Hey Leo, where are you?
Cinema is closed! Power outage. I'm heading to the office now.

I'm here. I have the code.
Deduction Phase
1. Does Leo's alibi (being at the movies) hold up?
2. Look at the text messages. Where did Leo go after 9:05 PM?
3. What is the "Smoking Gun" (Final Proof) that Leo is guilty?
