Everyone is busy investigating the mansion.

We're on the investigation, it is the investigation of Elisabeth the Third, the death of the third generation of familia de Marticli. The other detective says that she died due to depression and it led to suicide but I do not think of it as suicide.

Her death was on Aug 09, 1924, around 8 o clock in the morning the time her body was discovered, as you can examine her body it is still fresh and the rope on her neck is twisted the more severed bruises on her front or should I say throat area, the bruise is bigger than rope, there is a bat in next room if I remember clearly the bruise in the neck and the handle of the bat has quite a similar size.

Elisabeth was strangled on the neck and after she passed away the culprit hung Elisabeth to declare that she had committed suicide.

"what do you think?"

I look up at Kale, "Elisabeth's case is murder and not self-harm or suicide".

"Why do you think it is not suicide?" he says in awe.

I point at Elisabeth's neck," It was clear that the rope had not taken her life". There is no such fingerprint and no other evidence was found.

"I will write a report to our organization," he says.

I nodded.

I found an old cabinet, there was no dust and you can say the cabinet is under maintenance. I looked through it and found a letter, a letter from her deceased mother.

A shame for Elisabeth to not live with her mother's wish...

The frame of her family reflects on the mirror, I touch the mirror and push it, and the mirror falls into a secret underground. I too fall and lose consciousness... Footsteps ... And scratching on the wall after 20secs I regain my sight and what I see is the written on the wall.

1944 - 444

It was written on the wall with fresh blood, it gave a shiver down my spine, as my body was still in ache and was unable to stand. Time check 6 pm, there is no such clue found and Kale left to send a report to our organization.

Aug 10, 1924, The release of the newspaper.

The people chit-chat even in the cafe.

"Noisey!! Noisey!!! Noisey! Hemp le persone dovrebbero fermarsi" Veroni was irritated by the noises.

I must keep vigilant.

"Va bene, people were shocked of Elisabeth the third murder case," I said while taking a sip.

"b-but, Xu...destra..do you know who the culprit is?" says Veroni.

"sì," says Xu continuing to take a sip.

As Xu smiles with ease, she got the gun from Veroni pocket and says,"the culprit is you".

Adopted daughter of Elisabeth and the one who steal Elisabeth the third assets, no other than Veroni aka Trisha. Xu about to pull the trigger, Veroni become a shadow and says, " I am not your main enemy but the destroyer of time" as she completely disappear.

In this world, kill or be killed is the only choices.
