"I... well..."
"That might have happened."
"I don't think I would have noticed which door it was."
"Especially after what I found inside."
"I don't think it would have been possible for Philip to fake the noises I heard, though."
"Especially when he can also testify accurately about what music Loreley was playing."

"The music's easier to address, though. Since Phil was probably in the corridor for at least some time, he could've at least heard Lorely skippin' the song. As for all the music she had on... he could just go to her room and check what all she was gonna play, right? Since she wasn't there n' all."
"It'd help if we had at least an estimate of when you heard Phil in the corridor, and for how long though."

"Can't say that I can."
"But he can testify about Loreley's music, if you'd like."
"If you can't trust me alone, then I'm sure you can trust me and Loreley both vouching for him."

"I was pacing about."
"Often in the corridor in front of Rori's room."
"Someone could have sneaked past, if they were careful."
"Probably not while carrying or dragging a body, though."

"Try as you might, you're not going to find a way to say Philip did it."
"What you're overlooking here is that Betty lied about being in the kitchen."
"She was up on the second floor from the beginning. It's the only explanation I can see."
"Loreley, Rori and Philip all have alibis for the murder."
"If the crime scene really is Mallow's playroom, as you're implying, then only Betty could have killed John."

"I saw her outside before 10:00."
"But it sounds like John was killed upstairs!"
"Loreley had no way to get back upstairs to kill John."

"As for how they pushed John off from Mallow's room... they didn't. They did it from the office, usin' the same wire they used t'strangle him with to lower him down to the height of Mallow's room. They knew that them bein' allergic to the cat would grant 'em a defense this way, hence why they did it like that."

"Oh yeah?"
"How'd they get inside the office, then?"
"It was locked, and John had the key."
"The killer had no reason to choose a specific window to misdirect people."
"They can't have counted on Loreley just happening to notice flowers being crushed below a certain window."
"The killer likely just dropped the body out of the window nearest to them."
"As such, I doubt they dragged the body to a different room. John was killed in the room with the window he was dropped from."
"Besides, what's John's involvement in all this?"
"He just up and decides to go upstairs, hoping he'll run into his target?"
"He had no way of knowing where anyone would be."
"Not when he was stuck inside the guest room the whole while."
"He didn't know where people went or what their plans were."
"I doubt he planned to run into someone in a corridor and stab them. Anyone might see."
"He would have wanted to kill someone inside one of the rooms."
"So my point is, if you want to say John was killed in the office, the killer must have already been there in advance."
"But the door was locked, and John had the key. I don't see how the killer could be inside before John arrived."

"In any case, he goes up there through the tunnel, makin' sure to avoid Phil as he does it. Rori was probably in the corridor on the third floor from 10 AM to begin with. And we know John had the keys to his office with him. So either he invites Rori into his office before trying to attack 'em, or he attacks Rori first and only after killin' him do they use the keys to enter the office. In any case, John did attack Rori first, but Rori ended up overpowerin' him and stranglin' him with a cable somewhere. With that same cable, they use it to drop him onto the rose bush and climb onto the cable to lower themselves down to the second floor themselves before droppin' themselves off. Then they take John and do the locked room trick I mentioned already. Does that account for everythin', Detective?" He finished, looking quite fatigued by all these theories he had to keep coming up with.

"You're saying John went up there because he was notified of it?"
"That does make sense, I'll give you that."
"But if he was notified, that means the office door was opened."
"Which means his target already had the office key somehow."

The elderly gentleman silencing the others was the head of the household, John De Silva. After taking his mobile out of his jacket pocket, he dropped the jacket over the victim's face. The pockets clinked as they hit the wooden floor, somewhat ruining the effect.
"Back when John did that, he was givin' a hint to the others!" Pat declared. "The pockets clinked, meaning there was probably a key in 'em! And that was the key to John's office! That's right, John was lurin' the killer to his office all along with his actions! He expected somebody to take the keys from his jacket covertly, then try to snoop around in his office later. And when they did, the sensors would alert him of the fact! Then, his plan was to corner this trespasser in his office and kill 'em! Unfortunately, it all went so wrong for the poor man... Anyway, remind me. Who was it that took the jacket again? Oh wait!"

Back at the library, one of the family guests, Rori Porter, took the jacket off the victim's face and folded it up.
"It pains me to say it, but this is a crime scene now."
"We'd better preserve the scene just as we found it, right?"
They hung the jacket over a nearby chair instead, reasonably far from the body.

It's over, Rori Porter! Yer the culprit behind John's murder!" Pat finished strongly.

