They're a lot of evidences but they weren't enough. Shane and I went to the library to meet Shuichi and Kaede.
"Shuichi, do you find the black cloak and the knife?" I questioned.
He shook his head. "No, not yet. We investigated the library because this place is where Nahyuta was stabbed. I was wondering if the culprit left the knife."
"Bingo!" Angie found something.
"Angie, you found something?" Kaede came to her.
Angie pointed under the sofa with her flashlight. "With Atua's eyes, I spotted the knife. It appeared that the culprit threw it under the sofa during the black out. Is it right, is it not?"
"Wow! Thanks to be Atua, you found it, Angie," Shane amazed cheerfully.
I rolled my eyes. Geez! She shouldn't believe Angie's fictional god. "Since you found it, therefore don't touch it. We need to analyse it. We should ask Ms. Ema Skye for forensic science," I suggested.
"Oh! Good idea, NJ. I'll call her now," Shuichi took out his IPhone and called Ms. Skye.
"Hmm... Very fascinating," Kiyo got interest on reading a purple book. Why I felt like it might be another clue, even it's impossible? Should I ask or not?
"Shane, Your detective instinct might on to something," my sister smiled at me.
"You think so, Shane," I glanced at her.
"Like Kaito said... The impossible is possible! All you gotta do is make it so!' We're in Khura'in and our investigation can be supernatural," she said.
"You felt the same way as me... Maybe I should," I mumbled.
"Of course! We're twins after all!" Shane grinned.
I walked towards Kiyo as Shane followed. "Hey, Kiyo. What are you reading?"
"Oh! Well, I noticed this book about spirit channelling. According to the traditional in Khura'in, only royal priestesses with gifted spiritual power can be possess and become queen. They related to the Fey clan," he simplified.
"I know the Fey clan are only female spirit channelers. How about male spirit channelers?" Shane gave us a sublime question.
"I read about them a few minutes ago. They said that the man's spiritual power is very fragile to channel the dead. Only feeling the life energy and spirits. That's why they decided to become monks. However, there is another way," Kiyo added.
"What other way?" I raised a brow.
"The deceased's valuable item... If a man or a woman had it with regret and connected to the deceased, the deceased possesses the body of the host by force. The journalist recorded the victims who had the same experience about it in ten percent."
When I looked at Shane, she understood very well but her detective instinct is increasing when the crime scene is supernatural. "Thanks, Kiyo. It may be a piece of evidence," she smiled.
"Evidence? Are you sure?" Kiyo asked.
She nodded. "Of course! It's Martin Mystery version, not DanganRonpa version," she said with two thumbs up.
In a few minutes, Ms. Ema Skye and Keebo arrived to the library.
"Ate Emaaaa!" Shane ran and hugged her like a one-year-old baby.
"Whoa! Rhianne, glad to see you. You're so cute as ever," Ms. Skye petted Shane's head.
"Thankie! Ate Ema, can you look at the knife? There's blood in it," Shane said.
"Oh! You need my help. I'm happy to help. I just created a forensic science program and updated to Keebo. Still, aren't you offended about, you know, forcefully?" Ms. Skye worried to Keebo.
"Of course not, Ms. Ema. Your program is very useful and I became helpful when they need it for investigation," Keebo smiled.
"Alright," Ms. Skye nodded as she wore her gloves. She took the knife. "Can you analyse the blood for me?"
"Piece of cake," Keebo smudged the blood with his finger and licked it.
"Wha! He licked it?!" Kaede shocked.
"He did it like Connor from Detroit Become Human," I said emotionlessly.
Keebo's eyes turned into light blue as he examined the blood. Thus, he turned back to normal as he printed the result from his mouth, took it and gave it to Ms. Skye. "In the conclusion, two, different blood cells are on the same blade."
"They came from Mr. Wright and Prosecutor Sahdmadhi. The culprit used the knife to attack them. They don't have time to clean the blood off," Ms. Skye clarified. She dusted the knife with finger-print powder. "No fingerprints on the knife. Clever guy," she murmured.
"Let me guess, the culprit used gloves," Shuichi guessed.
"If he or she wore gloves, therefore they still wore it," Kaede stated.
"Hmm... I do remembered some guests wore gloves but they're so many," Angie remembered.
"We searched the library but we didn't see the gloves," Kiyo added.
If it's not in here, it might be outside. Simultaneously, I saw the open window. I went to it and looked outside. Next, to the side of the wall... Bingo Bango... Ay caramba! I can't believe I said that. More importantly, I spotted the blood stain, hand printed on the wall. From the looks of it, the culprit escaped here and moved to the other room, like a spy or ninja.
"Waah! There's a hand print on the wall outside," my sister surprised and they popped out to see it.
I moved away from the crowd and went to the next room where the culprit escaped. Surely, Shane followed as always. We're at the living room. The walls painted in maroon. Also, adding Khura'inese designs like magatama and mitamah. Just like the window from the library, the window from the living room is open too. My guess is right. This place is tidy, except a zippo lighter in the trashcan. The zippo lighter is really cheap for commoners. For all I know, Former Minister of Justice Inga is a smoker in reality, he carried his tobacco stamp in the game. Being rich and part of the royalties, he had his own lighter which expensive and unique style. What if the culprit used it to burn something?
