Hitman 3 Death in the Family Complete Guide

Death in the Family in Hitman 3 is a murder mystery quest where you have to unearth who killed Zachary Carlisle in the Carlisle Manor. To do so, you will have to look for hints and collect clues by investigating several people and rooms.

To gather clues, players will have to investigate Zachary’s bedroom, Emma & Gregory’s room, and Mr. Fernsby’s office. After getting to the bottom of the case, players will have to accuse any of Mr. Fernsby, Zachary(himself), or Emma for Zachary’s murder in the Carlisle Manor.

So the two critical questions here are:

1. Who Killed Zachary in ‘Death in the Family’?

Emma is the family person who murdered Zachary Carlisle. She plotted Zachary’s killing when Montgomery Carlisle was killed as she missed out on the family fortune.

Declaring Emma as Zachary’s killer will unlock A Matter of Justice achievement.

2. How to Find it Out Through Clues?

i. Disguising Agent 47 as the Private Investigator

You will come across the real private investigator in the courtyard. Knock him out, steal his clothes, and hide his body to disguise Agent 47 as a detective. Now you are set to enter the main scene. To do so, creep into the house through a window lying at the main doors’ right. 

ii. Investigating Zachary’s Bedroom

To unearth the mystery of Zachary’s death, investigate his bedroom. You will come across the following six clues to advance further in the quest:

1. Scanning Zachary’s body through your camera.
2. Scanning the bottle and glass of whiskey.
3. Heading into the secret room by pulling a book from the bookshelf
4. Acquiring the Mansion Floor Plan found in the secret room.
5. Examining Zachary’s laptop found close to the fireplace.
6. Inspecting Zachary’s Suicide Note near the fireplace.

iii. Investigating Mr. Fernsby’s Office

After collecting evidence and clues from Zachary’s bedroom, go to Mr. Fernsby’s Office. He is the butler of the mansion whose office is locked. To get inside, look for a lockpick or a crowbar. You can find one behind the Greenhouse or outside the mansion beside the van.

Remember to obtain the Mansion Masterkey from a bookshelf in Mr. Fernsby’s office.

These are the clues you must collect once Agent 47 is inside Mr. Fernsby office:

1. Investigate Zachary’s half-burnt diary at the fireplace.
2. Examine a list created by Mr. Fernsby lying on his desk.
3. Look into Mr. Fernsby’s pills that can found beside the mirror.

With the evidence you have gathered, you are free to declare Mr. Fernsby as Zachary’s murder. This will unlock A Matter of Loyalty achievement.

However, you must know that Mr. Fernsby is innocent here. He is not the person who killed Zachary.

iv. Secret Room Inside Emma’s Bedroom

Here, you will find a walking crane that can lead you to the Secret Room on the first floor when used on the mysterious switch. Inside the secret room, you will find a suicide note that Montgomery once wrote. This note can be used to persuade Alexa that Zachary’s committed suicide.

Upon doing so, you will be rewarded with A Matter of Guilt achievement.

Although, this would not be the correct decision as another person killed Zachary.

We come to know that Zachary did not commit suicide by matching the handwriting of the suicide note with his writing. Both writing styles are distinct and not similar at all. 

v. Investigating Emma and Gregory’s Room

1. Investigate the letter Emma received from her mother.
2. Examine the Greenhouse Key Chain.
3. Scan footprints seen near the fireplace.

Go to the Greenhouse from here. You will find a poisonous flower near the Distillation Kit and an open book that you will have to scan.

After gathering the above evidence, you will surely know that Emma is the one who killed Zachary Carlisle.
