Mysterious System
The Truth of the Perpetrator

"True, the murder is..."

However, at once, a telephone sounded from inside a person's pocket. To be more precise, the sound came from outside this room.

"Hello, how did you work at this school?" The voice from the phone echoed throughout this hall.

"There was a bit of strangeness on my first day! As I walked into the hall before the bell rang earlier, I saw the wall clock lying below, but after I left a few seconds from that place, I saw the clock on the wall, the clock is in its original place?!" Said the officer who met me.

After hearing this, I was surprised. Because, what the officer said, immediately stuck in my mind, as if all events and chronology had become one.

It is convincing that what he says is the absolute truth that brings the flow to the real truth.

Maybe at this point, the tension started to peak until my legs could no longer move. My eyes that were filled with curiosity began to shine brightly.

My mouth feels like it wants to say something...

"Well, it seems like you know all the chronology now, right? By hearing this, your body is vibrated by an aura of mystery that is so pleasant! Is that right, whoever your name is?!" With her thin smile that was so terrifying, she looked into my eyes with a strong desire to solve this mystery.

"That's exactly what you said! Right now, I already know who did it and how he killed her with a weapon not found on the scene!" I muttered as I walked slowly towards the detective.

Once it was right in front of him, it was roughly only a few centimeters away. I told him what the real chronology was.

Although the chronology is already listed in a card-shaped system in front of me. However, I will explain it in more detail than the series of words and sentences that are in the system.

"Okay, I'll start right now to explain the chronology of this incident! First of all, the perpetrator came with the victim to this hall at the time the bell went home. The two of them looked at the wall clock lying on the spot. At first they just want to return the clock to the wall above the entrance. However, at that moment just as I was walking from the classroom into the hall, there was a murder!" I was clearly walking here.

"So you're saying his murder used a wall clock to kill him? Isn't that a little impossible to do? Because we know, the clock is not sharp, so it will be difficult to kill the victim in the near future!" Counly's police doubted my opinion because he assumed that a wall clock could not kill a person in an instant.

"Did I say that the gun was just a wall clock?" By asking that question, anyone will realize something strange.

There were three sharp objects inside the wall clock...

Was it?

Right, that's the clock!

"Oh, now I understand! So, the killer's weapon is one of the clockwork on that wall clock! There were a few patches of blood attached to one of the clock hands!" Police Counly said in a medium tone as he raised his hand and pointed towards the wall clock.

Then came the cheers of the crowd counting in congregation, "5... 4... 3... 2... 1... and...!!"

At that moment, the truth of my words was clearly proven, even exactly.

At this hour, blood should be seen clumping in one place!

Because, at first the perpetrator forgot at the time of the murder was showing what time it was.

Therefore, the weakness of the perpetrator was finally clearly visible, like a sun that had just risen from the endless darkness of the night.

"How do you know this?" Police Counly asked me for my genius in dealing with this situation.

"It's actually easy, because I've had a few years of school in this place, then I understand when the real return hour happens. So does the perpetrator who forgot about it!" I said with words that seemed to confuse the common people.

"What does that mean? When does the clock come home actually happen? Didn't you guys go home as usual today?" Counly police asked again what I said, maybe what I said is still not clear to understand.

"We should go home at 15:30 every Monday to Thursday, and go home at 13:00 every Friday. And now, on Friday the 14th of August 2025, scouts are temporarily removed. Therefore, the culprit mistakenly thinks that today is Thursday because there is no scout activity. Because he was in a hurry, the perpetrator immediately put the clock on the clock at 15:30. After that, run away from the scene! And at that moment, I just got to the front of the music room and saw the perpetrator running away and away from the hall!" I explained at length to the Counly Police so that he could understand my words which were very complicated to understand.

"That's it, then how does the perpetrator change his watch to the original clock? You just saw, didn't you, the clock's still under 15.30?" Counly's police can only ask, can't reason. Damn, I'm tired of explaining! However, since he is a policeman, then I should always respect him.

"When I was away with someone to look for the perpetrator, he went straight to the hall to fix the wall clock. At that time, the father who cleaned the school was around the hall, which caused the perpetrator to panic. So that his glasses came off to the end of the room. At that moment, he pretended to walk here and there because he saw me walking towards this hall." Obviously myself again to him, hopefully there are no more questions weighing on my mind.

"Then, how do you figure out who the real culprit is?" The land of the Counly Police with a tone that made me really upset and furious with him.

"We just need to look at his shoes!" Detective Henry fused from his seat.

"Shoes?"

"Right, because the culprit was someone among those two who were there! Then you're a kid, quickly tell me who did it!" Detective Henry said as he pointed towards Sena and Dawn.

"The culprit is you, Dawn!"
