The Main Story Can't Save the Island; the Fanfic Can't Save the Villa. (Continued)

Little Knowledge went back and took a closer look. There were indeed two footprints on Otto's head. Combined with the weapons on his body that represented Durandal and the others, there was only one possibility for those two footprints.

So, I was the fool all along?!

Little Knowledge was completely dumbfounded when he realized what was going on.

"Mei, Mei, what exactly did Otto mean by his last message before his death?"

Kiana's eyes widened in disbelief. Otto's long speech had completely overwhelmed her. She recognized each word individually, but when put together, she couldn't make heads or tails of it.

"Um..."

Mei fell into deep thought, her expression strange.

Because that message didn't sound like a death message at all, or rather, it had nothing to do with death messages at all; instead, it sounded like card-playing techniques and rules from a game.

That guy is terrifying; he never forgot about playing cards, even on his deathbed.

The corpse deserves to be beaten up.

"Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to use our ultimate weapon, the one I used to solve cases back in London."

Fu Hua's voice was heavy.

Kiana couldn't help but become interested.

That is—

The audience became curious, after all, Fu Hua, who had lived for thousands of years in the main storyline, accompanied Holmes in solving cases in London.

"Let's just guess one, and we can fill in the logic later."

"How many wrongful convictions and miscarriages of justice did you cause back then!"

Kiana roared.

This statement made her feel unreliable.

But Fu Hua didn't care about all that. She pointed at the Raven and said firmly.

"You are the murderer— Raven!"

"Huh?"

The Raven looked completely bewildered.

Durandal also turned on the speakers at the opportune moment.

Fu Hua pulled out a red bow from somewhere.

"Because Durandal and the others are unlikely, the headmistress has no motive, Kiana and Mei are both good kids, and I'm not the culprit, so it must be you."

"So what's the truth..."

"We're all Valkyrie of Schicksal, we'll run into each other all the time, it's not good to offend you. You're from World Serpent anyway, who else would we target if not you?"

The Raven flew into a rage upon hearing this.

"Damn it! Are you Schicksal a gang?!"

Fu Hua never backed down and directly retorted.

"You, who used the entire city as an experiment, have no right to say that. Let's vote by raising our hands!"

Except for Raven, everyone raised their hands, their eyes filled with a resolute determination as if they were about to join the Party.

It passed unanimously.

"Okay, the matter is resolved."

Raw grass, too much raw grass.

They had expected Fu Hua, as Sherlock Holmes's assistant, to have some grand pronouncements, but her performance was unexpected. However, in the context of fan fiction, it didn't seem strange to them at all.

On the contrary, they felt it was perfectly normal.

"I think the class monitor is right! There isn't a single good person in the World Serpent!"

Kiana still harbors resentment towards Kevin for abducting Mei and recruiting World Serpent.

There have been three movies in the main storyline so far.

She and Mei didn't even get to meet.

She especially hated the Raven, even more than the Jackal. There was only one person Mei could have a Mei -to-heart talk with on the beach, and that was Kiana.

Simply put, Kiana is jealous.

"Oh no, it's Detective Fu Hua, we're doomed."

Little Knowledge was listless and spoke in a strange tone.

Fu Hua out in a cold sweat.

She couldn't possibly be so easily certain of the murderer! Absolutely not! She must have some clues that Kiana and the others don't know about!

The facts are now clear.

Fu Hua is still deceiving herself.

Raven isn't as annoying as some people think; on the contrary, many viewers have become fans of Raven after learning about Raven background and dreams.

Durandal pressed the speaker button again.

The Raven launched a rebuttal.

"According to the tropes of detective novels, the initial suspect is usually not the culprit! So, precisely because you all suspect me, I am no longer a suspect!"

"On the contrary— Fu Hua, because the detective is the least suspicious, you are the most suspicious."

Durandal squatted next to the speaker, urging him on with a helpless expression.

"Hurry up and decide who the detective is and who the criminal is. This execution background music can't be played repeatedly."

Durandal's words brought trouble upon herself.

Raven and Fu Hua seemed to have found their target and instantly formed a united front.

"That's you! Durandal!" ×2.

