"I did not kill Paul."
The room stopped. Some of the standing players like Ksenia, Sun-young, and Detective Matasaburō were bewildered.
"What…?" Ksenia did a double-take. "That's all you have to say for yourself? That you didn't kill him?"
"I knew it," Kazi said, to everyone's surprise. "So it's true?"
John crossed his arms and met Kazi's gaze head-on. "You're quite the detective. I couldn't figure out what you were trying to do until a few minutes ago."
"I don't get it," William said, looking between them. Something happened, something that snapped John and Kazi into the same conclusion. A conclusion that nobody understood.
Like an old man educating the youth on matters of health, John kindly turned to William and asked, "Tell me, who went to the bathroom first: Tony or Paul?"
"Well…" William didn't have an answer. "We agreed about the same time, right? And since he's dead, they probably died at the same time…"
