distorted time
Kira Woodville
Among the items the doves have stolen from the perpetrator's hideout is an important clue that leads to the identity of the perpetrator. What I find curious is the strange hourglass. There is something...wrong with it. What do you think?
Yes, it is. The sand in this hourglass flows from bottom to top. It seems the killer knows how to manipulate time. Hmm... I have heard information about a similar person from a colleague in Lower City.
-
connect the dots
Mr. Black
This culprit is really getting on my nerves. It is now a matter of my honor to expose him for who he really is. To that end, let's check out what the pigeons brought back from their hideout. I think I saw a scrap of a photograph. Can you find it?
Okay, I think I found a scrap of a photo. It shows a part of a wall, or a hidden door, but it looks familiar. I see! This is what I saw in the classified case evidence!
-
Distinctive objects
Mr. Black
Thanks to the pigeon's habit of stealing, we have a few clues. It may lead us to the identity of the culprit. Let's get right to it. What do you think of this violin-shaped brooch?
Yes, it is. It is possible that this brooch means something. A souvenir, or something stolen, I can't imagine, but maybe the killer was a musician in the past. Or maybe he was simply a music connoisseur.
-
Listen to the sound of the bad guys
Mr. Black
If we send out pigeons to save them, let's give one of them a bug to listen in on the culprit's hideout. Of course, the sound will also tell us if the pigeons are safe. Find Mike.
You've found the best microphone. It is so sensitive that it can even detect the footsteps of a rat sneaking into a criminal's hideout. I'll put this in the bag I put the pigeon in.
-
invisible shield
Leon
My pigeons save my colleagues' pigeons. There is no other way. I am so worried that I might lose all my pigeons. Keira told me that she had the defensive dome brought to the dovecote. Can you please find it?
I see that you have brought a defensive dome with you! As I understand it, this device creates a barrier that protects the pigeons from anomalies, various weapons, and energy influences, in short, "magic".
-
Latest Inventions
Kira Woodville
Rescuing trapped pigeons with pigeons. This is quite a challenge. The stolen dove is supposed to be trapped in a birdcage. How to open the birdcage and save the pigeon? Find a lock-picking robot.
The robot you found is the latest invention from the Security Service. This robot recognizes the keyhole and opens the door with a universal key. It is so lightweight that even a pigeon could easily carry it.
-
Spy Weapons
Mr. Black
Okay, let's rescue Leon's pigeon. At the same time, we're going to investigate the perpetrators' hideout and their activities. One of the pigeons we send out will have a camera. Let's see if it works.
Nice, the camera works fine. By the way, this was created by the Security Bureau back when they used pigeons to conduct surveillance. Even if they fail to rescue the pigeons, at least they will be able to locate where they are being held.
-
Searching for missing pigeons
Leon
I have something that can help save missing pigeons. My pigeons have a beacon in case they get lost. But the beacon has stopped working. Probably due to fog. Can you help me find a small radar?
This is a radar that tracks my pigeons. If I release the pigeons, they will fly towards the culprit's hideout. If I give the pigeons a signal booster, this radar should be able to detect the pigeons caught by this radar. However, there is no booster.
-
color of thought
Leon
I am not comfortable opening an old parcel, but I am trying to figure out why the culprit needs the parcel. It also contained a wire that my pigeons would have enjoyed. Is this also a part of the device?
These colored lights...um, did you say sensors? What does it react to? Vila says it's something that reacts to electrical signals in the brain.
-
In-depth research
Mr. Black
Check all the packages! Don't miss a single one that the killer might be after! Vila found a bottle with something disgusting in it. It seems to be important. Do you know what this is?
He said he examined the bottle and found that the slime was a kind of snail mucus. What on earth would they use it for, no way, as a conductor of electric current? What were you scientists doing...?
-
The Power of Thought
Leon
Examine an old parcel that you think may be of interest to the perpetrator. Thanks to the device sketch, I noticed that it contains something suspicious. Can you find the electrodes?
So there were electrodes! Looking at the sketch, I am pretty sure this is something that is worn on the head. According to Vila, this is used to measure brain activity. Let's see... bioelectrical impulses! Very interesting!
-
energy converter
Vera
The killer said he was interested in an old parcel, but what was in it? In the package, I found what was described in the sketch. It's a piece of equipment. Let's check out this battery.
Thanks to you, I have solved the mystery of this battery. It converts energy into impulses similar to those that occur in the human brain. Let's call it a neural battery. I'm curious as to the purpose of this component.
-
Mystery Model
Mr. Black
This old parcel that the killer wants, I'm curious to know what's in it too. I opened it and examined it, and a sketch of some kind of device caught my eye. Let's check it out.
