Head back through the bathroom and into the kitchen to the right. Examine the deactivated guard, then search the counter to get a bone saw and a glass jar. Use the bone saw on one of the bodies in the background to get a slice of meat, then put this into the jar. Talk to the chef, then use the growth chamber on the left. Purge the current project, then use your tissue paper on it (to determine the suspect is male).

Return to the group of guests and talk to Stepford about the broken guard in the kitchen, then go back to the kitchen and he will follow you there. Look at the blonde body in the human conveyor belt. Use the CI-Splitter on Stepford, then go back out of the kitchen and use the CI-Splitter on the guard at the bottom of the stairs. Select these options first:

• Personality: Stepford
• Memory: Guard-4
• Role: Guard-4

Now talk to the guard Dave Goldfarb. Use the CI-Splitter on the guard again and set all options to Stepford - he will automatically tell you that synths cannot enter the kitchen (so he is no longer a suspect).

Use your jar on the broken fish tank here to catch a glowing fish. Enter the bathroom again and go through the vent on the right. Use the jar here to get some light, then search the bag to find a note and read it in your inventory. Go back to the group of guests and show the note to Ran Shou-Man - he can't read English (so he is no longer a suspect).
