Chapter 177: Verification × The opportunity created by the Ninth Prince × Biscuit
Joey looked at the Twelfth Prince's Nen Beast.
The pouch on the belly of the Twelfth Prince's Nen Beast seemed to possess some magic that made the Nen users in the room look at it involuntarily.
In that respect, every Nen user who had come here could be said to have revealed themselves to Joey.
But just as he had suspected, apart from Satobi, the Seventh Prince's Guard Soldier who had never said he was a Nen user, there were no other unrevealed Nen users among them.
In other words, if the killer was in the room, it was most likely Satobi.
If the killer was not in the room, however, it would be difficult to judge.
Joey had checked this again because Kurapika wanted to test Satobi.
The Chain of Judgment on Kurapika's ring finger had guidance, tracking, and lie-detection functions. In other words, once he activated his ability and questioned Satobi, Satobi's answers would become the most important evidence.
Although such evidence could not be used to prosecute Satobi even if it established that he was the assassin, Kurapika still needed to establish whether the assassin was in Room 12, because he would gradually begin using his ability on the Guard Soldiers to help them awaken their Nen Abilities.