Any idea what this device is? Logically, the killer's goal would be this device. I had Keira call Veera Wright since the station staff is out disarming bombs.
-
Tools of the Past
Kira Woodville
To find the culprit's hideout, we need clues. So, let's examine what the pigeons have brought in the past week. We are interested in a screwdriver with an unusual coating. Let's take a look!
Can you see traces of erosion caused by fog on this driver? It must have been left in the fog for a long time! It is an old shaped tool, like the ones used by the lighted husbands in Carlos' youth.
-
Hidden Treasures
Mr. Black
Assuming the culprit believed he was being watched by me, the pigeons would return here. We can locate the culprit by examining the stolen artifacts. What about this rare artifact?
Mm. This artifact is a rare artifact from the time of the defenders. I have only seen such an object once before, and that was in a sketch in the archives. The dove must have found this in the fog. There are a lot of unusual things in the fog.
-
Useful Accessories
Mr. Black
Does it indicate where these objects came from? To me, these look particularly odd. Oh well...try to find the alarm whistle.
You found an alarm whistle. These whistles are used by collectors to keep them from getting lost in the fog. How did I know about it? I saw that Vila had one. She used to use the pigeons a lot.
-
Light in the Mist
Mr. Black
By examining the objects brought back by the pigeons, we can determine where they have visited recently. What I'm interested in is this thing with the crystal on it. What do you think this is?
Yes, it is. This crystal is part of an anti-fog lamp. If the pigeons stole this from the killer, then the killer must be in the fog. Maybe he lives in the fog. Is the killer a forager?
-
sacred plant
Kira Woodville
The first thing that caught my eye among the items the pigeons brought back was a strange plant. It may be something that grows in the area where the culprit lives. Do you have any idea where this plant grows?
Thanks to your examination of the young shoots brought back by Leon's dove, I now know that my suspicion that this is what was in the mist is correct. Did the dove fly into the fog and then return? Or did the dove steal this from the culprit?
-
like wind
Leon
The missing pigeon, "Lady," would have returned here if only she had not been caught. She is the fastest flying carrier pigeon in town. Have you heard of Lady? Take a look at her trophies!
The "Lady" received this fastest bird trophy from the mayor himself! Even if it's a letter you want to send urgently, you can count on Lady to take care of it. Anyway, "Lady" is eager to get back here as soon as possible.
-
LITTLE HEROES
Leon
I can only assume that my pigeons were caught by the culprit who sent the fog bomb. Above all, pigeons have a homing instinct. Some pigeons show amazing bravery to return home. See that medal?
This medal was awarded to "Emerald". I am very proud of our dovecote! In the early days of the Sheriff's Department, they used to send secret letters by carrier pigeon. Did you know that?
-
Calling from a distant home
Leon
Believe me, my pigeons are in danger! My pigeons are in danger! As long as they are not captured by unidentified villains, they will come back. Look, look at this "marshmallow" certificate!
Marshmallow" was awarded this certificate after flying the longest distance as a carrier pigeon. Moreover, even though Marshmallow flew through thunderclouds, it did not get lost, nor did it lose any letters!
-
hard worker with a strong sense of responsibility
Leon
There is no doubt that the missing pigeons were stolen. I trained them myself to come home. There is no way they could have gotten lost. Take, for example, this award-winning obi by "Peggy"!
This sash belongs to one of the missing birds, "Peggy". It was given to her by a citizen as a thank you for delivering so many letters that it became a record. Peggy made 10,000 deliveries and never got lost!
-
honor student
Leon
My pigeons have never strayed or failed to return. Let me explain why. Somewhere in here is a special mark I made for my favorite pigeon. Can you find it?
This award band belongs to the best pigeon I have trained, "Apple". I gave it to him as a proof that he never strayed. I have since been unable to wear it...
-
bird's nest
Mr. Black
So this is the aviary. I still don't understand why they still use carrier pigeons. We're going in with caution. There could be a real bomb in here. Be careful!
It smells awful, like musty paper. And the feathers! Look, there are pigeons roaming free. Not a single cage. Shush! All I want to know is where the bomb is. Where is it?
-
Burning Passion
Eli Montague
The music and acting were great! The love story between the prince and the shepherdess was also wonderful...I was especially captivated by the moment when the throne caught fire. Has that fire been put out yet?
The throne is still burning, but it doesn't seem dangerous. When the prince gave up the throne to marry the shepherdess, the throne caught fire, but it looked like a real flame and for a moment I was horrified.
