Return out and give the fruit juice to the tramp. Go forward along the boulevard to see that the police officer is blocking your path to the barge. Go back to the institute and head inside to the study. Examine the fireplace. Turn all 4 knobs so the rays point to the middle, and the doors will open. Use your matches to start a fire, then put your wet cigarette in front of the fire until it dries out.
Return to the police officer and give him the cigarette. Talk to the tramp once more, then go inside and talk to the porter (and the head of the institute). Go back outside and along the boulevard, then descend to the barge.
Barge

Examine the police tape, removing it one piece at a time in the correct order. Enter the steering room for a hidden object minigame, which results in finding a photograph, a lighter and an oil container.
Head right to the loading room. Look under the stairs to find a lamp - use the oil container and the lighter on this. Find 12 photo pieces here, then place them together to make a pieced together photograph. Look at the scene of the crime, then find 20 differences in the next minigame. You will end up with a penknife and a flashlight. Look under the table, then use your flashlight here. Use your penknife on the board. Pick up the tile fragment and letter.

The Lab
Talk to the head of the institute and she will take a look at your tile. Examine the cupboards for a hidden object minigame, which results in finding a burner. Next look at the lab table, and place all the objects over their matching shadows. Now examine the centrifuge on the lab table. You need to put 8 test tubes into the centrifuge so that the arms are all balanced. The test tubes in the rack are arranged from lightest on the left, up to heaviest on the right. If the tubes are numbered 1-10 in the rack, place them in the centrifuge as follows:
Back out and talk to the head of the institute again. Return to the lab table and examine the burner. Turn on the burner, then click on a test tube to load it. Click on the test tube to move it in front of the burner, then remove it again when the gauge is in the middle. Repeat this multiple times until it is sealed completely.

The door in the desk is locked, so use the key on it and take out a granite tile and a business card. Look under the desk to see another puzzle. Here you need to rotate the tiles so that 4 you can see on your objects appear in the middle column:
- Top Row: Symbol from fresco
- Second Row: Symbol from Sphinx lithograph
- Third Row: Symbol from Bastet figurine
- Bottom Row: Symbol from mummified cat
Back out, then examine the desk again. Take the tile fragment from the opened drawer. Back out again and you will make a phone call.

Play the hidden object minigame, which results in finding 8 stone fragments. Back out and talk to Menekot again. Examine the armchair on the right and notice the 8 hieroglyphs across the top. Back out and examine the chest on the left. Look at both sides of the chest and insert the stone fragments into the gaps. Now rotate the symbols to match the 8 hieroglyphs on the armchair. Open the chest to get 12 stone fragments. Close the chest again.
Go to the table on the left and place the stone fragments here, then piece them together (note that you can rotate them, but also double-click to flip them). You have to find something to glue them together. Back out and head outside.
