fashionable characters
Detective
Let's get to work, buddy! I don't know which of the five cigar cases belongs to Lucky. I don't even want to guess. Let's just get them all. Then he'll tell us about the Mafia's secret lair. Okay, the first cigar case belongs to Joseph Bonini. His nickname is Banana Joe. Interestingly, Lucky Lucaccio set up a commission of bosses. Bonini was the youngest of the bosses. He was only 26 years old. I find a Banana Joe cigar case. Judging from the photo, it's made of leather.
This is the Bonini cigar case. It's made of leather and has his name on it. Surprisingly smooth. Not bad to have one of these. Look for another cigar case. Maybe then Lucky will be able to light a fire and give us some clues. About the secret lair of the Five Families.

Remarkable writing speed
Adeline Svensson
The detective told me to go through all of my belongings and let him know if I noticed anything unusual. Then I found a finger pen in my home. I don't know if it has anything to do with the investigation, but I thought it would be a good idea to report it... now, let me show you the pen.
I actually need to get rid of this finger pen. It's nice to have this to speed up my writing, but it makes my articles look weird, as if someone is blowing evil stories into my head. I wonder if whoever left this behind is trying to scare the readers?
-
Clever substitution
Mayor
The detective told me that the house was burglarized, but nothing in particular was taken. There are not many things in this house to begin with. Ghosts have no attachment to things. But it looks like someone left a fake city stamp! Look at this. It looks just like the real thing, doesn't it?
Someone had replaced the real stamp with a fake and hidden the real one on my nightstand. I am sure I would not have noticed if the detectives had not examined my belongings in detail. Perhaps they switched the stamps in order to make the law ineffective.
-
Historic Miracle
Detective
We finally did it! Now all I have to do is find the last lighter. I can decipher Grandpa Joe Volani's mysterious clues about the Mafia's secret lair. I think we should look for something antique. Something handmade a long time ago. A lighter like that is a symbol of respect and trust. How do I know that? Well, nowadays I only smoke one cigarette a day, but I used to smoke like a chimney!
How's that guy? He's pretty strange, isn't he? This model has a funny shape, like diving equipment. While looking for a lighter for the bosses of the five major mafias, he found a piece of paper that said... what does it say?
-
In honor of the volcano
Detective
If I'm not mistaken, the writer we should be looking for has to do with Italy. One that fits our Sicilian friends. Unfortunately, I have no clue which model you are talking about. You'll have to find it yourself. I hope you find it. Otherwise, you won't find any clues about the Mafia's secret hideout.
Oh, well done! Nice job! Look at this lighter, it's perfectly stylish. How very Italian. This one was made in honor of the 1936 eruption of Etna. Now we have to find the last lighter. That'll give us the "receive the Lord's blessing" that Borrani was talking about. Hopefully, with that "blessing," that is, his "clue," we can somehow crack the code right.
-
Small mechanical devices
Inspector
I'm sure those mafia bosses would have all the meticulous gadgets. Automatic lighters, for example. It's a combination of convenience and style. Find it. That's how you get close to the mystery of the Mafia's secret lair.
Wow, this is one of the first automatic lighters made! These were all the rage back then. I never thought I'd see one of these in the City of Shadows. I used to have one just like it. I'm getting a little sentimental about it, to tell you the truth...yeah, but that's not important!
-
Extra parts
Professor
I went through the lab again, and nothing seems to be missing. On the contrary, there are devices in there that were not there before... I tend to work on several inventions at the same time, but the mechanical hand that I found when I was going through the lab was clearly not made by me. Come here, come here. Let me show you.
These mechanized hands were undoubtedly made by the finest craftsmen. They use techniques I have never seen before. But the peculiar rhythm of these fingers prevents them from working at all. Perhaps it was placed there by a rival scientist...
-
The one hated by the goddess of fortune.
Cardsharp
Detectives want to know the invitation of a fleeing newcomer to the mansion. He asked me if anything was stolen from my place, but nothing is missing, on the contrary, I got something nice. I have a pair of cufflinks, but for some reason I haven't had any luck with them since I found them... If you ever find those cufflinks, please take them, I'd really appreciate it.
You think I'm lucky to find these spade cufflinks? Well, too bad. They bring terrible bad luck. They're cool and expensive, but there's something wrong with them... they make me think weird thoughts. Whoever left it behind must be a magician.
-
Find the key.
Detective
I almost caught up with the thief, but that guy suddenly turned a corner and went into a path. That's when I heard a jingle and something hit the ground. Probably he dropped a key or something on purpose to throw me off. Look for it.
What's that? Jingler key... just as I thought! He dropped this on purpose to try to sow me. Let's take a closer look. I've seen plenty of jingler keys in my day, but this one is pretty first class! It's hard to imagine a thief with a tool like this going into a robbery unplanned...
-
Stylish accessories
Juliette
If there's something that glitters in an exaggerated way, that's the writer we're looking for. In my opinion, those fashionable little things are more suited to women. But we needed a writer like that to tell these maifas where the secret hideouts of the Five Families are. That's what we should look for.
There you have it! It looks like something between a harmonica and a gold bar. I wonder who in the Mafia had one of these...must have been someone in fancy pants. Okay, let's find the rest of the lighter. That should give us a clue to the secret lair of the Five Families.
-
Always in style.
Detective
Joe Borrani's message said it was a source of flame at the station. My guess is that he was referring to an expensive lighter. The kind the Mafia would flick in front of a gasoline-soaked prisoner. Buddy, we need to find five lighters used by the bosses of the five major Mafia families. If you do, you'll get the next clue that will lead you to the Mafia's secret hideout! Watch carefully. Good luck finding them.