"Hmm... That's..."
"No, the old guy's got it."
"I don't think I can wriggle out of that one."
Rori was smiling as usual, but it was a sadder smile this time.
"There's really no point dragging it out."
"I was... scared. Too scared to admit it."
"Now that it's come this far though, I'll say it. I have to."
"I killed John. Everything is exactly as you said."

"I never meant to frame Betty."
"I wanted it to look like he'd killed himself."
"All I did was bring him back to his room and try to make it look like he was still locked inside, and had stabbed himself."
"There was no grand scheme there. I didn't even think about how Betty would be a suspect due to her master key..."
"ENOUGH."
"WE HAVE CLEARLY REACHED THE END."
"THERE IS NO ROOM FOR DOUBT HERE."
"I AM SURE RORI WILL EXPLAIN THEMSELVES FURTHER IN THE LIVING REALM, IF THAT INTERESTS YOU."
"FOR NOW, THOUGH, I WILL GIVE MY VERDICT."
Spoiler: verdict
"I WILL SHORTLY SHOW YOU ALL THE LIVING REALM RESULTS."

Case 3: The Rise and Fall of Turnabout
Free Time, Part 1
Location: Grand Hall, The Ritché Hotel
Time: 10:00
When the living realm faded in around them, the dead found themselves in a magnificent hall this time. It was situated on the top floor of The Ritché Hotel, a renowned hotel that towered over most of the buildings around them, giving the dead a wonderful view.
Preparations around them suggested the hall was going to host a charity banquet of some kind later.
"No, no, move it closer to the centre."
"I made this all happen! No harm in reminding everyone of that."
The man micromanaging the preparations seemed to be the one who was going to host the event. GUNS picked up a nearby menu out of curiosity.
"Huh? What's a soy-ree?"
"It's pronounced 'soirée'. It's an evening gathering."
The man who'd monotonously answered the question looked very out of place among the finery and colour. He was the greyest man they'd ever seen; even his skin looked slightly grey.
"Greetings. I am called Mr Pink."
"I am the accountant of Bux Biggson, the man hosting this soirée."
"I take it you have important business here."
"Now now, Mr Pink, they are guests!"
"Guests must be honoured!"
"Would anyone like some champagne?"
"It's from my personal collection, so it comes with my seal of approval."
A familiar face overheard this, and trotted over brightly.
"Champers, handed out for free?"
"I was right to come check this place out early!"
"Don't mind if I do."
Posey Glover allowed Bux to pour her a drink, then beamed at the assembled dead. She was dressed in the same outfit as she had been at the De Silva manor; perhaps it was a favourite of hers.
[Posey Glover: https://i.imgur.com/W8qennl.png]
Bux, the man of the hour, was a large, blond man who seemed to sparkle a lot. He was almost certainly disgustingly rich.
[Bux Biggson: https://i.imgur.com/4kVr0kY.png]
Mr Pink was the only other person of interest in the area, though 'interest' was pushing it. He was just about the least interesting person you could imagine. He probably sorted out taxes in his free time just for fun.

"That's right!"
"I graciously decided to host this event to raise money for charity."
"Though you'll have to ask one of the organisers which charity it was for."
"It's a simple idea, really."
"A 12-course meal, with all proceeds being given away!"
"The price of admission is quite high, so I expect to raise a lot of money."
"Brilliant if I do say so myself. Sometimes my own generosity humbles even me."

"I know of him!"
"Everyone does! He's the famous CEO of Bigg Everything, after all."
"One of the richest men alive."
"Oh, please, you flatter me!"
"Though it's all true, of course."
"The charity soirée seemed interesting, so I bought a ticket."
"I'm actually staying at this very hotel anyway, so I decided to visit early."
"See if I couldn't find anything interesting going on, you know."

"Please, ma'am, don't get too close."
"My bodyguards might misunderstand."
Bux took a step back, neatening his bowtie.
"Many have wondered about the means to my success!"
"They want to replicate my achievements, and well, why wouldn't they?"
"I'll tell you what I tell everyone: hard work, perseverance and a willingness to embrace innovation."
"Those qualities served me well over the years, and they can serve you just the same."
"Do you want a copy of my book? I go into more detail there!"
He snapped his fingers, and Mr Pink came bustling over with a book, evidently one from a pile sitting on one of the tables. Bux's face was plastered on the cover, taking up most of the space. It was titled "How To Be Bigg".

The actual dishes served for each course had far fancier names than that, of course. Many of the dead had no idea what a lot of the food items even were.
