December 24, 20XX
The month of winter where pure and beautiful white snow should blossom was dyed in red blood.
Inside a small shelter amidst the snowy weather a female was suddenly seen appearing in a hologram form out of thin air
The female seemed to be around mid-twenties as she had a beautiful chocolate brown hair, fine tan skin, wearing a white turtle-neck shirt, blue skinny jeans, brown boots, and her whole body covered in a beige colored coat, but what attracted one's attention is neither of those but instead her eyes, her eyes had a unique purple irises without a single black pupil as if it was carved out from a drawing
Slowly she opened her heavy eyelids and was greeted by this sight. The walls, ceiling, and floors are made out of old wood that was turning black from the moist. The furnitures are also made from bad quality as it reeks bad smell and the cottons were also black
But even so amidst all of these the woman was still calm and snorted ever so lightly as she suddenly heard the sound of a mechanical voice
--Ding!
--Welcome to the first floor dear player!
--For this floor the player will be playing a single player game and will be solving a mystery problem!
[First Floor]

Seeing these the female nodded before she walked towards the table infront of the sofa and took a pile of documents
[Eden Street 4076 Case]
Death Toll: 3
Case Grade: Class B
Case Overview: -- The caller, James William reported that his friends had gone missing. Two local policeman arrived at the houses of the victims and investigated that that the missing person was called by someone in the phone and left their son before they had gone missing. After the policeman found the location of the caller they smelled a rotten stench and immediately found the corpse of the victims. The three victims bodies were placed in a line as a dagger was stabbed in their chest and a purple hyacinth was placed on top of their bodies.
Each of the deceased had the following things in common:
1.The cause of death was the same, all of them died from being stabbed in the chest with a dagger, and the suspect always leaves a purple hyacinth on their corpse.
2. The time of death of all the deceased is between 12 o'clock and 3 o'clock in the middle of the night.
3. All the deceased are commoners that owns a boutique.
4. All the deceased had connections with famous aristocrat families.
5. All the deceased is a single parent father and had a son with the age between 8 to 10 years old.
6. The death location of the deceased were all found inside an abandoned shelter.
After investigation we found that the first deceased Alfred the male owner of the jewelry shop had two alarm records before, the content is as follows:
[Case Audio File 01: 03718933.avi]:
-- This is 999 what's your emergency?
"Hoo…hello, I want to call the police."(Whispered)
-- Sir please describe the incident in detail.
"Well…the thing is like this, I feel like my friend is going to do something…I don't think this is good, I need the police right now--"
"..."(Noises of metal clattering)
-- Sir? Are you still there? Where is the place and address?
"At Eden Street 4076…hurry up, please!"
-- Alright sir, don't worry the police are on their way, sir?
Beep-- (Phone Hung Up)
[Case Audio File 02: 09937654.avi]:
-- This is 999 what's your emergency?
"Help! He's gone insane! He's gonna kill me! Ah-! Help me!"
-- Sir where are you? What's your address?
"At Eden Street 4076, hurry please! Save me!"
-- Sir the police is on their way, go somewhere to hide for the time being until the police arrives
"It's too late! Too late! He's gonna--!"
Beep-- (Phone Hung Up)
-- Sir? Sir? Who's gonna kill you? Sir…?
At that time the police weren't able to find the victim Alfred and the next day the second victim Benedict who owns a shoe store also called 999 and said the exact same words
The third victim Mathew who owns a clothe store wasn't able to call 999 and was found dead without any struggling unlike the other first two victims
The police found that all the boutique of the deceased are all related to aristocrat needs and that the real purpose of the killer is neither the items of the shop, the money, nor the children left by the deceased, what's more the boutique they own are also the only boutique in the whole Eden.
After reading these the woman then heard the mechanical voice once again prompt
- Ding!
- For the questions that needed to be answered are the following:
[1. If so why did the killer killed the owner of those boutique?]
[2. Who or what is the identity of the killer?]
[3.Why are there purple hyacinths on the body of the deceased?]
Seeing these the woman couldn't help laughing as she said "Looks like this might be much more easier than I thought"
Her system Draven couldn't help asking as he heard her say that and asked [How do you say so?]
The woman unfolded her crossed arms and pointed at the third question as she said "I know the answer for question number three"
Draven: [Alright, let's say you do know the answer for one question but how can you say that you will also be able to answer the others?]
Hearing this the woman shook her head as she said "Oh dear, you really don't know huh?"
"You see the question for number three is 'Why are there purple hyacinths on the body of the deceased?' and I know the answer for that because my second favorite type of flower is hyacinth"
"Different color hyacinths have different meanings, for example yellow hyacinths symbolizes jealousy, blue hyacinths means sincere care, and finally the purple hyacinths have the meaning of 'seeking for forgiveness'"
"So the answer for number three is 'the killer is seeking for forgiveness'"
-Ding!
- The answer for question number three is correct!
[3.Why are there purple hyacinths on the body of the deceased?
Answer: The killer is seeking for forgiveness]
[Time Limit: 00:46:56]
The woman then continued calmly and said "Now that we know the killer is seeking for forgiveness there is a high probability that the killer has good relationship with the victim"
After saying that she sat on the sofa, picked up the file and said "On the file it also said that the victims were called by someone before they left, why would they leave the shop to go to someone they don't know?"
"Also in the audio file the victim Alfred mentioned it was that his 'friend' is gonna do something and he also mentioned that his friend is a 'he' which means it's a male friend"
Curling her lips she continued "And the only friend that was mentioned in the file that was male was none other than--"
"--James William"
Draven was silent and waited for the woman to continue, and just as he wanted the woman did so and said "As for the identity it was obvious that in this era where aristocrats and commoners exists and that the victims didn't have surnames that's because they are commoners, then James William who had the surname William is an aristocrat"
"So for the question number two the answer is 'the killer is James William who is an aristocrat friend of the victms'"
-Ding!
- The answer for question number two is correct!
Who or what is the identity of the killer?
Answer: James William, aristocrat friend of the victim]
Touching her chin she then said "As for question number one…although there is an option that James did it because of greed…it is not though"
"Because--"
"--He did it all for merely a revenge"