Oh, this lighter is a real traditional one! You can literally follow American history by tracing models from different eras, did you know? Take, for example, this simple one you found. It has no markings or decorations on it. This is one of the first collector models from the 30's. Find another lighter. That'll give us a clue to the Mafia's secret lair.
-
Difficult line
Conductor
We need to put a connecting track so that the ghost train can get onto the main line and depart. I would be happy to bring the tracks.
What heavy tracks. Is it possible that the next set of tracks I find will be lighter? I wish I could put down ghost train tracks without more physical exertion.
-
Lombardy Tunnel
Conductor
The girls have already assembled the route and even decorated the tree. Hmmm...but they're still missing the most important thing. The Sanetti and the tunnel. I know it's not easy, but I'm sure you can find it.
That was a very quick turnaround! The Sanetti and the tunnel we found are the only things missing from the toys on this route.
-
Surroundings
Valerie
This line is kind of boring. I know what's missing! Just decorate it with toy trees and rocks. It will make the line more authentic. Go get some scenic toys. I saw some near the concession stand.
Once I got the details in place with the scenery toys, the line looked like the real thing! I can just imagine being a first class passenger and looking out the window at the view.
-
Railroad Track Crossing
Huntress
I wouldn't call the line complete without a railroad crossing. Now, let's find that part of the toy on the platform.
What a fun toy for a railroad crossing! When the crossing comes down, there's a miniature car and a man on a horse waiting for you on the side.
-
railroad bridge over a river
Isabelle
From what I recall, the Sanetti's route crossed several rivers. I'll have to find a bridge toy to cross the water that would get in the way. I believe there were several bridges between the passengers' luggage. Can you bring them to me?
Wow, this bridge toy looks so real! How accurate in every detail. Even down to the tiniest detail! Yes, the puppeteer is a genius.
-
Glow Traps
Kira Woodville
You get to assemble the pyramid of fireflies together. The main part of this puzzle is the pyramid maze. It must be somewhere in the city, so let's find it together.
The pyramid maze you found is yellow. The pyramid of fireflies my father gave me when I was a child was also this color. With this, will I be able to find my parents?
-
Railroad Tracks and Sleepers
Conductor
To release all the passengers and detectives, we need to find the parts of the train made by the puppeteer. I think I saw a toy train line on the platform. Can you bring it to me?
The toy train line you found is an exact replica of the real Sanetti's route. Look, there's even an arrow to move to another line!
-
Communication Methods
Cardsharp
It's important to know all about the trip on the Sanetti. But that kid has been cancerously silent, hasn't he? I thought you said he couldn't talk. You should find a drawing board. Then the driver's son could write something and answer. Hopefully he can explain something.
Bring that drawing board here! This will make communication easier. I wrote something. Play with me. She keeps writing the same thing over and over again! He's annoyed Juliette, and now me. Friends, is this game going to save the train man or the father? It seems pointless to rely on this child.
-
Signal for departure
Isabelle
Among the fixtures on the Sanetti was a station bell. A boy was pointing at it, trying to say something with a gesture. He was kind of talking about train departures. Bring the bell. Maybe we can figure out what it is.
From what I understand, the driver gave the toy train to his son before the trip. The boy begged him to play with me, but his father was in a hurry. That bell you found rang, the train departed, and the driver's son was left on the platform to wait.
-
Forbidden Travel
Martha
Watching the driver's son, I've come to one conclusion. This boy is crazy about trains. He is especially crazy about the Sanetti. I bet he would love to ride on a train driven by his father. Let's find out if this wish has come true.
I thought so. This is a lock with a closed clasp. Very symbolic. Of course, the driver couldn't take his son on the Sanetti's exquisite journey. Company rules forbade it.
-
Become a driver
Isabelle
That boy definitely knows something important about the Sanetti. When I showed him a picture of his father, he smiled, pointing to his driver's hat, hands folded pleadingly. Apparently the boy wants me to find his father's hat. He won't help me. Because I'm here with him.
As soon as you brought the hat, the boy put it on. He is very happy about this discovery. But he hasn't said anything yet. He really wants to be a driver.
-
Useful Findings
Detective
The thief dropped a bunch of other stuff as he proceeded down the hidden street. It was as if they were trying to get rid of something... evidence, perhaps? If so, that would be to our advantage. If so, it would be to our advantage, because we would know more precisely who he is. See if any of the thief's tools fell out.
What an easy-to-use tool! Here, look at this. It's got pliers and a glass cutter on it... that thief must have had professional tools at the ready! But why throw away such useful tools? Was it because it was quite heavy and got in the way of running?
-
Thrown away weapons
Detective
The thief must have taken the gloves to throw something at me. I can't throw accurately with gloves. But I dodged it with flying colors. A projectile weapon says a lot about the character of the person throwing it. I think it was probably a dart that was thrown at me. Find it.
I'm impressed that you found such a small dart in such a short time...even though you always do! Hey, I also found a small container with some kind of liquid inside. This smells like... sleeping pills. I've used something similar when I was on the police force. You were right to avoid the darts. If I had, I would have had to sleep for a long time!
-
Light in the dark
Detective
To catch a criminal, it is important to try to get a feel for him. The best way to know how that guy thinks would be to examine his belongings. The thief threw something shiny away on his way out... looked like a glove. Look around. It must have fallen out somewhere.
These are gloves that are useful when trying to sneak into someone else's home. They are made of sturdy fabric and have a small flashlight on the thumb and forefinger. These are obviously the work tools of a professional thief.
-
soft steps
Detective
The thief wasn't a total novice. He knew how to throw off his pursuers. But I saw him drop a few things on his way out... let's find them. Maybe we can figure out who he is and how to catch him. Okay, let's look around the area. Come to think of it, I think I saw his shoes fall off on the way out...
