Salim went with Mikhail into the garage for his car. The suspects Joseph, George, Jack were allowed to leave. Klancy, Fushichin stayed at the mansion along with the servants that evening.
Salim returned at midnight. He reported that he successfully brought Mikhail to the detention center.
The next day Fushichin, Salim and Klancy ate breakfast and talked about the case at the dining hall. The sound of people running around at the main hall was heard in the dining hall. Soon, Hori came into the dining hall with Hellen, Galtomor, Mew, Marian and Succi.
"Fancy to see you, I'm assuming you're feeling fine if you were released from the hospital." said Klancy with a smile.
"Yes, aside from a few bruises I am perfectly fine." said Hori as she smiled back.
Mew jumped and hugged Hori from behind.
“There is no way those bastards have been feeding you with something good, Jude, make something delicious for my little sister.”

"On it." said Jude.
Jude exited the room.
Soon Jude came into the room with Yumiko with drinks and plates of food for them.
After feasting and relaxing the detectives soon got back to their jobs.
"If you're feeling up to it, I would like to take your alibi, miss Hori." said Galtomor.
"Okay, but jeez, don't call me miss." said Hori sarcastically.
Klancy, Galtomor and Hori went to Hori’s room.
Hori sat on the chair next to the desk while Klancy and Galtomor sat on the bed.
"I'm assuming, you heard what happened to your father from the others?" said Klancy.
"Yes, it is...terrible." said Hori with depression.
"And what is going to happen to your mother?" asked Galtomor.
If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
"Yes..." said Hori.
“We know most of the events that happened during the day of the murder thanks to getting everyone's else's testimony. Regardless, we need to cross check people's testimonies.You don't need to be detailed tho. So, start from noon of the day of the murder."" said Klancy.
"Okay." said Hori and began her alibi.
“12 am - Was in my room and played on my PC there.
14 pm - Was bored, I wandered and I met Mew at hallway 1A. We decided to play basketball and went to the basketball court. We played for a while there.
15 PM- I entered the tennis room to change my sweaty clothes. After a while I got out with my changed clothes. We continued to play for a while then entered the tennis court to play but we got hungry.
17 PM- We entered the dining hall to meet Yumiko and Jude and they told us to find the others for dinner.
I went upstairs and found Dad, George and Nile chatting. Dad and Nile’s faces looked red, strange.
"Should we tell her?" asked Galtomor.
"Tell what?" gasped Hori.
"Move on with the testimony." said Klancy sternly.
Hori continued saying "I asked them to go to the dining hall for dinner. Then I went down to the dining hall shortly.
18 PM - After dinner I decided to leave the main hall and went outside. There I met Joseph and gave him a gift. I wanted to make it seem like it was for Joseph. But it really wasn’t. It was one of the personally baked cupcake that I wanted to give to Mew and I wanted a third person’s opinion on it.
After that we exchanged a few words then I went back into the house.
19 PM- I entered the mansion. I went upstairs to the second floor to meet mom in the family room. I entered my own room. Just as I entered and locked my room something sharp was injected to my neck.
And I think I passed out then.”
"Was probably a tranquilizer." said Galtomor.
Then when I woke up next, I was tied to a chair. I tried arguing and tried to release myself but they...beat me up...I was so scared. I thought I would die and never see my family again. Thank you for saving me, I really can't say that enough times." said Hori with happy eyes.
"No sweat. We're just doing our jobs." said Galtomor with a smirk.
"If you didn't know, Jackiel Wain actually confirmed what Hori is saying at the detention center. He knocked out Hori with a syringe. Apparently Nile had contacted him on the phone and told him that the trolley was the safest place to hide. Nile contacted him while being in the recroom, saying that it was safe to carry Hori to the trolley then. That's how he was able to navigate to it." explained Klancy.
"I see." said Galtomor.
The three of them exited Hori's room. Hori decided to separate from them and entered Mew's room.
Klancy and Galtomor entered the dining hall where the other detectives were. But one person was missing.
"Where is Fushichin?" asked Klancy.
"He is checking on Manish at the inspection room." said Salim.
"Oh, Manish is here?" gasped Galtomor and with a smile added "Thank god, if anyone would crack the code on that computer, it's him."
"Yes." said Klancy.
"But let's just not rely on him, we need to find the culprit ourselves." said Hellen.
"It's entirely possible there is nothing worthwhile on that computer." said Salim.
"True. So let's begin with our suspects. Or rather, I would like to decrease the suspects, clear people who are not able to kill Tenma. The killing had to have happened between 21 to 23 pm." said Klancy.
