| Location | Summary |
|---|---|
| Meta-World | Battler expresses surprise that he was killed. He thanks Beatrice for this, as it means he is innocent. Beatrice affirms such, confirming in red that Battler was killed by the culprit and is not one himself. Also, Erika is the detective and is not the culprit. Ange appears, expressing solace in the fact that this information has finally been revealed. Ange tells her brother to put in more effort or else the witch's game will never end. Battler declares that he will solve this game, and Beatrice leaves it up to the detective to conclude things. |
| Main Hall | Erika inspects Battler's corpse, finding that he really was stabbed in the back. She expresses gratitude that Battler's death has given her more proof as to who the culprit is. |
| Study | Erika goes to the guesthouse and tells the group that Battler has been murdered. They go around and inspect all the crime scenes again. They see that the seal to the study is still intact and go inside to see that the corpses haven't been moved. |
| Guestroom | George and Hideyoshi's room also shows no signs of being tampered with, and Erika asks Nanjo what the status of the chain lock was. He says Battler was the first to enter, and the door had always been open. There's no traces of the wire cutter being used. |
| Garden Warehouse | They finally check the garden warehouse, having confirmed that all the seals of every crime scene is intact. Erika confirms that 13 people are dead: Kinzo, Genji, Gohda, Kumasawa, Kanon, Krauss, Hideyoshi, George, Natsuhi, Jessica, Rudolf, Kyrie, and Battler. The survivors are Erika, Eva, Rosa, Maria, and Nanjo: five people.
Rosa demands to know why they're rechecking all of the crime scenes, and Erika asks Maria what she was doing when Battler was killed. She says she was with Rosa and Nanjo. The seal in Eva's room is still intact, so it's impossible for her to kill Battler's family. Erika then announces she knows who the culprit is and asks everyone to gather for the solution's reveal. |
| Meta-World | Beatrice defines what a culprit is and lists several things in red. Battler asks to verify all of the purple statements that have appeared, Beatrice guarantees that he can find the answer with the information provided. She dares Battler to challenge her with everything he's got. |
