Emotion Taster

Arc 4 New Stage: Chapter 55 - Proof Of Given Memory

It's not nice to point at Dina's sister in this situation. From the beginning before being summoned to the world and the second challenge now, sister Dina was the most depressed person with the condition. This game has made a lot of trials, but for him it is stronger in the direction of emotions.

I may have been hurt, slammed and stabbed receiving a lot of physical injuries. However, all of it can be healed and not used now. This world made me have a replacement body when I was taken home and away. It's just that, in contrast to the mental injuries, I can still feel the instability of Dina's emotional wave right now.

"Actually, when I was summoned here, my position was already half-supervised standing facing Verdian. But, I don't know why Verdian got to it" explained Dina's brother playing a finger because he was nervous to look down.

Yes, judging from the condition of sister Dina at that time. His clothes and entire body were too clean to be a murderous perpetrator with a lot of blood.

"Hmn .. if there is no clue at the beginning time means—"

"Wait a minute, Kaivan."

"Hn?"

I wanted to continue the topic, but on the other hand Hanz cut my conversation. Still in her trademark style looking blankly at the distant background, she did not look at me as she spoke.

"What's up, Hanz?" continue inviting.

"You're missing something important. At a time like this, you should ask based on the background of the character played, not on the basis of the person who plays. When summoned here, there should be a memory of what we did one day before. I think that'll be an important clue."

Ah, yes, right too.

We stayed here for a day, so now is the second day. To conduct a full investigation, it would be more effective if I asked about all the activities that took place.

Basically, I also play a student here. The memory is still strong Octa planted on me as a rule. Therefore, I can still explain in sequence the important events that I did in this inn from the first day even though I did not do it directly.

"If so, Hanz. Just start from your story," I said that reversing so that his position is more just mentally.

"Ah .. yes, well," he answered. "I went to this inn first one day. When a wealthy family opened a job of an amazingly earning chef, I was intrigued and searched for details. As it turned out, I had to cook and serve people in a secluded place for a few days. For the past two days, what I did was not far from the kitchen where I worked. If not in the garden, then I'm in the kitchen. If not both, I mean taking a break in the first-floor staff room."

Hmn ....

There is nothing wrong with the explanation. But, the chef figures here are too mysterious. In the memories given to me alone, he was very rarely seen outside of mealtime. Although it is his work, but it does not change the fact that the instructions about the chef are still a little.

"If so, Hanz. When was the last time you saw Verdian in your memory?"

"Yesterday, at dinner, in the dining room."

The answer is too general.

"After that, what were you doing the next morning when the body was found?"

"First I woke up, as usual I was cleaning the kitchen for breakfast. Until finally there was a hysterical scream in the dining room because of the corpse."

Hm? Wait for.

"Where is the staff bedroom located?" my question is getting curious.

"There's under the hall stairs. All the guests slept on the second floor, while I was on the first floor."

Hall, yes. That means ....

"Today morning, you should have walked into the dining room before you got to the kitchen, right?"

"Really?"

"Is there a body there?"

"No."

"Then, how long will it take from you to come to the kitchen until the body is found?"

"About three hours."

Eh?

I momentarily thought of matching the clues. When I was asked to watch over Hanz and follow him to the back garden, I could estimate that the sunrise was six or seven in the morning. If Hanz says three hours ....

"Does that mean you're in the kitchen from three in the morning?" ask me a little pencansan.

"Fright."

"Why did you come so early?"

"No, Kaivan. The chef I played was pretty thorough in his cooking. He and I now understand that cooking is sacred and needs to be fought for delicacy. If you say cooking only takes fifteen minutes, that means you're degrading the cook's job."

"..."

Honestly, I am a person who always eats instant and does not attach importance to delicacy too hard if cooking alone. If the menu that I enjoy turns out to need a long cooking process, I prefer to buy instant at various food stores.

But, okay.

"At least we know by now that the murder took place between three in the morning and six when the body was found" I told everyone in an announcement. "Come, Hanz. In those three hours, didn't you come out of the kitchen?"

"Not at all."

"Certainly, sound? Have you ever heard a noise in the dining room?"

"I'm not sure. The sound I heard wasn't too noisy until I needed to check it out straight away. So, until the morning I didn't come out of the kitchen either" explained Hanz who said it confidently while closing his eyes and nodding small.

I caught what he said. For a while I also did not see any irregularities from the story. Although there is no proof of truth, I cannot point it out wrong either. So, the information from Hanz I think is enough to get there.

"Sister," call me to Brother Dina to return the previous source. "How boy? What was the last memory of yesterday? When was the last time you saw Verdian?"

"Sister .. hmn ...," said Dina's brother who thought while putting his chin and closed his eyes to reflect back. "Here is the background of my sister as a teacher. Last time we met after dinner and bedtime, we changed guard until twelve in the evening so no one stays up."

That's a pretty common job. When a gathering event happens to stay together like this, it is very possible that children are even fun talking can not sleep.

