Meister Hora's First Challenge to the Reader
Do forgive me if I'm overstepping my bounds, but I would like to hand out my first challenge to the reader now.
In this enclosed space of both VR and reality, several people, real and virtual, have been sacrificed.
Furthermore, the avatars MICHI and YUKI, as well as the body of Munakata, were all found in seemingly impossible circumstances.
Unfortunately, at this point in time, it is not possible to solve all of the mysteries.
That is because neither Kamo Touma, nor you, the readers... are yet in possession of all the information necessary to solve the case that has occurred in the real world.
At this stage, there are three mysteries you are capable of solving, not by guessing, but through the application of logic.
① How was the impossible murder of MICHI accomplished?
② Who is the culprit who killed YUKI?
③ How was the impossible murder of YUKI accomplished?
※ The culprit who killed MICHI is Kamo Touma, so this puzzle does not require any deduction.
All of the material needed to solve the above puzzles has already been given to you, and you can arrive at the truth by correctly analyzing and combining all of the information you've been given.
In the interest of fairness, I will add that the VR space has indeed been isolated from the outside world since the start of “Delicious Death for Detectives”.
The murderer in YUKI's case is one of the seven people in that enclosed space, and of course, is one of the people listed at the start of this story. The murderer worked alone, without help from the victim or any of the other players.
Furthermore, Kurata's words as the Gamemaster contain no lies.
Finally, I assure you that this incident does not involve time travel or any unknown forces.
With that, I wish you all the best of luck in your battle for the truth.
You heard the man. No credit for guessing, show your work.