These are felt slippers with laces! I've seen something like these before. I believe they are supposed to be worn over regular shoes. The thief must have worn these slippers to avoid footsteps when sneaking into the mansion. That's quite a feat! But it's hard to run with slippers on. No wonder he took them off.
-
Witness to the will
Conductor
Usually, the hidden streets are crowded with people. It is one of the most beautiful and safe places in the city. It may no longer be safe when thieves are here... but then again, why is no one here? Okay, here we go. I want to know the whole story of the thief's escape.
Things really do happen in this town, don't they? Case investigations on hidden streets, thieves from who knows where...well, the detectives will find them sooner or later. It seems like they've already found some sort of evidence. I would love to know who this cunning thief is and how he got to the city.
-
Special Journeys
Valerie
It's too bad the driver's son has remained silent. I bet he knows a lot about the Sanetti and the trip that train disappeared on. Maybe he'll talk about it if he has some sort of memento of his father. I saw the driver's hat on the bench with the floral cap badge with the logo on it. Bring it to me.
Thank you. This flower-shaped cap badge is never displayed on a hat unless there is something special about it. It's very shiny, isn't it? Looks like your driver has been thoroughly polishing it in preparation for his special trip. How about I give you this flower-shaped cap?
-
Machine Covers
Inspector
I can't stop thinking about Ms. Crawley. What did the kidnappers do with her, is she still alive? I hope there are some important facts in Bolani's testimony. After all, these mafia guys like to talk about themselves all the time. We've already gathered most of the parts we need. All we need now is a full panel for the tape recorder. Finally, we can hear the testimony about the Mafia's secret hideout. The testimony that inspired the young writer to write a new novel.
You were right to help me. When we started our investigation, we had nothing. But now we have all the parts to repair the tape recorder. Now I just hope that what was recorded on the tape was not damaged in the mess!
-
save the day
Detective
To fix a tape recorder, you need a pinch roller. It looks like a small gear. Once we find it, we can finally load the tape and listen to Joe Volani's testimony! Soon we will know the secret hideout of the mafia!
You did it! This pinch roller is going to hold the tape up tight, huh? Now I can fix my tape recorder right away. Now we can hear what Joe Volani had to say about the Mafia's secret hideout. Cops say that a lot. No matter how tangled the threads seem, the truth will always come out in the end. Now let's find the secret lair of the Five Families!
-
Lost circuit boards
Inspector
The microchip in the tape recorder is completely rusted out. It's totally useless. I'm not sure, but I think I might have found something similar in Crowley's yard. Let's have a look. Oh, what's that shiny thing over there? I hope it's what we're looking for.
This microchip fits the bill. The tape recorder is almost fixed now. You've been a big help! Now I just need to collect a few more parts. I can't stop thinking about Borrani's testimony. I'm almost done with the tape recorder. Then we can find the Mafia's secret hideout and Ms. Crowley!
-
Spring Structure
Detective
You want to hear what Borrani had to say about the Mafia's secret lair? Then I want you to find me that weird piece. It's like a tightly wound spring. That's what you need to fix a tape recorder.
This spring is the perfect size for a cassette deck, man. Damn, why am I doing the tacky work of fixing a tape recorder in such a beautiful place? I hope they can find a way to get Ms. Crawley back in front of the typewriter.
-
Important parts
Inspector
Angela Crawley's work has been spectacular in several ways. If you follow her investigations, you will probably find traces of her kidnappers. Or a secret Mafia hideout. Where should we start? As for the Borrani case, I have some tapes of testimony. But my tape recorder is broken, so I can't listen to them. In order to listen to Borrani's testimony, I need to collect parts of the recorder and repair it. First, let's find a cassette deck.
It looks like this cassette deck works. This is what I needed to fix the tape recorder. How do you find things in this mess? Your talent is real! I'll have to find the rest of the tape recorder. That way we can hear Joe Volani's testimony and find the mafia's secret hideout.
-
Luck and Strategy
Monk
You're close to deceiving destiny and finishing the competition between the divine dragon and bird, and releasing the young priestesses from their power. But not any competition will do. Find go - the game of emperors and generals!
Imperial go is similar to chess! The outcome of this great game cannot be predicted. It equally demands the mind of a strategist and the instinct of a ruler. Mei and Yui are finishing it... With a draw!
-
Royal sport
Alex
The twins princesses turned out to be very athletic. Invite them to play cuju. I was told about it by a Chinese bloke from my musical group. It's a sort of ancient chinese football. I would play too if I wasn't a ghost. Find a Ball for cuju.
Wow, even in ancient China the cuju ball was fancy - with all these drawings! Give it to the sisters. Let's see who's better at scoring goals.
-
Excitement and Meditation
Inspector
Try to feed the fickle Chinese gods with a game of noble mahjong! Nowadays it has turned into a kind of solitaire, but in Mei and Yui's time, it was a challenging and exciting game; similar to poker. Look for a mahjong set.
A magnificent mahjong set! Mei won. She's better at concentrating and clearing her mind. But the gods didn7t release her and Yui.
-
Champion of Kicks
Detective
I've read that even the elite played the ancient Chinese game of jianzi. My friend, propose that Mei and Yui complete in jianzi! Maybe the gods will leave them alone after that. It's a game where you have to kick a feathered shuttlecock with your feet. You'll have to find it first.
What an impressive Chinese shuttlecock! Just look at these feathers. You can see right away that it was found in Emperor's Palace. Mei and Yui are starting the game!
-
Water Games
Monk
I see a lot of things among the gifts in the throne room that will help us arrange a bloodless contest between princesses Mei and Yui. One of the most noble ones is a race of traditional Chinese dragon boats. Find a boat among the treasures.