-
The Glitter of Wealth
Emma Luxmore
The most beautiful moment in this play was when the lovely prince gave his treasure to the devil in order to free the shepherd of the woman he loved. Can you bring the treasure back to me so I can return it to the vault?
Yes, this treasure is real. We decided to use the real one because the fake one looked shoddy when we lit it up with a footlight. Besides, it was a very impressive scene when the prince saved the shepherd from the devil using the Laxmore family heirloom.
-
The Shadow of Talent
Mr. Black
I'm not really interested in the play itself, but I was invited by Luxmore to attend. It was a pretty good play. It was especially powerful when the devil promised to give the shepherdess the power to rule the world and offered her a crown. Was there a ruby embedded in the crown?
The moment the devil offered the shepherdess his crown in exchange for her soul, I thought the crown was tinted the color of blood. Well, I guess it was just an optical illusion.
-
illegal or black-market transaction
Robert Luxmore
The play has finally come to a close! Maybe the play will reveal some clues that will help us in our investigation? Now, Sophia, dressed as a shepherd, is leading a flock of white lambs in a song... Hey! Did you see that? The lambs are changing color!
Yes, the lambs on the stage have changed color from white to black. They were white when we received them...but something strange is happening around the female shepherd. Keep an eye on her.
-
Thank you to our supporters
Ursula Hartley
I am against lending museum exhibits for musical theater, but when it comes to a request from the Laxmores, who have been long-time supporters of the museum, it's a different story...help me find the shepherd's staff.
This is a shepherd's staff that was once actually used in the city. Please give it to Mr. Hayes...but handle it carefully.
-
A deepening mystery
Detective
You have a tin box buried by the tent. Open it quickly. Is there nothing but grain in there? I thought for sure there was tape in there.
-
Tree Watch
Hana Chong
I've got one theory... maybe Yumi hired a private detective to watch her husband from an inconspicuous location. Let's look for hidden cameras.
There's a camera in an old tree cavity. It looks like Yumi or someone was secretly filming something. But why is the camera pointed inside the tree?
-
Unobtrusive location
Hana Chong
Let's check out Yumi's house and identify the location indicated by the markings on the map. Could there be a rare item buried there, or is it a secret rendezvous? Let's find out together.
You say you found a tent that blends in with the garden environment? Surely... it's designed in such a way that it would be inconspicuous if placed in a garden. Who on earth would put it there and for what purpose?
-
Yumi's Secret
Hana Chong
Next, let's take a closer look at the gazebo in the garden where Yumi used to rest. That's where I saw a small piece of the map. Help me find the rest of the pieces.
You found the map! This is the house where Yumi lived with her husband. Next to it is a rock inscribed with "The maid will show you in." is engraved on a rock. Hmmm...looks like Yumi was hiding something from her husband.
-
Music in the Garden
Detective
She also told me about the day she and Yumi were separated. She said she was taking a walk in the garden during her lunch hour. And from that garden, she said, she heard strange laughter every night. Let's check out the garden.
I found a gramophone in your yard... but I don't see the label on the record. I would like to know about the record on the phonograph, but all I can hear is a high-pitched sound, like birds chirping. This record seems to be broken.
-
Creepy escape routes
Detective
To catch the jewel thief, you have to go down into the tunnel. Light the fire. We don't know where this passage leads. Let's hope it doesn't lead to a den of scoundrels.
I checked the tunnel and found a burnt glove. The thief must have burned them to destroy evidence. But why was he in such a hurry?
-
underground passageway
Hana Chong
I see no evidence of forced entry. All display cases are intact. Then, the storage room is the only clue. Let's carefully examine the storage room for hidden doors or soft walls.
Amazing! How did you realize that there was a secret passageway under the floor? So the tiles under the mop and bucket were fake... and the secret passageway was hidden under those tiles.
-
Valuable clues
Detective
Let's return to the reconstruction of the crime. According to witnesses, the robbers dropped something as they fled. But I don't see anything here. Help me look for evidence.
The torn bracelet was found by the shed door, right? If so... the thief must have entered the store through that shed and made off with the stolen goods. But by what means?
-
False Observers
Hana Chong
There was a security camera in the store where the damage was done. I was not aware of any security cameras being used in town, nor did any witnesses mention it. I played back the footage to see if it showed the thief.
Upon examination of the security camera, it was found to be a fake. It seems that the cameras were installed not for security purposes, but to intimidate visitors by giving them the illusion that they were being monitored by the cameras.
-
Responsible Roles
Ollie Articus
Oh, hello! I am collecting wildflowers at Sophia's request. She says she needs wildflowers for inspiration for the stage. But I was so busy picking daisies that I lost my flower basket. Have you seen it?
