The Sacred Urn Heist
- I first received the request from Lordly Tailor about 20 days ago.
- The urn was placed in a box, and Zvarri! It was then sent to the warehouse.
- Hence, I was actually unable to see the urn for myself until the day of the crime…
- I knew it was an extremely valuable treasure, so I sent my card 10 days beforehand.
- I then handled security by myself to ensure that my crime would go smoothly!
- At last, I held the urn in my hands for the first time at 1 AM on October 12th.
Present DeMasque’s Calling Card on statement 2, 3, 4 or 6.
Motive for Murder
- I, Luke Atmey, had no points of contact with the victim whatsoever.
- Kane Bullard decided to investigate Mask DeMasque and simply mistook who he was!
- It was Mr. Bullard who wrote the blackmail letter and sent it to Ron DeLite.
- And it was again Mr. Bullard who harbored a grudge against Mr. DeLite for his betrayal!
- Mr. Bullard’s mistake is quite excusable. The defendant truly believes he is Mask DeMasque.
- That is why Mr. DeLite saw it fit to kill Kane Bullard. Truly a tragedy…
Present the Blackmail Letter at Statement 3.
When asked about the contradiction, Present the Newspaper Clipping.
When asked who the letter was intended for, Present Luke Atmey’s Profile.
When asked what the secret identity was, say that Atmey was a blackmailer.
Present the Newspaper Clipping when asked how Luke knew Ron was Mask.
Answer that you can’t prove it right now when asked for proof.
The Last Testimony
- Indeed, it is true that I was not at Lordly Tailor.
- I had to leave to see about another vitally important job request.
- I had known about the date beforehand, so I had this photograph readied.
- My brilliant deduction was what informed me that the true culprit was Ron DeLite.
- And thanks to the Key Card and Wallet, it was abundantly clear that he was there.
- I was also able to make a deduction from the buzzer, which only sounded once.
- The button did not have any fingerprints on it… Why?
- The victim would have left prints if he sounded it. Which means the killer sounded it.
- Mr. DeLite was wearing his Mask DeMasque outfit, which is why he left no prints.
- And, the blackmail letter? The victim likely just mistook the color of the jewel.
- Zvarri! Therefore, all the evidence points to that poor boy!
Press on the 9th statement.
Luke will breakdown and admit to the crime.
After the trial, when asked to encourage Ron, Present the Sacred Urn.