This Dragon Boat is beautiful and practical. It can withstand a competition. Mei and Yui get into the boats, take the oars and...
-
Reliable Support
Monk
For the princesses to reconcile, they must feel the Emperor's paternal spirit. Yui was deprived of her father and condemned him for his painful choise. For Mei, her father was a mentor and military commander. Look for a Pair of Dragons - the symbol of imperial power. It will help unite the sisters.
-
Wings of Motherly Love
Juliette
Poor princesses, there is so much pain and bitterness in their souls, mon ami! How can we reunite them? It's a pity they didn't have a loving mother around - she would have taught them compassion. Let's find Twin Phoenixes. They are connected to the spirit of the Empress, their mother.
These phoenixes symbolize well-being. No wonder Chinese empresses used them as a symbol of feminine power. The princesses might soften up...
-
Family Guardians
Conductor
Princesses Mei and Yui suffered severe trauma when they were separated at infancy. They must have felt defenseless even under the protection of their gods. Find a pair of heavenly Fu dogs. They protect agains eveil.
Maybe these twin Fu dogs will remind the princesses that they need to protect and care for each other, and not try kill the other half.
-
Swan-like Loyalty
Lady Peacock
It won't be easy to reunite the sisters, whose animosity has lasted a lifetime. We need a simple and cheerful symbol... Like Mandarin Ducks! In China, they symbolize loyalty, as do swans. They are friendly and peaceful creatures. Will you took for Mandarin Ducks?
What wonderful Mandarin Ducks, a real work of art! Give them to the sisters. Oh, merciful spirits of the ancestors, let the girls reconcile...
-
Elusive Luck
Huntress
We must find a way to reconcile Yui and Mei. I see symbolically paired talismans in the throne room. With their help we can remind the twins that they are inseparably connected. After all, it's such luck to have a sister. In ancient china, paired fish were considered a symbol of luck. Look for twin fish.
These Goldfish are as agile and elusive as luck. But they are inseparable, as befits two sisters. Look, did they have any effect on Mei and Yui?
-
Moment of inspiration
Conductor
You forgot about the squire! You won't be in trouble if you have help. That poor butler is out cold. So bring me a smelling salts. We can wake him up.
Wow, that smell...I just can't stand the smell of ammonia. But there's nothing like it to wake up an unconscious person. All right, I'll have the butler sniff out a smelling salve. If he wakes up with this, we can set our master, the baron, free.
-
Sweet Antidote
Mayor
The script says that the conspirators plan to kill actress Miss Connelly as well. Remember the almond smell from her drink? There is now no doubt that there is cyanide in that thing. The role is played by my friend Vanessa Kingsley. Whatever the end of this play, we cannot let her die. Go find some sugar!
Give me that sugar container over here. I'll mix it in Miss Connelly's drink. Did you know that sugar neutralizes cyanide? Anyway, the actress will survive this and her lawyer won't have to be her killer. He will also now have a witness against the Baroness and Count McGrave.
-
cut off the retreat
Isabelle
The lawyers drew up a will stating that all the Baron's possessions would be inherited by the Baroness, not by his beloved daughter. The Baroness and others tried to force the Baron to sign this document. If this document is destroyed, there will be no reason for the Baron to be killed. I have an idea what to do. Bring the candlestick.
Move the candelabra from the fireplace to the desk, near the lawyer. Once he realizes the Count and Baroness are plotting against him, he will know that all he has to do is burn the will. This will give the Baron a chance to survive, and the lawyer has his revolver. There's nothing better than that to protect the Baron.
-
Strange Adulterers
Alex
After reading the threatening letter, the lawyer would suspect the baroness of being unfaithful and would look at the folder. The folder contains the marriage contract she has already signed. The lawyer believes that she signed the marriage contract with him. What will he do if he discovers that the name on the contract is Count McGrave? Look in the Count's pocket for a fake signature stamp.
Good! Put the Earl of McGrave's fake signature on the Baroness's marriage contract. When the lawyer reads this document, he will realize that the baroness has betrayed him. Her goal is to have someone else kill the baron and then place all of the blame for the crime on the lawyer. Then nothing will stand in the way of her marrying the Count and having it all.
-
avenge oneself
Juliette
Hey, honey, we need to show Mr. Turen the proof that he is guilty of the Baron's murder. The baroness wrote a threatening letter to the baron in the name of her lawyer. Find the threatening letter. It's probably around here somewhere.
Here's the threatening letter. "Baron, you are a scoundrel and unworthy of Miss Connelly! Do not think that your disgusting ideas will go unpunished. I will make you regret having dishonored her! Turen," this letter describes the lawyer's motive for killing the baron. This is evidence for the murder charge against the lawyer. But he didn't write this. Put this letter in the lawyer's wallet. Look, the lawyer is reaching for the letter. As soon as he reads it, he will realize that he is being framed.
-
trapped bird
Mayor
Okay, there are only two more people on stage that we don't know. And one of them is the playwright we're looking for, J.L. According to the detectives, one of the missing residents was carrying a corsage. This item could not be attributed to either the man or the woman. We need to check both actors to find the corsage.
Corsages adorned the dresses of the theater's leading actresses. Oh, I recognize this classy item. It belongs to Vanessa Kingsley. She received an invitation from this accursed theater many years ago and then disappeared. All these years she has been Mr. N's puppet, forced to play the role of Elizabeth Connelly?
-
Dataman's Favorite
Cardsharp
Dear friends, there are only two more actors in this play whose real names I don't know. I found the name Malcolm Grace in the detective's notes. This dandy was very rich and wore a lot of precious metals and jewelry. Find me his golden tiepin.