Thank you for finding the basket with the flowers in it! Smelling the fragrance of the flowers in the meadow is invigorating, isn't it? I am happy if the flowers help Sophia in her attempt to play the role of a shepherd.
-
Prima Donna Dresses
Fabien Delamode
I understand that Luxmore is reprinting an old music play. I am looking forward to it! I have taken on the costume design. The costumes for the main characters are already done. Would you like to take a look?
This costume has wings and is designed to give a fragile impression. We got the idea from fairies. I have heard that the play has mystical elements, so I reflected that in the costume design. I am looking forward to the first performance!
-
Entering a shed
Detective
They returned to the crime scene for an investigative experiment. According to witnesses, the thief entered through a door with a melted lock. Let's look for a door that fits the testimony.
You found a door with a melted lock. This door leads to a storage shed... but all you find here is an old mop and bucket. Why would the murderer break into the shed if there is not a single item of gold?
-
Second Chance
Rayden Storke
Since the paints were found in my grandfather's safe deposit box, the Luxmore siblings will think he is an artist from the Luxmore family for example. I don't disagree with that, but let's look for anything that might be related to my grandmother.
Thank you for finding the box! It is very light, so I assume the contents are paper? The box is closed but not locked, just an apple-shaped indentation on the lid. But I did somehow figure out how to open it.
-
Stained ornaments
Detective
The black sparrow still holds a grudge over the Dokuraku incident and may try to harm Juliette and take revenge on me. So I need a sure defense. Look at this bracelet. See the trick?
You know exactly what I'm talking about! The bracelet has a lot of pepper in it that will make your nose twitch. Put it on, wave it in the thief's face, and he will sneeze and leave the scene.
-
Mystery Cuisine
Ali Vazir
As you were conducting your research, Mr. Stokes, you focused on cooking with eggplant. It was very discerning of him to come to me, a professional cook, for advice! I made more than a dozen dishes using eggplant. Can you identify one dish from these that your grandfather particularly liked?
It's a great answer! Mr. Stokes said that Ajapusandari is his favorite eggplant dish. If this is indeed your grandfather's favorite dish, this could be useful information for your research.
-
password divination
Rayden Storke
Huh, that's tricky! I can't believe that a clue to the Stokes family's past is right in front of me, but I can't open the box to find out what it is unless I know the password. No matter what I try, it fails, and unless a miracle happens, it's impossible. How about enlisting the help of a fairy?
I knew the mechanical fairy prophecy was very abstract, but why eggplant! But come to think of it...I have heard from my grandmother that Grandpa Ted loved eggplant among all vegetables. Maybe the watchword has something to do with eggplant.
-
very like the real thing
Detective
Dogs make excellent bodyguards! But Juliette is too busy to take care of a pet. So I prepared this bag. Take a look!
There is no dog in that bag, but the growling and barking coming from it is very realistic. Hopefully this will scare off anyone who tries to attack Juliette.
-
Hairpins for tracking
Detective
Juliette often takes off her ring when she's doing chores, and it would be a disaster if a sparrow kidnapped her while she was doing it. I've prepared some tools for just such an occasion. Take a look.
It's a special hairpin. There is a transmitter embedded inside the beautiful ornament. If Juliette is kidnapped by sparrows, we can receive and trace the signal emitted from here. Then we would be able to find her in no time.
-
legal heir
Rayden Storke
Why did it not occur to me to go to the bank? The bank had an Edward Stokes safe deposit box with valuables in it. But in order to open the safe deposit box, I would have to inherit it. How can I do that?
I did it! The Five Wise Guardians of the Mechanism, who always make fair decisions, have recognized me, Edward Stokes, as the official heir. I can now open his safe deposit box! That is, if I can find the password...
-
silent witness
Sophia
Indeed, music theater would be a wonderful subject to tickle the artistic senses. I would write a vaudeville or operetta on the subject of the Amethyst Nightingale... Hey, maybe the advertising columns in town would help? Let's look for it.
How did you find it? The ads are thickly layered, but if you flip through them, you should find an ad for the Amethyst Nightingale Music Theatre. If you're lucky, you might even find the catalog of performances.
-
Craftsman's handiwork
Sophia
Emma told me about you. She said you are looking for the Amethyst Nightingale Theater. I've never seen the theater, but I've seen stage sets with the theater's emblem on them. It looks like Avocado got it from somewhere. I'll show you where I found it.
This stage set is old, but so beautiful. See the amethyst nightingale among the carefully painted leaves? Did you quickly find the painter's signature? Yes, this is the work of "E. Luxmore!