"You knew that the culprit went here, right?" I was surprised by Shuichi. He's with Kaede, Keebo and Ms. Skye.
"Yeah... I found a lighter from the trashcan. Ms. Skye, can you dust it and find the owner's fingerprint?" I requested.
"Sure!" she agreed without a second thought.
While Ms. Skye's dusting and researching for fingerprint, someone arrived.
"Hey, guys! How's the investigation?" Athena smiled.
"Almost we discover the real culprit. Athena, I know Mr. Wright has many enemies. Do you know who they are?" Shuichi questioned.
"Only a few that I know. Matt Engarde, the Phantom and Former Queen Ga'ran but they were sentenced life in prison. As well as the deceased ones like Manfred Von Karma, Dahlia Hawthorne and Kristoph Gavin," Athena answered.
Shuichi's eyes widened open. "Kristoph Gavin?! Apollo's former mentor?!" he shocked.
"Yeah... Do you know him?"
"He's a disgrace lawyer who killed Trucy's and Vera Misham's fathers. Even, he used forged evidences every courts in seven years. I mean, how did he died?"
"He was executed last year," I answered that he glanced at me. "It's true that he did those crimes. Adding attempting to murder Vera, that's a count. The law declared that Kristoph is a dangerous man. Shane and I heard the news from . He regretted that he didn't stop his brother to commit the crime."
"Oh... I see," he nodded.
"Eureka! Huh! What?!" Ms. Skye dumbfounded.
"What is it, Ema?" Athena asked.
"The fingerprint from the lighter... it belonged to that glimmerous fop?!"
Everyone startled. That lighter belonged to Mr. Klavier. It can't be. No, I think he has a different reason.
"Um... Did Klavier smoke? I know someone smokes for stress relief," Kaede guessed.
"Klavier isn't a smoking lover. He preferred listening to music or playing a guitar," Ms. Skye remembered.
Shuichi is logically remembering as he put his hand on his mouth. "Kaede, where did we meet Klavier?"
"At the hallway. Alro lead us to the library in ten minutes-Ah! Don't tell me he did it!" Kaede shocked to that theory.
"Klavier was closer to the living room. His fingerprint is on the lighter. It could fake," Shuichi hoped.
"Why Prosecutor Gavin is the culprit? Mr. Wright, Trucy and I met him with Mr. Egdeworth and Detective Gumshoe at the airport yesterday. His emotions is very excited to Khura'in and meet Apollo," Athena remembered.
Hmm... Is it me or too quiet? I realized that Shane wasn't here. Where is she?
...
Hold on...
*Yesterday's Flashback*
We chatted Mr. Klavier on Skype. Playing the song 'Royal' in guitar version. Mr. Klavier was amazed and gave us a round of applause by our practice.
"That KZ Tandingan version fits perfectly than Lorde. Your performance is livelier," He commented with a kind smile.
"Thankie! But don't tell everyone about this. It will be a surprise. I told Papa and Uncle Hajime that we will sing 'Red Like Roses'. To be honest, the song isn't good because Princess Rayfa and her true mother reunited. That's why I choose 'Royal'," Shane explained.
"Nice, Baby Angel! Glad you know," He agreed. Baby Angel, Shane's nickname.
"So, are you going to Khura'in?" I asked.
"Ja, Apollo and I were separated in one year because the people from Khura'in needed him. I miss him so much and I need to confess to him after the party."
"Confess, huh? Break a leg," I gave him a good luck but I spotted a familiar eyeglasses from his side of his pocket on his purple, leather jacket. "Mr. Klavier, do you have trouble with your eyesight?"
"Oh! You noticed it," Mr. Klavier surprised as he took it out. "Ja, my family, along with my brother have hyperopia."
"Farsightedness? Huh...Guess you inherited them. Oh! I suggested that they have eyeglasses turned into sunglasses by depending on the sun ray. Auntie Peko wore them," Shane suggested.
"Hmm... Maybe I'll try," Mr. Klavier wondered. The eyeglasses that he brought are extremely familiar to me but I'll shut it.
*Flashback Ended*
"...Daughter of my father!" I shocked.
"Huh? That's new. I never heard your shocking comment. Is something stupefaction to you?" Keebo questioned.
"I don't know my theory is correct but... What if Mr. Klavier possessed?" I answered the theoretical conclusion. "Anyway, have you seen my sister?"
"I thought she's with you," Athena tilted her head.
"Possessed? Impossible! Only Maya, Pearl and the Former Queen can-"
I didn't continue Ms. Skye's words as I ran off. My sister and I knew who the attacker is. The evidence and my memory connected to one correct answer. However, my sister inherited my mother's ability. An ability that the people can't see or hear. Only I discovered it and not let them show it, even my own father. I stopped as I saw Shane and Klavier met at the hallway. Shane stabbed him with a katana but there is no blade. That katana is a ghost blade. As well as my sister's right eye activated it. Mr. Klavier isn't an attacker. A puppet. He was controlled by the true attacker, Kristoph Gavin.