Hmm, the missing Malcolm Gray isn't poor at all in the play. He's playing the Baron's business partner, Count McGrave. Not only is this necktie pin made of solid gold, it even has a sapphire on it.
-
Elegant items
Martha
According to the detective's notes, there should be a Dear Willoughby on stage who has been gone for over a decade. They say she was fashionable and beautiful. She had nice curly hair and always wore stylish hairpins. Check to see if any of the young ladies on stage have those hairpins.
Thanks to the hairpin I found, I know who Diane Willoughby is. She's the one playing the beautiful baroness. Okay, that leaves three. One of them is J.L., the writer of "The Black Spider.
-
Serious mustache
Valerie
One of the missing from the theater is Gregory Collins. His famous feature was his impressive mustache. He always meticulously groomed it. This gentleman carried a comb for his mustache. Check out the actors on stage. The one with the mustache comb is the missing Gregory Collins.
I found a mustache comb in the pocket of attorney Tulane's jacket. I'm guessing he's the missing Gregory Collins in this role. Anyway, he's not J.L.
-
Professional Help
Juliette
How do you find a playwright, J.L., among the actors on stage? The magic of the theater has not only changed their appearance, it has forced a new life upon them, that of characters in a play. The detective's true face was hidden behind the baron's mask. The people whose lives were stolen by Mr. N. must also be hidden behind the masks of the characters. We should learn more about the actors behind the masks. Let's start with the detective's voice recorder. There should be a lot of information there about the city residents who went missing from the theater.
Trevelyan! I'm so lucky. I can't believe you found the voice recorder! Now, let's find J.L. on stage with the information the detectives have found.
-
Explosive Power
Huntress
The reports of the imperial commanders mentioned "an unprecedented weapon in the hands of the enemy general", "a rod shooting flames and winged arrows". Was Yui really armed with something like this?! A monstrous weapon of revenge, the reasons for which we do not know. Look for thie phenomenal weapon.
These Winged Fire Arrows were hardly invented by a mere human! Look, and here's the extraordinary flamethrower. There are no arrows left in the Quiver... Only a roll of scarlet paper.
-
Fake of Not?
Cardsharp
At first I took these symbols for an ornament but now, my friend, I can see that it's actually a picture! The contours are barely visible. We need a special developer for this. I stashed the vial that we need a the base of the Angel. Can you get it for me?
So... Carefully apply the solution to the diggers' picture. It's getting more interesting...
-
Fiery Stallion
Mei
During the siege, I received a report that the general of the demon army descended from the skies on a winged horse! His face was hidden by an impenetrable helmet. Could this have been Yui? Look around, maybe a saddle or harness was left behind...
This harness would really suit a winged stallion! What forces did Yui let into her life that allowed her to fly as if she were a demoness or heiress of the gods?!
-
Demonic Protection
Monk
The warrior maiden Yui enjoys the protection of someone very powerful. Your mages have sensed the aura of protection that surrounds her. Perhaps her secret patron is somehow connected with her overwhelming desire for revenge. Look for protective amulets from her armor.
Yui's protective amulet resembles a demonic bird. I think this is connected to the princess's aggression. Maybe the princess is possessed by a demon?
-
Dragon's Blood
Martha
Have you noticed the bright and deep shade of red that Yui's armor burns with? In the ancient myths of China, I saw references to a mysterious cinnabar paint created by alchemist magicians. Look for the source of this mystical cinnabar among the attackers.
that's the source of the magical paint! Yui told me that she underwent complex training and learned to make the cinnabar herself from mercury and the poisonous sap of the "dragon tree".
-
Military Eduction
Yui
I have nothing to hide! Examine whatever you want if tuat's what the search for the truth requires! You'll understand that my treacherous family deserves revenge. I'm not some bandid, I was raised a warrior. Look around, my code of honor should be here somewhere.
There it is, my Warrior's Code. This box contains all the principles that I follow. The laws of the fiery warrior and the secrets of fire. I'm a noble avenger.
-
Under the Banner of the Dragon
Monk
The priestly heirs of this dynasty protect the country in the name of their gods. As soon as they are ready, an image of their patron appears on their banner. But did Mei become a worthy defender of the empire, like her father before her? Look for her banner.
The Azure Dragon on Mei's banner means that she grew stronger and improved her skills enough to become the right hand of her father, the Emperor.
-
Wall of Fog
Mr. Black
Now we need to take a deep breath, press ourselves against the wall, and carefully squeeze through. The Foggy Backstreet starts right behind these ruins. I hope we find Carlos before the openeing is completely shrouded by the fog. I'll go first, and you follow me. Let's hurry!
We're here! Wow, there's even light in some windows I thought there was nobody in the Foggy Backstreet but scavengers! Look, this is the dilapidated bridge mentioned in the letter. I can't figure out, is there a dead end at the end of the street or a thick wall of fog?
-
Gift of Fertility
Mei
I studied the mysteries of my god, the Azure Dragon, until his gift of growing plants was passed on to me. Even a stone would blossom in my hands! Could I have broken the balance of the gods with these spells? Please find the Stone Flowers that I created.
These Stone Flowers are modest. I never abused the gift of nature's magic. What did I do to upset the balance, then? Look, this scroll describes the order of things.
-
Spiritual Growth
Lady Peacock
The training of an eastern priestess includes spiritual practices. Special incense is usually used to communicate with deities. Look for the dragon's Ritual Incense Burner. Let's see if Mei succeeded in achieving harmony.
The incense in thie Ritual Incense Burner has an unusually strong woody scent. Now I see that Mei reached spiritual heights and her will was like steel.

