A servant came in: "Master!? I go to call the Doctor immediately!!"

Rukai (worries, tries her best to comfort her father): "Father, be brave!"

Cain checks the thing on the floor. It's a Japanese hair pin. He stares at the hair pin and thinks: This is . . . So. . . this is your real motive . . . !? Emiru !!

= In the Dinning Room =

Merryweather was awaken by the noises. She holds a candle and checks around. She saw Emiru opens the window and tries to escape. . .

Merryweather: "Emiru? What're you doing!? It's dangerous!"

Emiru (talking and climbing to the roof top): "You big mouth! Don't come close, woman !"

Merrywather (angry and follows Emiru to the roof): "Why not! I used to climb onto the roof top and play!"

Cain (finally arrived and was shocked when seeing his sister and Emiru are on the roof top): "Emiru !", worried about the two children and so climbed out to roof top as well, "You two . . . Come here!"

Emiru suddenly hold Merryweahter's shoulder and says, " You come any further and this girl maybe fallen down too?"

Merryweather (don't know what's going on): "Emiru . . . !?"

Emiru: "You . . . You knew it was me . . . Why . . . "

Cain: "Being obsessed by poison, I can understand that . . The poison Akonichin which killed Madame Abigail . . The criminal stole it from her . . . But, before the death of Madame Abigail, a Spirit Call was called. So, it's impossible to make her take that poison. And so, how did the poison leak into her body? After her death, I saw that her right hand colour was changed. . . That's right . . . That kind of poison can be absorbed by skin. . . Since the rule of the Spirit Call is [Never Let The Hands Off], that meant all participants must hold hands together . . . Suppose the hand who held Madame Abigail's hand got poisoned. . . "

Cain Explains What He Found
- Cain follows Emiru to the roof top.
He explains why he knew Emiru was the real murderer -

Rukia chased Emiru and she finally found her younger brother. She also heard what Cain just explained. . .

Rukia (don't believe what Cain's said): "Wait . . . Wait ! But, if it was true, the hand got poisoned would also be dead. . . "

Cain (takes out a piece of cloth with some ashes inside): "This is the left over ashes of a mental thing thrown into the oven that night. Haven't you seen the other wing of the butterfly?"

Rukai (iris expand and it seems that she just realized something): "Ar. . . !"

Cain: "Yes . . . To prevent poison leaked into his skin, the criminal wore special gloves and he used the part of glove with poison to hold Madame Abigail's hand . This is the remain part of the burnt poisoned glove. Look carefully and it's not difficult to find that this tiny metal is in fact a part of the zip-fastener on the glove. The pattern of the zipper is very special. It looks like a left wing of a butterfly. And the other wing is still kept by the criminal !"

Emiru stands still and listens what Cain's said.

Merryweather looks back and see Emiru is emotionless. She also see that Emiru's right glove zipper has a butterfly wing pattern.

Rukia: "Why . . . Emiru . . . ? "

Cain (shows the Japanese hair pin to Emiru): "It's because of this, right?"

 

The Mystery is Solved At Last by Cain.
- The strong evidence is in Emiru's glove.
The glove zipper is a Butterfly Right Wing pattern ! -