When faced with the two accusations, Durandal pointed innocently at herself.

Rita took the opportunity to play background music.

"You resorted to underhanded tactics because Otto owed you money and didn't pay your wages!"

Durandal was furious at being betrayed by her subordinate, but Rita found it amusing.

"Then you are the murderer! Rita! You followed me and used my identity to hide your suspicion! That's why you are the most suspicious."

The camera pans out onto the villa island.

Amidst conflicting accusations, the camera slowly rises.

Everyone suspects the other is the murderer.

"This isn't investigating a case; it's more like playing house."

Sirin complains.

"Looking at it this way, everyone is indeed a suspect."

Rosalia nodded seriously. She was easily influenced and followed the analysis as soon as she heard it, only to find that everyone seemed like the murderer.

"Isn't that obvious?"

Sirin couldn't help but roll her eyes.

The weapons on Otto's body tell everyone who the murderers are; it turns out Kiana isn't the only fool around him.

"Idiot Rosalia."

Lilia was also complaining, but instead of the plot, she was complaining about Lilia.

"Hey, Lilia, what do you mean? I'm very smart!"

Rosalia looked unconvinced.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes."

Lilia's nonchalant tone made Rosalia grit her teeth.

And in the Headmaster's Office not far away.

Theresa scratched her head.

What does it mean to say that the most suspicious person is not a suspect, and the not-agent person is the most suspicious?

Theresa was so dizzy from all the confusion that her CPU was about to overheat.

"It's very simple. In detective novels, the first most suspicious person is not necessarily the murderer. Only through a series of twists and turns, when the person least likely to be the murderer becomes the murderer, will the reader feel a sense of dread upon closer examination."

Himeko easily explained it to Theresa in one sentence.

After Himeko's explanation, Theresa finally understood.

"In other words, the murderer is Kiana!"

"Ah?"

Himeko and Vita were both taken aback and exchanged a glance.

Why would you think that?

"Isn't that right? According to Himeko you just said, Himeko, the least suspicious person is the murderer, and Kiana seems to be the least suspicious person, so she is the murderer..."

Theresa spoke eloquently.

Himeko paused for a moment, placed her hand on Theresa's head, and sighed, "You shouldn't have such wisdom..."

Theresa was expecting praise, but instead received these words, and she slapped Himeko's hand away in annoyance.

"Hey hey hey! Wait a minute!!!"

Theresa's surprised voice interrupted everyone's childish attempt to deduce the murderer.

"This device seems to be voice-activated, meaning it read your voice recordings about who the murderer was just now."

On the screen of the device, the names of the murderers were being collected: Fu Hua, Durandal, Raven, Rita, Mei, Theresa, all of whom were confirmed as the murderers.

Kiana immediately pointed at them angrily.

"So you're all the murderers! You bastards! All this comes back to how you all acted like it didn't matter from the start!!"

The flashback begins, and Detective Kiana begins her investigation.

"Looking at it this way, isn't there a dark corridor in front of this room? Otto probably slipped and fell there by accident, and then you guys stabbed him for various reasons when you passed by, which led to his actual death."

"There's a catapult in the corridor ahead. Otto died there and was accidentally launched in."

"So you were all murderers! I'm going to bring you all to justice!"

Kiana's analysis flowed smoothly, her sense of justice burning brightly within her.

But just then, the voice-activated device reminded them that there was only one killer left.

The previously heated atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Everyone turned to look at Kiana.

"Hmm—uh—eh—?"

Kiana suddenly recalled that when she arrived at the villa, in that dark corridor, she seemed to have guessed something, and perhaps it was at that moment that she delivered the final blow to Otto.

"Should we delete it?"

Kiana offered her opinion.

The scene shifts to a group of people sitting on a sofa, happily playing games, completely oblivious to Otto's corpse behind the sofa.

"Oh, I'm so sad!"

"Yeah, yeah~"

When it was Raven's turn, she suddenly remembered that the bomb hadn't been dealt with yet, and this was her island villa.

"No, my villa is too small... Aaaaaaah!!"

Before the Raven could finish speaking, the bomb exploded, blasting everyone into the air.