Eastern Wisdom
Martha
I see a lot of books in the throne room. Unlike the airheaded European princess, Mei had been studying since childhood. Maybe womething went wront at this stage? Look for bamboo books. Mei would use them to study the age-old wisdom and mysteries of her deity.
This book contains special knowledge that a priestess of the Azure Dragon needs. The dragon represents the forces of living nature and growth. I doubt this could cause the conflict.

Symbol of the Heir
Mei
My parents said that the Azure Dragon came to lay his claim on me immediately after my birth. What went wrong with my appearance in this wourld? The order was not violated! I even had a seal from the dragon as confirmation of this. It should be here somewhere.
A jade seal depicting a dragon became my heiress seal. I was officially recognized as a princess and priestess. This could not have disrupted the balance between the gods.

Origins
Martha
We've collected four animals for the Emperor's Talisman. But the central element is missing. By the way, I saw a cradle with a similar aura somewhere in the throne room. But what is it doing here? Try to find the cradle and examine it.
You say the cradle was surrounded by gifts, like it's a relic? And there was a metallic symbol inside? Look, it fits perfectly in t he center of the Talisman!

Almighty ecstasy
Cardsharp
Apparently Mr. N. can somehow manipulate people's consciousness! The actors on stage are all people who've gone missing in the city of shadows. When they enter the play, they completely become the characters in the play and forget their own pasts. The detective, how pathetic! I have to find the key to the last mask that will open Mr. N's diary. I see the winning mask is in one of the chairs. Bring it to me.
I can feel the power of ecstasy coming from your winning mask. I have a note. You can do anything. I can stop the stage from moving, I can stop the actors from moving, I can retell the story in a completely different way, I can change the nuances of the play... I am omnipotent!" I guess this is Mr. N's idea of happiness!

Perfect maneuvering
Juliette
So Mr. N. has been looking for an actor who could play a major character in the play for a long time. And finally he has found one... our friend, Mr. Detective! The finale of this play, which is about to happen, is going to be awful. The Baron, or detective, is going to be killed. We have to open this diary as soon as possible and find a way to stop Mr. N's crazy plan! Next, you must find the mask that holds the key to the diary. It's the mask of surprise.
Hurry up and give me the mask of surprise! There's a note next to it from Mr. N. I feel more powerful than ever. The actors have completely forgotten who they are and are living a new life. A life in a play I wrote for them. This was amazing. I never thought I could control all the actors." What is happening here? Is this the kind of new life the theater gives them?

Trap for detectives
Conductor
Hey buddy, I've been poring over the mysterious Mr. N's diary and I have a feeling that the next thing we need is a mask of laughter. I need it to open Mr. N's diary. Now find the mask.
Don't you think the mask of laughter is sickening? There's another note on the side. 'I was convinced I had found the perfect actor to play the Baron. The great thing is, he came here on his own. I believe that fate has brought him here... We are getting closer to what we have been trying to achieve for almost a hundred years. Now is the time to create the perfect play! The one and only play like no other in the world!" Mr. N. is talking, no doubt, about our friend, Det.

Victims of evil genius
Alex
I took a closer look at the next indentation in Mr. N's diary, and I think it's a form of the mask of fear. If the mask is the embodiment of the diary owner's emotions, what exactly is he afraid of? I'll find out soon enough. Find the mask of fear.
The mask of fear has fit snugly into the next dent, hasn't it? There is another note next to the mask. It says: "Most of the actors are perfect. Most of the actors are perfect. But we still have to find someone to play the Baron. I fear we will never find a good actor. The five candidates so far have been killed off in the play's finale. But it doesn't matter. Sacrifices are made in art." What is wrong with this Mr. N's head? No wonder the eyes and mouth of the mask of fear are wide open. It's real fear.
-
Embodied Emotions
Huntress
Here is the diary of the mysterious Mr. N. But it has a unique key. The clue is the detective's warning, "Watch out for Mr. N." I think this means something. The contents of this leather-bound diary are sure to reveal much of the theater's mystery. It takes five masks to open Mr. N's diary. Judging by the shape of the indentations, the first mask is the Mask of Anger. I think I've seen its underside in the amphitheater.
Trevelyan! The mask of wrath you found fits perfectly on the cover of my journal. One thing first. Oh, there's a note next to the mask. It's full of rage! I've staged "The Black Spider" in various forms, but I just can't get over the finale. It lacks the excitement and tragedy of the story, and moreover, it lacks genuine emotion. But I still feel closer to perfection than ever! Mr. N."

Spectacular small container
Huntress
Did you notice that none of the props in the play look like the typical old, cheap stage props? These are all real. I mean, you better pay close attention to what you find on stage. Bring me that glowing vase on the fireplace, please. Just be careful enough!
Oh my god! This vase is filled with mercury! This stuff is highly toxic. Anyway, don't touch the lid. There are a number of lethal items on this stage. What kind of finale could a play with all these props possibly have? I'm glad they're not actors stuck in a place like this.

The Root of Malice
Cardsharp
You've been so busy looking for weapons that you've forgotten the most important thing. It's the motive for the crime. Why are all these fine people trying to kill each other? Good thing we have this card cheater who is always interested in the reasons for unethical behavior. Bring me the folder on the mantelpiece. That'll clear everything up, man.
What's in this folder? I see... this one is a will. By the looks of it, it looks like Baron de Rouville just signed it. This document was prepared by Turen. According to the will, all of the Baron's possessions are to be divided between the Baron's wife and his partner, Count McGrave, after his death. This is quite a motive, eh?
-
Death Accessories
Conductor
Hey, while examining the actors on stage, I noticed something sticking out of Attorney Turen's left pocket. At first I thought it might be a flask of whiskey from the rakugo lawyer, but it looks like a revolver. Bring it to me.
