The detective's brain was working like never before. A wrong answer meant death for him. "Who is the enemy?" The woman before him was just a pawn, but what's the point of using a pawn when you can change the scenario at will? He only had one word as a clue, "Joker". The Joker is a playing card found in most modern French card games, whatever French was in this world, in addition to the standard four suits. But what was the meaning here? All the elements of the case revolved around the detective.
He saw the earl's body again in a flash, but this time imagining it with an anguished gaze, managing to trap a being above the world.
(One who controls reality but doesn't know what's going on in people's minds.)
Then the interval of time between their departure from the room of the crime and their arrival in the room of the presentation, during which the Joker would have found the earl and brutally murdered.
(The Executor… the Joker.)
