Nadia decides to study the pumpkin itself. She crouches in the strawberry bed and looks close. There are faint drag marks in the dirt and a single muddy footprint near the leaves. She measures the print with her ruler. It's small. Way too small for a grown-up.

Nadia makes a cast of the footprint with mud and a paper cup, just like her detective book said. While it dries, she checks it against the wellies by the shed. One tiny green pair matches: the youngest Lim kid, Theo. At breakfast she tells the grown-ups, and Theo owns up. Case closed.