I was hoping my hunch was wrong. The lawyer really did have a revolver in his pocket. I would have preferred a bottle of booze...Hey, why did the lawyer bring a gun to a Christmas Eve party? Something fishy is going on here.
-
Lethal decoration
Huntress
What do you think happens in the finale of the play? I was looking at the decorations and I think there's something about the Christmas tree. Doesn't this speak eloquently about the Baron and Baroness? And it's also the perfect place to hide something. Let's examine this big Christmas tree carefully.
You found a good one! Did you find that in the Christmas tree? It's cute, but it's a set of darts for air rifles. The tips are usually soaked in a strong poison before use. Let's just be careful and leave it on the side.
-
Indistinct aroma
Martha
I worry first of all about the actors' bodies. There is no sign of life in the actors, but they are not dead either. This is some kind of hypnosis! The play stops just before the story reaches its climax. Let's examine the stage carefully to see what really happened during the play's finale. From what we've seen so far, the play comes to a tragic end. That means we need to look for something that doesn't fit with this celebration. I noticed as I walked by the actress that her sparkling wine smelled like almonds. Bring me that glass. I'll check it out.
Oh, I knew I wasn't imagining it. The sparkling wine in Miss Connelly's glass clearly smells of almonds. Look, the Baron's partner, Count McGrave, shows no sign of wanting to drink it... I wouldn't risk drinking wine that smells of almonds. That would be like the smell of cyanide.
-
Faithful spouse
Martha
I doubt that the man next to the baroness is her husband, the baron. What he's wearing is fine, but doesn't look particularly fabulous. A baron would not be so stingy with the contents of his wardrobe. Who is this young man? There's something shiny in his buttonhole. Bring me the item.
Hmmm, that's a golden lawyer badge. He also has a business card. That explains why he is at this dinner party. As the family's in-house counsel, Mr. Turen must have been one of the Baron's most trusted men. But why is this lawyer staring at the young baroness with passionate eyes?
-
Reijin's interest
Conductor
Judging by their pose and placement on the stage, the young man and the woman in the purple dress have just entered. This woman is the only one who shows any sign of concern, but she sees neither the butler nor the man tied to the chair. What she sees is Count McGrave. Who is this beautiful visitor? There's an expensive brooch with a coat of arms on her dress. Bring it to me.
You found a brooch with a coat of arms. There's a ribbon on the pin. It says something. "To my dear wife. "To my dear wife, our first Christmas. Baron de Rouville, 1890." So the woman in the purple dress is a baroness! Then the man next to her must be her husband, the Baron. The way he looks at her is full of passion.

Cruel Methods
Alex
Did you notice the guy kneeling on stage and leaning his head back? He looks like he's out cold. He's even got a punch mark on his face. But why? Well, it looks like this poor guy came in at a bad time. And he was beaten unconscious and tied up. Looks like he's wearing some kind of uniform. Whose part is he playing? Let's examine his collar and the tray that fell next to it.
What does the beaten actor's collar say? Ha ha! Blake the Butler," and on the card in this visitor's tray it says: "The Baron de Rouville's mansion. "Baron de Rouville's mansion." So this is part of a play... but I have no idea what kind of evil magic is holding the butler and the other actors in these poses.

Werewolf Secrets
Huntress
I swear though, that big werewolf is waiting for us at the exit of the dungeon! He's not going to let us go with Alicia's dress in our hands. I'm getting the shivers. If that werewolf doesn't give way, there will be a battle! But look at that locket around his neck... a time-looping amulet. Wearing it makes you invincible. If we want to get out of here alive, we have to take that locket!
This werewolf is deeply wounded. He shouldn't be a danger anymore. Should we get closer? Listen, he's trying to tell us something.
-
theatrical gesture
Isabelle
The next thing that caught my attention on stage was the woman with the wine glass. Her pose, her facial expression. Everything about her exudes confidence and triumph. You should look for her role in this play. The locket around the actress's neck is decorated with a lyre. She doesn't bring it with her. She's afraid to go on stage by herself.
The woman with the wine glass is beautiful and confident. Her clothes are expensive and a bit provocative. What's her role? Let's open the locket we got and see what's inside. I knew it. It's inscribed! It says. "To Miss Elizabeth Connelly, the incomparable leading lady of this theater. "To your loyal fan, Baron de Rouville. In honor of your talent, Christmas, 1888."

Desperate Search
Juliette
Those human marionettes on stage are truly horrifying. And where is the detective? Hey, I mean, we have to find out who is playing what role in this bizarre play. Look, the scene on stage is full of tension. But the man in the armchair seems awfully calm. Would you mind going through his pockets? I'm sure there's something in there about his role.
The man in the armchair is calm, but maybe somewhat too calm. Did you find something in his pockets? Wow, a silver cigarette case. It's inscribed with something. It says. "To Count McGrave. From my business partner, Baron de Rouville, 1890."

Portrait of my daughter
Detective
All that is left is the portrait of Irene Leroy, daughter of Michel and Ellen. Can you help?
Irene in this picture is still a child. I'm sorry to hear that she was frozen to death with her lover. Hopefully the great heat of the heart will prevent her from freezing to death. Maybe someday we can find a way to help Irene and her lover.
-
Portrait of the mother
Juliette
I know how to end the Iceman's suffering and melt the ice that has covered the City of Shadows. The Iceman's soul feels only cold and longs for the one he loves. If he can remember the happy days with Ellen, when he was Michelle, he can break the Snow Queen's curse. The power of love melts the ice." Hurry up and find Ellen's portrait.
Ellen is beautiful and brave. She saved her daughter Irene by sacrificing her own life and leaving her in the City of Shadows. The Snow Queen would still believe that she thwarted the prophecy. But Ellen's power still lives on in her daughter's heart.
