Tallula suspects you

You were expecting Tallula not to pick anybody, sheepish as she was, afraid to get mixed up with such personalities. To your surprise and annoyance, she pointed you out from among the crowd, gesturing with her violin's bow in your direction.

Dee seemed pleased for half a second before regaining her usual neutral expression. "Malcolm Wolf? Why do you suspect him?" she asked, placing one hand under her chin.

Tallula gulped, then averted her eyes as she laid out her accusation. "Shortly after I'd walked in on Ms. Croft and Mr. Wolf, he cornered me in the third floor hallway and... and acted quite harshly towards me! In that moment, all I could think is that he wanted to intimidate me into silence about what I'd seen. He didn't want anyone knowing about what had happened between Ms. Croft and himself in the study! That makes him the most suspicious in my eyes..."

Linda shook her head, wearing a stern expression. It was just like her to jump to your defense. "You're wrong! The one who explained Wanda Croft's predicament to the rest of us was Malcolm! That directly contradicts your accusation just now, that he wanted to intimidate you into silence."

"Y-You're right! I should just keep quiet!" Tallula wept, hiding her face in her hands and shaking her head.

"No. I think that he did want to intimidate you. Not into total silence. Just into speaking out. In situations like this. You overcame that intimidation. You're stronger than you think," Dee interjected, keeping her arms behind her back as she paced the floor. "Now, it's my turn. To state my own observations."

That other detective sure had a way of controlling the situation...