-
Special Keys
Detective
I've taught Juliette how to pry locks, but she says the keys are too tough and she doesn't want to wear them. Would you be willing to work with me to find a special key that she might like?
You have found a key that Juliette will like. If she is about to be kidnapped by sparrows, this key will allow her to pry open any door and escape. I hope she carries this key with her.
-
clear melody
Rayden Storke
I have never heard of a music theater called Amethyst Nightingale, but with amethyst in the name, the theater could be near where the crystals are mined or processed. Let's look for clues.
Wow, you found the keys to the Amethyst piano! It looks very old, so it must be a special order from the Amethyst Nightingale Theatre. But where is the theater?
-
Warning rings
Detective
I would like to give Juliette a ring with a special structure built into it. There is a hidden button hidden amongst the beautiful patterns that will send a signal to me if I press it when I am in danger. Will you look for it with me?
Thanks for the help. The button on the ring is inconspicuous, so if you don't even know it's there, you won't notice it first. When I press the button, a signal is instantly sent to my watch.
-
Invisible Tracker
Hana Chong
Your suspicions are well founded. Given the black sparrow's ability, no security or safe can stop it from stealing. We have hidden an electronic bug in the safe in case the prey steals the soles. See!
These tiny insects are the size of the tip of a needle and nearly impossible to see. When a criminal steals a solitary insect, the detectives and I track him down and then arrest him.
-
independent evaluation
Detective
Buddy, I know you have your suspicions about the operation. But I've got the dokura hidden in a safe, and I've got eyes on it at all times. Just take a look at the safe with your keen eyes.
You must be amazed. The intricate lock, its weight, and the wonderful golden pattern that can only be seen by those who understand and can open the secret combination.
-
waiting list for invited guests
Hana Chong
The fake auction must be flawlessly conducted. Rumor has it that a few Upper City residents will be there as well. We will need a lot of numbered tags. Can you help us collect them?
Thank you for helping us collect the number tags. This is the last one, right? Invited guests will start arriving shortly.
-
Key Findings
Rayden Storke
I understand that there are no files on the Luxmore family in the Sheriff's Department records vault, but why are there only a few files on the Stokes family? I would like to somehow find my grandfather Ted Stokes' file, can you help me? Maybe I am not looking in the right way.
I'm glad you found it! The file says "Edward Stokes"...I thought Ted was a nickname for Theodore, but it could well be Edward. This could be a reference to the Luxmore family.
-
honorable mention
Rayden Storke
Is there any material on the Luxmore family in my grandmother's files? I'll check...I don't see a file with any material on Clarissa Stokes. I'll look again in the filing cabinet...oh? Something small fell out. Could you look for it and pick it up?
This defense award is inscribed "Mrs. S". There was no file for Grandmother Clarissa in the box, only this one. I could see that she had defeated the bad guys, but beyond that, I am not sure.
-
missing
Rayden Storke
The records storage is damaged from the fog, so I'm going to have to do a lot of work. Somewhere in here there should be my parents' files. The Sheriff's Department is probably investigating my parents' disappearance...so let's look in the filing cabinet.
I went through the papers with the last name "S" in the paperwork container and found documents about my parents... it says "missing since the house fire". But I know this from an old album from my grandmother's house. Is there any other documentation?
-
Clever fishing bait
Adeline Svensson
Dokuraku is a powerful artifact that attracts the interest of many residents. To fish out the culprits, we'll hold an auction and "sell" the dokuraku. Have you received an invitation yet?
I've sent that same invitation to all the residents. Now we just have to wait for the black sparrows to bite the bait and show up to steal the dokuraku.
-
Phase I
Detective
Hannah and I made a plan to catch black sparrows. Whoa, Adeline sent me the latest newspaper. I'll explain the plan, and you can read the paper.
What you had the newspapers report is a lie. We haven't repaired the monocle, but the black sparrow would love to have it back. To escape justice. It's all part of the plan to lure the killer.
-
Message from the Creator
Isabelle
I could examine the pattern on the dokugaku. It looks like the pattern on a compass, and I've seen it before. While I clean up the experiment, look for a scroll with a similar symbol on it.
You found a scroll with a seal in the shape of a compass. The same pattern can be seen on the dokuraku. I think I know who created this artifact. Let's read what it says.
-
test procedure
Isabelle
Dokugaku is not dangerous. But it does interfere with space in unusual ways. We need to do some tests to find out how. Find the relay in the test box.
With the relay in that test box, we can flow various energies into the Dokugaku to see what happens in the surrounding space.