-
Regain your memory
Detective
Now we know why the Iceman appeared in the City of Shadows. On New Year's night, Irene's lover asked her to marry him, and her heart burned with a flame so bright that it transcended all time and space. That's how the ice man felt. So he came to the city of shadows, thinking he had found his lover, Ellen. He remembered the warmth of Ellen's heart. And even after she lost her life, the great heart was not dead. A mother's heart was passed on to her daughter, Irene. Find all the portraits that go into the family locket.
That's a portrait of Irene's father. It's Michel, no doubt! He looks very happy.
-
Open Rocket
Detective
I need a small key to open Irene's locket. I think it's down here somewhere. Find it.
This will allow you to open Irene's locket. Inside there is a place for three portraits. Since Irene never knew her parents, there are no portraits of the two of them. There are thin letters engraved on the inside. The power of love melts the snow. Is this another clue?
-
New Clues
Detective
Let's remember how it all started in the first place. The ice man said he could feel his beloved Ellen here. That is why he came to the City of Shadows. But if Ellen has been dead for years, who did the Iceman sense? Let's take another closer look near the gift store.
Was this beautiful locket on Irene's neck? But it's closed. I'm in trouble.
-
Last Sweets
Juliette
All of the Christmas candy that Michelle gave Ellen was wonderful. It's not hard to see why Ellen saved some of them as a reminder of all the Christmases she spent next to Michelle. Let's find the last of the Christmas candy.
Oh my goodness, they are adorable! These snowflake cookies are a baking miracle!
-
Berry Christmas Tree Cookies
Juliette
Now, there are a few more sweets given as gifts. Look closely. Michelle's present should be near here.
Yikes! Christmas tree cookies decorated with candied berries. If someone offered me something like this, I could never say I didn't want it.
-
Biscuit Tart
Valerie
Michel really loved Christmas. Michel's Christmas pastries were the best in Paris. Let's look for other sweets.
This is another artisanal treat. The cookie presents are covered with white chocolate.
-
Beautiful sweets
Juliette
Let's find some other Christmas candy. They should be around here, near the store.
It's a cookie in the shape of a skate shoe with red icing on it. I wonder if I should bake some for the detective?
-
Christmas present
Juliette
I think the Iceman still senses that Ellen is around these parts. That's why he came to the shadow city on Christmas Eve to cause the gift store incident. I did find out that his girlfriend's name was Ellen. I found something interesting in Michelle's diary. Every year he gave Ellen a very beautiful Christmas candy. She kept them in a safe place. If we can find all the candy, Martha can perform the ritual of finding Ellen. What are you dawdling about? Find the candy.
What a wonderful Christmas present. Michelle really loved Ellen. And Ellen loved Michelle. They were really happy.
-
Love of the Great Heart
Detective
We are learning more and more about the frozen gift store. The prophecy about the girl with the big heart involves the fate of the entire world. This is definitely my best case yet. Let's hurry up and keep digging.
Another one from the Snow Queen's castle. A letter. What's it say? I can't believe it. This is the exact same letter that Michel left at the entrance of the store when he went off to war. It says that he wants to marry his girlfriend when he comes back from the war.
-
The warmth of a great heart
Mistress
If the Snow Queen finds the girl of prophecy, the first thing she would do would be to make her deceased. The girl's passionate heart is a threat to the ice kingdom. Let's find something to support that theory.
The Snow Queen's melted wand has been found? Incredible as it may seem, that prophecy seems to be real. Ice magic is powerless in the face of great minds. The Snow Queen could not even come close to the girl, let alone harm her.
-
The Heart of France
Detective
If the Snow Queen had found the girl of prophecy, there would be evidence of it in the Snow Queen's belongings. A map or a note with an address?
According to this note, the Snow Queen has found a girl with a great heart. If I'm not mistaken, this is a map of Paris marked by the Snow Queen herself.
-
Search for 1000 years
Detective
A very interesting document indeed. It predicts the appearance of a girl with a great heart. Her heart will have the power to melt all the ice on earth. In other words, the Snow Queen will be overthrown. This prophecy must have terrified the Snow Queen from the bottom of her heart. And she did her best to find the girl.
Paintings and photographs of girls from various periods. A lot of pictures and photos of girls from different eras, a lot indeed. It seems that the Snow Queen was not wrong in deducing that it took hundreds of years to find the one girl whose great heart pulsated in her breast.
-
fearsome project
Detective
Why did the Snow Queen treat Michel so badly? Who is his lover? Where is she? I spent a long time thinking about how to figure out the Snow Queen's plan, and I came up with one. Remember when the snowmen went to the Snow Queen's castle to save Santa? They came back with many of the Queen's belongings. Many of the items brought from the ice castle were scattered around. They think that one of them might be able to tell what the Snow Queen is planning to do.
Old handwritten document. It is covered with frost. There is no doubt that it came from the Snow Queen's castle. What does it say?
-
military tactics
Juliette
The insignia says that Michelle was promoted with a small unit under her command. I'd be interested to know what assignment she got after that.
A military map held in paper scissors and an order to cross a body of water. In other words, Michel was ordered to cross a river with the enemy on the other side.
-
Soldier's uniform
Conductor
An educated war hero. Michelle is not as simple as she first thought. How long in the world has she been on the front lines?
This is Michelle's winter army uniform. Winter is a hard season for soldiers.
-
Courage and Valor
Conductor
Based on what we found earlier, it appears that Michelle was seriously wounded in the fight. Let's look for other belongings.
What did you find? Let me see. "The Medal of Valor in Battle." Michel was a gentle soul, but he was also brave. And he got a medal.
