“Right. First of all, as I previously said, Nile couldn't have stabbed Tenma himself. Because he had an alibi with George from 21 to 23." said Salim.
"Which means the same applies to George. Since he was with Nile the whole time." said Hellen.
"What about Tenma's son, Succi?" asked Klancy.
"Oh that's simple is it not?" said Galtomor casually and continued "Succi couldn't be the culprit because he was watching tv with Jack from 21 pm to 23 pm. Meaning that he has alibi with Jack during the time of the killing."
"That would also mean Jack has an alibi with Succi too. Both are cleared." said Salim.
"And If I remember Mikhail was also cleared?" asked Hellen.
"Yeah, Mikhail was the one who tried to hack into the computer in the chemical room. We found out that someone has been manually trying to hack into the computer. Someone has been giving input from the keyboard from 20:40 to 23:20." said Klancy.
Klancy further added “That person turned out to be Mikhail. He confessed to this before we gave any info to him about this. The knowledgeability of his confession proves that he was the one who was inputting commands.Therefore he has an alibi."
Just that moment the door opened and Fushichin entered the room.
"Oh, hey guys. Manish is still working on the thing. He says he might make progress soon. I was uselessly sitting there so I thought I might be able to help here instead." said Fushichin with a melancholic tone.
"You might. We are crossing off suspects from Tenma's case. Do you know why Reiner couldn't be the culprit?" asked Salim.
"Oh, well, Reiner couldn't have been stabbing Tenma at 21 pm or onwards was because Reiner said he'll watch over suspicious activity and entered the mansion. And Jude confirmed this by watching Reiner from outside. Until Joseph entered the main hall. Joseph entered the main hall at 22 pm. Reiner carried the carton box with Joseph. When he came back he met George and Nile so he had an alibi with them at 22 pm.” explained Fushichin with a lazy tone.
"This would also mean Joseph is innocent too. Because he came from the hallway of doors meaning that when Reiner arrived at the main hall at 21pm He really was inside the guest bedroom putting his stuff into the carton box. And afterwards he went into the garage where a security camera was and drove off. He had no chance to kill Tenma." explained Hellen.
"Jude also get an alibi too. Since Jude can't enter the main hall without alerting Reiner, he had no way to enter the mansion. Even during 22 pm when Reiner and Joseph were entering the garage, George and Nile claimed they entered the main hall at that time. The balcony was locked and could only be opened by a person who has the master keycard." said Galtomor while wagging his hand in the air.

"You're right. That does clear him." said Klancy.
"Hmm, what about Marian?" asked Fushichin.
"She couldn't have been the culprit because of the face recorder in the basketball court. It indicates Marian has entered the basketball court at 21:01 pm and exited at 23:10 pm. I bet it's impossible to fake an alibi by messing with the programming of the recorder." said Klancy confidently.
"Huh, I never even looked at that file. Oh well, good for her, I guess." said Fushichin casually.
He became pondering and asked "What about Mew?"
"Mew can't be the culprit because in the door unlock lock record her door was locked at 20:30 pm and unlocked at 23:20 pm. She didn't use Hori's room to exit because Hori's door was locked from 19:20 pm to 00:20 pm. Therefore she did not exit her room to kill Tenma." explained Salim carefully.
Salim further added "And she couldn't have faked being in her room in that time because the livestream proves that she was in her room when the door was locked.”
"Congrats Salim, you truly live and learn." said Hellen happily.
"Shut up." grunted Salim with a frown.
"What about Yumiko, is she the culprit?" asked Galtomor.
"No, she couldn't be because Joseph saw Yumiko entering her own room and heard her locking the door. If that's the truth she couldn't commit the murder. And she didn't just unlock the door after Joseph left because the lock and unlock record shows that her door did lock at 21 pm. And the record did not show her door opening since then, perhaps it was opened past midnight. She didn't kill Tenma." explained Klancy.
"And finally...Hori." said Klancy.
"Hori can't be the culprit because Jackiel Wain drugged her at 19 pm. His account proves that Hori was knocked out since then." said Galtomor casually.
"I can't believe it. Did...did we run out of suspects?" gasped Hellen.
"Wait. "So it actually was suicide?" pondered Fushichin then happily added "Middle age crises anyone?"
"No you dingus. It's not suicide because of there were two stab wounds on his chest. How would Tenma muster a second blow after stabbing himself with the first?" grunted Salim
"I dunno, maybe he was built different." grumbled Fushichin.
"No, obviously we missed someone. And I know who it is. It's Jackiel Wain. He must have killed Tenma" said Salim confidently.
"No, you're wrong. Jackiel couldn't stab Tenma. Reiner was already at the main hall at 21 pm. Jackiel has to go to the main hall with Hori and enter the trolley before Reiner gets there. After 21 the main hall is gonna be crowded with other people's movements and there is no chance to hop into the trolley after that. And Tenma died between 21-23 pm." explained Klancy.
"Ugh, shit, now I see it. So we truly did run out of suspects and theories?" grumbled Salim.
"Umm, why are you guys so against the suicide theory? Didn't we conclude that Tenma was probably the one to get the kitchen knife? The process of elimination we just did only solidified that fact." explained Fushichin.
The others gave him an unsure look.
"He could have done that for self defense but- Oh wait, scratch that, what if someone did the second stabbing after he was dead from killing himself!" gasped Fushichin.
"Why would anyone do that?" asked Klancy.
"To make the suicide look like murder. To frame someone. I believe Marian was the most suited to do this. Since she was the first to find the body" explained Fushichin with a cheery smile.
"Why would she ever do that?! She didn't have any reason to frame someone!" grunted Hellen.
"I dunno, think for yourself." said Fushichin as he shook his shoulder.
"It was your theory, asshole." grumbled Hellen with a frown.
