The next day Holmes got a note on his door that read "? Crimson. He broke your window." Which of the three Crimson brothers should Sherlock Holmes question about the incident?

Mystery three
Old Mr. Teddy was found dead in his study by Mr. Fiend.
Mr Fiend recounted his dismal discovery to the police:
'I was walking by Mr. Teddy's house when I thought I would just pop in
for a visit. I noticed his study light was on and I decided to peek in
from the outside to see if he was in there. There was frost on the
window, so I had to wipe it away to see inside. That is when I saw his
body. So I kicked in the front door to confirm my suspicions of foul
play. I called the police immediately afterward.'
The officer immediately arrested Mr. Fiend for the murder of Mr. Teddy.
How did he know Mr. Fiend was lying?

Did you figure them out? Answers below:
ANSWERS:
1. It was the Maid. She said she was getting the mail but there is no

not have wiped it off to discover Mr. Teddy's body
