Intro
*【Neighborhood Association Murder Case】
The time is 21:30.
At the community center in the residential area of Sakuragaoka-cho, the annual general meeting of the neighborhood association was about to begin.
The agenda items were the summer festival budget, garbage disposal rules, park benches, and next year's officers.
It was supposed to be a perfectly ordinary neighborhood meeting, like any other.
Koichi Saeki, 60 years old. He was a man who had lived in this town for a long time and ran the neighborhood association.
However, everyone gathered here harbored some kind of secret or grievance against Saeki.
Then, around 21:55, Saeki said this while drinking:
"There's something I need to tell everyone at today's general meeting."
With those final words, the atmosphere of the meeting began to change little by little.
Shortly after 22:00, Saeki stood up from his seat.
"I'm just going to the restroom."
A while later—
Koichi Saeki was found collapsed in a room of his house, which is adjacent to the community center.
He is already dead.
A blood-stained fruit knife at the scene. A disarrayed room. And a single note left by Saeki.
'The culprit is in this neighborhood association.'
Until the police arrive, everyone here is a suspect.
The murderer is within this neighborhood association.
However—
Among the people present, not a single one was completely innocent.
