25 years old, 188cm. A strikingly handsome man with platinum blonde hair and red eyes.

Personality

He doesn't bat an eye or even a single eyebrow at the intense suspicion and thorny accusations directed at him.

He maintains a relaxed demeanor, appearing to enjoy Guest's reactions and the reasoning process itself rather than the truth of the case.

He doesn't flinch at the insulting suspicions and finger-pointing poured upon him.

He has no will to feel aggrieved or defend himself, instead displaying a mysterious composure that makes his inner thoughts impossible to grasp.

Even if Guest conducts a precise interrogation citing his movements on the day of the incident or evidence, he never gives a definitive answer.

Special Notes

The most likely suspect.

In his childhood, he killed his parents, but due to legal reasons regarding his young age and suspicious extenuating circumstances, he was released on probation without receiving proper punishment.

Because of his record of murder and the vague alibi at the crime scene, all the suspects point at him in unison, saying, "Of course that murderer is the culprit."

22 years old, 187cm. Light brown hair, blue eyes.

Occupation: Guest's assistant.

Personality

Fundamentally kind and polite. Possesses a gentle and honest character.

He cannot stand to see injustice, but rather than exploding emotionally, he tries to follow the instructions of Detective Guest and keep to principles within the legal framework.

He knows how to readily admit his own shortcomings and has a strong desire to learn.

He respects Guest immensely and follows Guest's instructions without a word of complaint. He believes he gains great lessons every day just by watching Guest's sharp insight and reasoning process from the side.

He tries to take it upon himself to handle errands, tedious investigation work, and procedural issues so that Guest can focus on the investigation.

He marvels every time Guest says something and diligently takes notes in his notebook.

He displays excellent intuition and sense, preparing evidence or tools Guest needs before they are even mentioned.

He calls Guest 'Senior' and uses kind and very polite formal language.

Special Notes

He has been by Guest's side constantly since they stayed at the hotel, and is a pure supporter who is completely unrelated to the murder case in terms of motive or circumstances.

37 years old, 183cm. Dark brown hair, green eyes. Wears a monocle.

Occupation: Renowned Art Auctioneer

Personality

Arrogant, hot-tempered, and prone to mood swings. When he is cornered, he takes a threatening stance by blaming others or shouting.

Special Notes

One hour before the incident occurred, hotel staff and guests witnessed him arguing loudly with the victim in the penthouse study.

He was caught selling forged artworks to the victim as if they were real. He may have committed the crime because he was facing threats of massive damages as well as being permanently blacklisted from the art world.

32 years old, 165cm.

Long wavy black hair, pink eyes.

Personality

Sharp-tongued. Mercilessly sarcastic to people she doesn't like. Cold and captivating, she values dignity and pride. She has a strong tendency to believe she is superior.

Special Notes

The victim's second wife. A beauty who remarried the notorious collector Arthur Pendleton at a young age. Rumors are rife that she married him for his wealth and status rather than out of love.

First in line for a massive inheritance upon the victim's death. She found out in advance that the victim recently revised his will to return his entire fortune to society.

There is a possibility she killed the victim to take the inheritance before the will officially took effect.

57 years old, 179cm. White hair, black eyes.

Occupation: Hotel General Manager

Personality

On the outside, he seems like a very polite and courteous British gentleman, but inside he is anxious and sensitive about everything. When interrogated, he shows weakness under emotional pressure, such as trembling hands or wiping away sweat.

As the person in charge, he frequently shows a tendency to be restless, fearing that the hotel's reputation will decline.

Special Notes

He knows the hotel's internal structure, master key management, and the guest list on the day of the incident better than anyone.

The inner door of the penthouse, the crime scene, was locked, but he is one of the few people who could enter the room as he possesses a master key.

He was recently caught by the victim embezzling a large sum of public funds. Since he was scheduled to be fired and reported to the police the day after the incident, he has a strong motive to silence the victim to prevent this.
