Chapter 1 NG+/Mystery Points

Chandelier
''An MP on the chandelier. We may be able to find something here.''

Inference Difficulty: 6

Solving unlocks the Scratched Chandelier piece of evidence.

Dialogue
"Incompetent"

- Th-The chandelier is covered in tiny scratch marks! From what I can see, they must be from a wire saw... I-I have to tell Holmes!

"Ideal"

- The thin marks on the chandelier are the smoking gun of this trick. I'm sure you know, Wato--what could have scratched something so sturdy?

"Posh"

- I-I have something! These tiny nicks on the chandelier were undoubtedly made by a wire saw! Ohohoho! Good show, self!

"Mystic"

- These thin scratch marks... If they aren't the work of a kamaitachi, they can only be from a wire saw. But why tamper with the chandelier...?

"Gourmet"

- My, my♪ There are thin, noodle-like marks on the chandelier, plain as porridge. Only one murder weapon could manage that.

"Doleful"

- Eep...! These marks on the chandelier make my skin crawl... C-Could they be from a wire saw? So that really is the murder weapon…

"Techie"

- These scratches on the chandelier must be from a wire saw. Such marks on inorganic material are quite distinctive once magnified.

"Bookworm"

- "The chandelier's marks are the same width as the wire saws. The latter must be the murder weapon," the girl theorized, tapping into her memory.

Fireplace
''An MP in the fireplace. Something about it catches my attention.''

Inference Difficulty: 12

Solving unlocks the Fireplace and Burnt Glove pieces of evidence.

Dialogue
"Incompetent"

- This is my first time seeing a fireplace… But wait, who lit the fire? Or was it already going before we arrived...?

"Ideal"

- My, my. I wonder what hothead lit this fire? A most irregular occurrence must have forced them to burn something in a panic.

"Posh"

- Come to think of it, why is the fireplace lit? It must've been set after we arrived on the island. Elsewise, the wood would have charred away…

"Mystic"

- ...There are flames burning in the hearth. What's more, they're recently lit. If the culprit did this, then that narrows our list of suspects.

"Gourmet"

- ...That smell--not much time's passed since this fire was lit. If we didn't start it, then the only other possibility is that the culprit did.

"Doleful"

- The fireplace is lit... W-Wait, but why?! A fire wouldn't last half a day in there, so we should be able to narrow down when it was started…

"Techie"

- The fireplace is lit...? O-Oh, wait! Without more wood to burn, this would go out in a few hours! Whoever started it was here just recently!

"Bookworm"

- "Without extra kindling, this fire wouldn't last a quarter of a day. Therefore, the culprit entered the manor within the last five to six hours."

Floor Gaps
''There are gaps in the floor of the entrance hall. What purpose could they serve?''

Inference Difficulty: 9

Solving unlocks the Floor Gaps piece of evidence.

Dialogue
"Incompetent"

- O-Oh, right! There are gaps between the floorboards! Maybe it's possible to pass the wire saw through them...!?

"Ideal"

- The floorboards were designed with gaps so that sound could reach the basement. Those wire saws could certainly fit through them.

"Posh"

- I knew the floor seemed odd, and behold! Gaps in the boards! What IS this defective manor?! Anything thin enough could easily fall through!

"Mystic"

- These floorboards were deliberately made with gaps. It'd be no issue threading a wire saw from here to the basement, with how thin they are.

"Doleful"

- Gyaaah! I-I tripped on one of the gaps in the floor... All sorts of stuff could fit through an opening this big…

"Techie"

- As we established, these gaps are designed to permit sound to travel below the floor. They're also wide enough to string a wire through.

"Bookworm"

- "There are gaps here no normal floor would have. One could easily feed something thin, such as a wire, through it," said the girl, sharing a key fact.

Entrance Hall Door
''That thing on the wall of the entrance hall seems relevant. We should try checking it out.''

Inference Difficulty: 13

Solving unlocks the Entrance Door piece of evidence.

Dialogue
Gourmet Detective always replies to whoever resolves the MP, even if she didn't participate in solving it.
