The Alice Castle Killings

Lexicon Entry
The elusive, eccentric architect Meicho Aragi is believed to have constructed a number of so-called "enchanted manors." One of them, Alice Castle, became the site of a homicide. Its whimsical rooms were themed around the books "Alice in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking Glass," with the lodgers there being murdered one after another through methods that drew from the works' motifs.

Senior Detective, who was also a mentor to the victims, arrived on the scene at once. Upon stumbling into one of the culprit's traps, however, it was revealed that he had been the culprit's true target all along.

In this manor teeming with trickery, Senior faced off against his own pupil in a battle of life and death.

Because he was unable to protect the lives of his own students, Senior stepped away from the front lines of detective work in the later years of his life.