This inn is made with the function of one room for one person. I don't know why it was made that way, but each room has a narrow size for two people to wear. In technical terms, such a small number is easily supervised by two teachers, female and male, sister Dina and Verdian. So, I remember very well that in my memory there was no activity staying up late, the night became a quiet night.

"Keep, what's tomorrow? Brother see the body when?"

"In the morning and the children have to be ready to go, I want to try to ask for breakfast preparation. And, yes .. The rest you know, Ivan. I've met Verdian's body."

"..."

Hmn ... does not lead.

The story clues from Dina's point of view did not give me a chance to narrow down the possibilities. He was the last to see Verdian in the night at twelve instead making a meaningless distance.

But, after all, Dina's sister was the first to find the body. This fact is still undeniable where the murder occurred between three to six in the morning.

"Pero," call the next guy, now I'm back to looking for a new source. "You, what is your memory here now? If Verdian sleeps in the basement, doesn't that mean you're the last one to meet him in the hall?"

Part of the memory tells me about Pero, he was the staff who became the main caretaker of the inn. You could say, he was a manager and a maid who explored all the facilities outside the chef could handle. His own position is more often standby sitting in the hall. Sometimes he might have cleaned a few corners of the room, but it was more he did when we as tenants were not in the room.

"Hmn ...in my memory, that man named Verdian did see me last time entering his room through the hall. However, after that I did not see it, I also needed to rest my body. Although actually the one who took a break at that time was the person I was playing now," Pero explained to me.

Well, that might not matter. Seeing him in the middle of the night did not help anything considering that Hanz who passed by at three o'clock just did not find his body.

"When do you start waking up?" continue my question still with Pero as an inn manager.

"As a good owner, I certainly woke up early. Although not as early as the chef, but I'm back on guard around four in the morning."

"Hoo ... Then, you're always in the hall from that hour?"

"Yes, Kaivan."

"Don't you see anyone coming into the dining room?"

"... No."

"..."

Damn it gets more complicated.

If Hanz and Pero are telling the truth. That means there's only an hour the criminal has time to do the action.

An hour is too short. If indeed the perpetrator entered between three and four hours when two staff began to be active, it means that he had to deal with a limited escape.

Just imagine, this criminal did his job cleanly. He didn't let blood splatter, he didn't make a rowdy sound, and now he's gone unnoticed.

Even if anyone could enter at three o'clock bringing Verdian into the dining room right after Hanz in the kitchen, it would be difficult to be able to commit murder without being noticed. The time is only one hour, and after that the escape path will be blocked from the direction of the hall and kitchen simultaneously. At four o'clock in the morning, the perpetrator was no longer able to escape from this room.

Hmn ....

I looked around the room, cutting off the conversation and meeting for a moment in order to analyze the scene.

The dining room had four windows on two sides in addition to the side connecting to the other room. Front and back, where one side of the wall has two windows.

I walked towards each of the windows, opened the hinge mechanism and saw the scene downstairs right after the window was opened.

The people there were quite confused to see me, they kept quiet because I as the leader of the meeting did not speak. Then, this time my steps were followed by their curious gazes. Keep going, step one, two three, back front turning circles until it's time to open the last window.

"Ivan, what are you looking for?" tanya Farrel represents all members.

"I'm looking for footprints. For example, if my estimation is correct, there should be footprints in the window."

"Hmn ... what's the estimate, Kaivan?" change Pero's question at the other end.

"The time of one hour is too narrow, it is likely that he escaped through the window if for example the direction of the kitchen and the hall is stopped by Hanz with Pero," I said.

"Then, how did it go?" ask from Pero.

"Nothing," I said as I shook my head gently turning my face. "I can't see any footprints."

Some people there took a breath, a little disappointed or even relieved because I found nothing. Because, from earlier there was no clue that could reveal the identity of the perpetrator.

From here I almost gave up on logic. Instead of thinking, I have the easiest way to wait and give up. After all, because it is likely that this setting takes reference to existing stories, it could be that the genre of the story is supernatural. Something that does not need detective power to be solved.

"Kaivan, are you still that stupid not to understand?"

"Huh?"

Suddenly Hanz spoke again, asking along with a rude swearing as I walked back to my starting table.

"What's up, Hanz?" I answered a little cynical.

"Ah .. well, you don't understand. Then, why don't you go ahead and ask the rest of the students here?"

"Murids? The students are on the second floor, if they want to get out of the room, will automatically be caught with Pero in the hall."

The second floor is a closed room. Only one way to get to the top is the main staircase in the hall. But, the hall was already filled by Pero as the innkeeper.

"Kaivan ..," he called her in a soft tone typical of the wind from Hanz. "If you take the whole explanation of the three men earlier. That means you narrowed down the perpetrators to the realm of the disciples."

"..."

Ah, yes. I forget. Being too focused on clues, I had to ignore the limited number of people right now.

It is true, if I consider Brother Dina, Pero, and Hanz clean simultaneously, then the rest are the disciples and a little child named Ann whom I appointed indirectly as the prospective perpetrator.

Whatisthis? What does it mean that I should assume that someone is lying here?
