Mysterious System
Finding the Trick of the Perpetrator

"Looks like, I know that 'Zig-Zag Yarn Trick' you're talking about. After all, this place was indeed suitable to perform such a trick. However, it would be difficult for the perpetrator to do so with just 15 minutes." Detective Henry said to myself, thinking about how he committed the murder.

"True, I still don't know how the perpetrator can do the trick very quickly. The biggest possibility was that he did not use the trick!" Reply to Detective Henry, thinking of other tricks the perpetrator might have used.

"Then, what if we go into that building, Edward?" Detective Henry asked me, in a tone inviting me to go to that place. He intended to take me away with him, so that I might find something or a clue to bring to the truth.

"Hmm... Why are you taking me? Shouldn't I go there? Isn't the building just for cops and some detective with interests?" I, hearing Detective Henry's offer, became very confused and almost turned him down.

"Just calm down, I'll give them permission first. You'd better disguise yourself as one of the victim's children." Detective Henry gave a pretty good and efficient suggestion to use at this time. Instead of doing nothing, I decided to follow Detective Henry's advice.

We immediately went to the building, with a road that had to turn. Because, there is no road from the alley, which leads out toward the building. Therefore, we are required to go around that road.

After arriving at the place we were heading, we immediately ran into the building, and went straight to the balcony saying, "Excuse me, you from the police want to check this building!" detective Henry shouted to the people who were still pondering inside.

An old man in a wheelchair came up to us and replied, "Please, don't hesitate."

But at that moment, myself and Detective Henry had the same thought, "Why, that grandfather wasn't checked out just now? Is it because he's old?" thought we were both.

But we paid little heed to it, and rushed to the top floor where the balcony was.

The stairs we passed were quite long, very different from our expectations which we initially thought, this building is not too high distance, between the first floor and the second floor. Apparently, the distance is quite far to reach, to make us both exhausted when we got up there.

Without thinking long, we immediately checked the surrounding area to pay attention to the details on the balcony. There was a small scratch on one of the hanging pots on the roofs of the balcony.

"Hmm.it seems to be true that the weapon of the perpetrator is a thread!" I assume that the perpetrator used a thread to commit all those crimes. Because, from the visible evidence, all leads to one tool only, a thread. However, I still do not know, what thread is used by the perpetrator.

"So you're saying, the perpetrator just killed him with a thread? That's something very difficult to do. After all, it would take fifteen more minutes to pull off such a difficult assassin. Unless, if the trick that the perpetrator uses, it takes only a little time to perform the killer!" Detective Henry is still confused about the weapon the perpetrator used in this murder. He is still not sure if the perpetrator actually wore a weapon in the form of a thread to commit this murder.

"Okay, maybe we should look for another clue!" take myself to Detective Henry. Because we just found one clue on this balcony.

"How about we split the task... I'll go downstairs, check and ask the old man, while you look for clues in this place!" Detective Henry's advice to me, which I later agreed to with a nod of my head.

After that, Detective Henry walked straight down the stairs. It seemed like he had to drain twice as much energy for this sort of thing.

Well, now I have to look for other clues that might be useful when I make a conclusion.

"Wait first... What'sthat?" I suddenly saw a white thread stuck between the doors.

At that moment, I immediately realized something. Then ran towards the balcony railing, and directly checked if there was anything there.

Justjust right... The iron fence was scratched!

I've guessed... It turns out that the perpetrator did not use the 'Zig-Zag Threads', but used a simple trick, which did not even take long to do.

However, I cannot confirm further on this matter. Because, the assumptions said by the suspects and witnesses are still difficult to prove. Maybe I'll ask Detective Henry to ask all of them this.

After lingering over what to do next, they began walking downstairs to see Detective Henry.

It turned out that he was still talking to the old man. I approached the two of them and tried to hear their conversation.

"So, did you see Madame Laura go upstairs at 16:15?" Ask Detective Henry who continues his talk, before he is aware of my existence.

"Yes, right... He looked frightened and immediately ran down... I don't know what's going on..." Reply to the grandfather, in a stammering voice, doubtful of what he said.

"Hmm.. isn't this getting ambiguous, Edward?" Detective Henry seemed to have found out that I was next to him. It's so great that all of Detective Henry's senses have this.

"Yes, but it is certain that the perpetrator did not use the 'Zig-Zag Yarn Trick' I said. However, he used another simple trick to commit the murder!" Reply to me while explaining what I found on the balcony earlier.

"Then let's ask the suspects again. Maybe we'll get some other useful information!" After Detective Henry said so, we immediately returned to the scene on Detective Henry's motorbike.

When we got there, we ran to one of the suspects. To be more precise, we began to ask, Lady Laura.

"Hey, madam! I heard from the old geezer who was inside your building, you're back upstairs by 16:15? Didn't you say you were still on the phone at the time and back at 16:20?" ask Detective Henry with a serious look.

"Old grandfather? Who are you talking about?" Lady Laura looked puzzled after hearing Detective Henry's remark.

"Eh?"
