'''Evidence'''
* There is a working secret entrance that allows entry or exit onto the grounds without being seen by anyone else.
* The house still has running water.
* A window had been left open with no signs of wind or rain wear.
* The house shows no overt signs of life, but the kids smell something cooking.

'''Conclusion'''
* The house is not abandoned, but rather hides the dead mansion owner's wife and son, Akio.


* '''Motive'''
* '''Akio''' killed his father with a single blow to the head. Unlike many other suspects, Akio had actually intended to turn himself in as soon as he could, but his mother decided to protect him. Her "protection", however, meant locking Akio in the basement until the statute of limitations for the murder expired and he couldn't be prosecuted. He tried to convince his mother otherwise but she was so desperate to not lose her only child that she wouldn't listen to his pleas. Eventually, as she attempts to kill the children for snooping in the now abandoned home, Akio manages to stop his mother and insist that he should atone for his crime; this time he is successful, and they turn themselves in together.


Akio killed his dad in the heat of a discussion because he had flunked an important university exam. In the middle of the fight, Akio lost it and took a bronze candle handler and hit his father in the head with it, killing him.

* Akio killed his father in the heat of an argument over how he had flunked an important university exam, having impulsively grabbed a bronze candle holder and hit his father in the head with it.
