The middle-aged man leading the group entered the room with two others, while the remaining individuals kept a distant but unwavering watch on Hanakaiin Tōru, Hanakaiin Itsuki, and Hanakaiin Ra. Their posture unmistakably conveyed that any sudden movement from the trio would summon an immediate swarm upon them.
What happened next unfolded seamlessly.
Clues found on Hanakaiin Kokorozashi's corpse and in the house.
All pointed to Hanakaiin Ra.
Of course, Hanakaiin Tōru and Hanakaiin Itsuki were implicated as well.
"Do you have anything to say?"
The middle-aged man glared at the trio.
"I didn't kill him!"
Hanakaiin Ra stiffened his neck as he spoke.
Hanakaiin Tōru and Hanakaiin Itsuki remained silent.
"Not you?"
"What, are you trying to say he staged everything and killed himself to frame you?"
"Don't be ridiculous!"
The middle-aged man snapped in anger and, without giving Hanakaiin Ra another chance, waved his hand.
Immediately, a barrier emerged.
