In this chapter after breakfast Emily starts to feel woozy. Armstrong offers her a detainee but she does not accept it. Then once everyone leaves she notices a bee outside the window and can feel someone behind her. She automatically thinks it is Beatrice who is dripping wet from the River, and then she feels a prick on her neck. Then while everyone else is in the drawing room they think that Emily is the killer. But when they go in to the kitchen to check on her they find her dead, her body turning blue, and a bee outside the window. They then remember the rhyme with the bee. Once they examine her they realize that she was shot with a hypodermic syringe. Armstrong then admits that there was a syringe in his medical bag, so they all rush upstairs to check his room and it was gone. So, they all make a pact to lock away all potential weapons including Armstrong's medical case and Lombards gun. They then realize that the gun is missing and they cannot find it anywhere. When they go into the kitchen they find the syringe thrown out the window along with the sixth indian.
