Pressure

The sacked secretary-general says he was put under pressure. When asked by whom, he feels pressured and changes the subject. Some clues in this case come as riddles. The clues no longer hand you everything on a plate.

Suspects

• Avelino, the sacked secretary-general: He says he was put under pressure. When asked by whom, he feels pressured.
• Benedita, the chief of staff: She books the minister's meetings. The ones that don't get booked go through her too.
• Cid, the minister's driver: He always knows where the minister is going. He never knows where he went.
• Damiana, the journalist: She received an envelope with no sender. Inside was a printed email, which is a scandal in itself.
