The Case of Building No. 6

Lexicon Entry
Workaholic Detective was once requested to act as a personal bodyguard, and wound up visiting Building No. 6, one of the eccentric manors constructed by famous architect Meicho Aragi.

The owner of the building had received a threat declaring that they would be murdered. Amused, the owner decided to invite all those who held a grudge against them over to the manor.

Within the building's hexagonal rooms, which were connected to each other like a honeycomb, the murderer killed one guest after another.

Workaholic was swamped by the investigation, but a curious young boy caught his eye after he discovered a trove of evidence connecting the various crime scenes. The boy in question was said to have lost his family due to his penchant for attracting danger.

Workaholic approached the hapless boy with a proposal:

"How would you like to try using that ability of yours to catch the killer?"

Such were the origins of Doleful Detective, though his is another story to tell.