-
Mass of another dimension
Martha
Perhaps Dokugaku contains chaos, and that's dangerous for us. Find the balance of order. We'll know if it's safe to synchronize it with our dimension.
You have found the balance of order. On one plate you put the weights corresponding to our dimensions. And on the other plate, I will put a dokuraku. I hope they balance well.
-
window into reality
Martha
Now that we've removed the unwanted energy from the dokuraku, we can now examine the purpose of the dokuraku. To do that, we need to place the object on a crystal pedestal. Can you bring it to me?
The crystals on the pedestal are having a strange reaction with the dokura. Some disappear, others increase threefold. The space around the monopod has been distorted, revealing a window into another reality.
-
Secrets of Purification
Martha
The detective brought an interesting artifact. There is no doubt that the Dokuraku contains magical power, but it needs to be purified first before it can be examined. Bring me the purification box.
Thank you! This box absorbs all the energy covering the artifact, leaving only the energy of the object itself. Let's put Dokugaku inside and observe what happens.
-
Witch Fragrance
Mistress
I'm here on business! You seem to think that detectives have sharp noses, but then you should ask your own nose where I've been. Maybe the smell of your perfume will give you a clue.
That's quintessential! Didn't the perfume smell lead straight to the home of the shaman I was visiting? She's an old friend and I wanted to get to know her house. Lies? Why would I lie?
-
Old Facts
Detective
I should have talked to the collector first! I know it's been a while since I lost my footing. Maybe they're waiting for me to let my guard down. Let's go through the old files.
There are some similarities between the collector and the sparrow case. They both can go back and forth between the city and the real world. But they are two different people. The collector kidnapped the victim, while the sparrow seems to be interested in knick-knacks.
-
Invisible Bird
Roger Doubledeal
Alibi? I'm here to hunt. I'm going to catch the strangest two-headed bird in the world to put on display at the zoo. What, there's no such thing? Fine, I'll show you.
Have you found the two-headed bird? I couldn't catch it, and I shouldn't. It's a beautiful bird, but it's terrible to peck. They are beautiful birds, but they are terrible when pecked. I guess you have to get them to miss you first.
-
literary work
Conductor
What are you talking about? I don't know any sparrows. Alibi? I'm here for a literary event. I'm going to read poems and illustrated stories in a house. I also have a novel of my own. Come on, let's go find out.
Have you found my novel? It's not finished, but I've already finished the synopsis. You look incredulous. Ask Valerie. She helped me write it and sat next to me at the event.
-
Unusual beverages
Cardsharp
You've got the wrong guy! I'm not the thief! The ghost bartender and I came here to get some ginger pear juice, but we couldn't find it because of all the commotion. Would you look for it with us?
That pear ginger juice is exactly what I'm here for. The bartender and I want to order a dozen juices from the merchants here to deliver to the Red Rose Cafe.
-
The Master of Persuasion
Hana Chong
The department believes that the culprit is a master of the art of persuasion using the nunchuck. The thieves often leave rings at the victim's house for the purpose of persuasion. Let's look for it.
Nunch's ring was in your pocket? And you don't even remember who gave it to you or who you talked to? That's the killer's art of persuasion.
-
Spirit Speaker
Hana Chong
The perpetrator was called a spirit storyteller by the department's police officers because he appeared as if he were being empowered by a spirit. Another trademark of the thief was his red shaman's hat. Was it in the vicinity?
I knew it! The fact that this hat was placed in the square indicates only one thing. The culprit is planning a big theft. And that theft will take place here.
-
Mere imitations
Hana Chong
The perpetrator is a master forger, and fake jewelry is often placed at the crime scene. See that gemstone shining over there? Use a small loupe to examine it.
It seems difficult to fool the two of you. Your jewelry is certainly a fake. But many jewelers have been fooled by these gems. Even after detailed examination. They are almost indistinguishable from the real thing.
-
karma of theft
Hana Chong
There is no known way for a burglar to break into a victim's home. While the method of entry is unknown even to those with expertise, the culprit leaves a neat and tidy bag. They must have been placed in this location as well.
The thief's bag always contains the same set of items. A crowbar, a rope, and gloves. Of course, no fingerprints or other traces are left behind. The thief uses the bag as a distraction.
-
Master of Disguise
Hana Chong
The Police Department has been tracking an extremely cunning thief for many years. Wherever this criminal has appeared, there have always been wooden haftar masks that have fallen. Let's look for the masks.
The masks are a symbol of change. The thief we are chasing is a master of disguise, and after five years of pursuit, we still have not been able to determine whether the perpetrator is a man or a woman.
