The Cross-Examination

Two of the statements below are false. Call both. Three wrong calls and the case goes cold.

The Cloister Scandal at Wexford College — the Crewe cross-examination

The founder's feast ended early; the library's rarest volume left earlier still. Every professor turned in to a room off the old stone corridor, each with an alibi the porter cannot quite confirm. Reconstruct that corridor, room by room. 5 professors, 5 rooms, and no two accounts that quite agree — start with Provost Crewe.
