Inspector Gin is confused by the Detectives deductions. He looked at Kaoko and she instantly understood what he was thinking. So she started questioning the suspects.
Officer Kaoko turned to the victim's daughter and asked.
Officer Kaoko: can anyone confirm that you were in the kitchen the whole time?
Southpaw: Yes, lashedcheek the cook was there with me. Ask her if you don’t believe me.
Officer Kaoko *turns to Lashecheek*: Is it true what she says?
Lashedcheek: Yes, it’s true; Southpaw-sama was with me in the kitchen and she didn’t leave, so it can’t be her.
Officer Kaoko *looked at Southpaw and Lashedcheek in the eyes*: OK, both clear. *turns to the butler* Can you confirm your alibi?
Abs.: Yes, Master Maurice keeps a camera in the dining room to watch over his safe. Check for yourself.
Officer Kaoko: Shuu, go and confirm it.
Shuuichi Akai: Yes, ma’am!!
Few minutes later, Shuuichi Akai returns.
Shuuichi Akai: Ma’am, he was there. It was as he said; he did not leave the room.
Officer Kaoko: 3 suspects left. Detectives, please continue your investigations.
Detective HalfAngel: But ma’am, it could be CarpetCrawler since Maurice was pointing at him as he ran away. He could have passed the gardener a few times so he could confirm that he was in fact jogging around the garden. He could have taken the knife from the kitchen earlier.
Inspector Gin: That’s not good enough. How would the victim want us to know that it was him by just pointing? It could be the gardener; he was in the garden as well. Anyway, thanks to Officer Kaoko. Now there are only 3 suspects remaining. Please continue your investigation. And if you find the murderer I will reward you with a great reward.
‘Yes, sir!!’ All the detectives shouted at once.