-
Traces left on paper
Detective
Let's continue our search of the vicinity. A tray with traditional paper dolls was overturned across the square. The fugitives' footprints continue there. Let's examine one of the dolls.
What a cute little paper doll! I'm sorry the killer stepped on it. But buddy, take a closer look at this doll. There are two kinds of footprints. It looks like the killer was being chased.
-
giant tortoise
Detective
I'm always on the lookout for things that "shouldn't" be on site. Like that big turtle over there. Even an adult could hide inside its shell. Let's check it out.
I have never seen anything like this before! A visitor to the festival told me that the turtle knot is a traditional game at the Chuseok Festival. It's pretty big, but I don't see anyone hiding from it.

Changing Lives
Robert Luxmore
Come to think of it, my parents used to tell me that if I did anything wrong, I would end up working at the post office. I wonder if anyone who was expelled became a post office worker? I hope you have a clue...
Awesome, thanks for finding the old postman's hat! I don't remember where I found it, but my dad used to get mad at me when I played with it. Too bad it doesn't have a monogram on it.

hidden talent
Emma Luxmore
Isn't that the man who painted the portrait of the dog that my great-grandmother loved so much? My great-grandmother cherished that painting, but she always changed the subject when I asked her about the artist. Look for the artist's signature.
The painting is signed on the back! The artist's last name is listed as Luxmore, but the name is only initials. If he was exiled, it's possible he changed his last name after he painted this. Is there any way to find out what happened to him?

Picture of the Future
Detective
We need to interview witnesses. There must be someone who saw the gunmen. We're gonna go through every house in this block. Hopefully we won't get lost. That brightly colored poster looks like a map of the area. Give it here.
The poster depicts this very city block, but the tower is not real. It's as if there's a science fiction park nearby. Is this a TV tower? Do most residents around here like to watch TV?

The truth is in the food.
Detective
Can you smell it on you? There are many food stalls around here. Let's interview the cooks. They are surely watching the suspect. And while we're at it, let's ask them to serve us some delicious food.
There's some nice smelling bibimbap on every stall. But no one saw the gunmen. Buddy, isn't this a little strange?
-
Glowing Clues
Detective
To catch the gunman, the first step is to inspect the scene. The shooter is always hiding somewhere. Let's start with that torn lantern. Do you think it looks like a bullet hit it?
I don't see any bullet holes in the colorful lanterns. You think so too? The string that hung the lanterns must have been cut. Could it have been the killer?
-
Lovely couple.
Robert Luxmore
Someone was exiled by the Luxmore family? Hmmm...that story reminded me of an item in our collection. It's a ring adorned with a dandelion in perpetual bloom and a set of heirloom rings. Can you help me find it?
This ring dandelion won't die as long as it's next to the heirloom ring. This gold ring was worn by a man in the family. Maybe one of them fell in love with a commoner and left the clan for her.

breaking off (one's engagement)
Eli Montague
If the portrait was just missing, it could be explained by thinking it was accidentally peeled off and lost... but I found a torn wedding invitation in the Luxmore family archives. Odd, isn't it? Let's look for it.
There must be some reason why there is a torn wedding invitation among the documents. The writing is faded and unreadable, but it could be that someone in the Luxmore family was expelled for refusing an arranged marriage.

Missing portraits
Eli Montague
While researching the Luxmore family archives, I noticed a feature in one of the family trees. One of the older pages or portraits is missing. See.
See? There is one blank space in the portrait section of the family tree, and the name below it has been erased. Not even a branch has grown up on the family tree, and the person's very existence has been erased. Perhaps he was expelled from the family...

Access to information
Rayden Storke
I am sure that I have absolutely nothing to do with the Luxmore family, but I am happy to be in charge of this investigation since Director Black has granted me access to the Sheriff's Department records depository. Speaking of which, where did the bureau badges go?
Thank you for finding my bureau badge. If I had lost it, Director Black would have been very upset with me. Now I can find out what the Sheriff's Department knows about the Stokes family and prove that my grandfather is not of the Luxmore family.

Ancestral Mysteries
Rayden Storke
That wealthy Luxmore family has new tastes, they say. They are trying to solve a mystery in the city, and apparently that mystery is related to me. Since they seem to be serious, would you be willing to help them solve the mystery?
I have an ancestor who is no longer related to the Luxmore family with the surname of "Stokes" and he wants me to find out if he is my grandfather. I have received an order from Director Black to investigate and I cannot decline. Please see this.

Very lively festival
Detective
There seems to be no danger in the bustling square. There are lanterns, food stalls, and music. But first impressions are a dangerous thing. I have a bad feeling about this... Come on, buddy. Keep your eyes peeled!
