not count inaccessible underground items as missing from the 32.
| Location | Evidence / action |
|---|---|
| Laboratory | Insect display, Secret Research, and the third research document |
| Lowest level | Building Plans、Children’s Book、Metal Rod、Damaged Photo |
| Study | Pin Board、Group Photo、Notebook、Burnt Items、Crossbow |
If you are stuck at 30–31 items
Flora's diagram is awarded at the end of her suspicion. Also check for missed Golden Beetle research, the attic's Reel Thingy, rooftop feathers and statue, and contents of opened boxes.
Find the English name in your case, then match its room and action to this table. Because photos and models look similar, do not dismiss them collectively as already collected.
