When Duanmu Huai returned to the viewing deck, the rest of the party looked up anxiously at his arrival.
"So, detective, have you found the murderer?"
The male student who had previously greeted Duanmu Huai was quick to voice his question, and in response to his inquiry, those who had followed Duanmu Huai wore complicated expressions on their faces. At first, they thought they could identify the murderer by finding sufficient evidence or clues. But now, it seemed, the more clues they found, the less certain they were about who the criminal was.
"Alright, now it's time I have a say."
Duanmu Huai tapped on the table, drawing everyone's attention before narrowing his gaze to focus on each individual.
The only confirmed characteristic of the criminal so far was that they were a smoker. Apart from this, there was no definitive evidence. However, Duanmu Huai was not a detective who used logic to persuade people like Conan or Sherlock Holmes.