Hmmm, it's just like a festival. Everyone seems to be having a good time and not making a fool of themselves. But look, there's a guy running through the crowd. Is he going to be late for the rendezvous? Oh no, I'm getting swallowed by the fog!

A New Step Forward
Ollie Articus
I would like to conclude the coming of age celebration with a dance performance by Robert and Emma. Since we don't have anyone to show the two of them how to dance, we should have a figurine that mimics their dancing skills. Would you please go find them?
Thank you! With these ornaments, the twins will learn basic dance techniques, add improvisational elements to the melody, and carve graceful steps into adulthood.
-
target practice
Robert Luxmore
To test our resolve, Ollie came up with a fun challenge. Target shooting with arrows. The Luxmores are taught how to use weapons, but I never thought I'd see the day when my experience would come in handy. Where's the bow and arrow stand?
Thanks for finding the bow and arrow stand. My sister and I haven't practiced in a while and I'm not sure if we can shoot at the center of the target, but Ollie said all we have to do is shoot at the target. That should be easy.

Clarification of thoughts
Ollie Articus
As an adult, you will need to be able to articulate your thoughts clearly. The twins will be able to handle the creation of sentences with aplomb. We will provide you with paper, and while you are at it, look for a fine quality quill pen.
Thank you, I am very pleased with the quality of the quill and the quality of the quilts! These fine quill pens are perfect for the Luxmore family! I have asked them both to write about what it means to be an adult. Bart will write a poem about it and Emma will write in a prose-leaning format.

Food Preparation
Emma Luxmore
Ollie told me that I am an adult now and should be able to make my own meals. I wasn't sure where to start, but my brother had just found a recipe for cookies in the kitchen, so we baked them together and had a lot of fun! The cookies should be cold by now, can you bring them?
We ate these stylish cookies during our evening tea time. It gave us a sense of accomplishment to make such delicious food by ourselves. But it must be tiring to cook every day...
-
costume selection
Robert Luxmore
What a wonderful idea to celebrate coming of age! Ollie asked me to do a few things for him. Let's get right to it. First, he wants us to wear the formal attire of the Luxmores. To do that, we need Jabo. Will you help me find it?
That's a nice jabot. Very stylish! I don't know how long ago it was, but the man in this ancestor's portrait wears one just like it! I would look like a fine member of the Luxmore family if I wore it. That is, if I can put it on properly...
-
Forgotten Rituals
Robert Luxmore
This stone is supposed to summon the Luxmore clan, but this particular calling bell seems to summon something made of crystal. I hear a melodic resonance... can you help me track down the source of this together?
You have found a pair of crystal swords! I have heard about the Laxmore family ritual of using crystal swords. It was a ceremony that conferred special status on military personnel, as I recall.
-
Stone of Summoning
Robert Luxmore
The scroll says that the Luxmore clan can be summoned by a stone. But we have only ever summoned servants with a doorbell...yes! Oh, by the way, there was a special doorbell with crystal decorations. Where did I find it...
I am sure it is that doorbell. It was in my father's study, but I had never rang it. But let's take this opportunity to ring it. Did you hear that? It's as if something is resonating...
-
deciphering a scroll
Eli Montague
If you can read this scroll, you may learn something about the Laxmore family's mission, but you cannot read the faded letters with the naked eye. You will need the record keeper's glasses.
Thank you very much! These archivist's glasses are indispensable when dealing with old documents. I see...there is indeed a description of the mission and some kind of stone on the scroll.
-
Key Findings
Eli Montague
I see many old contracts in the safe that may have historical value. But I don't see any mention of the family's mission. Huh? There's a scroll here, too!
This scroll is hard to date. The paper does not look old, but the text is completely faded. Mr. Luxmore wants to know what is written on this scroll, but it looks like it would be difficult to decipher.
-
Secure storage
Eli Montague
The Luxmore family's mission, or Bert's family, knows how to close good deals and keep secrets, so I think there is a secret safe in the records vault. Let's find out.
I knew it, it's there. This is the secret safe! It took some effort to open it... This safe hasn't been opened in a long time. But today, a young man from the Luxmore family came here to learn a family secret. Isn't that wonderful?

Easy-to-use box
Isabelle
The black ball lightning is getting pretty close. We need to neutralize it before it reaches the city residences! I found the blueprints for the trap that will neutralize the anomaly, but there is one thing missing. A box to hold the machine. An old mailbox will do, if you can find one.
Thank you. This mailbox is sturdy and the perfect size to hold the anomaly neutralizing machine. Once inside, the black ball lightning should discharge and disappear.
