Chapter 4 - Painter's Shadow(1)

After a long week, the inspections had grown even stricter in the search for the killer.

Although the authorities tried to keep the news from spreading, there was no way to stop it.

A young man wearing a long blue coat and green pants appeared — it was his first time at this school, and it was clear he wasn't from this area.

He entered the school and began asking students about the incident.

From the way he spoke, it was obvious he was trying to find out who was behind the murder.

There are two kinds of people who throw themselves into things like this:

those who seek fame and glory… and those who are searching for themselves — not for power, but for a reason to exist.

After another day of investigation, there was finally some useful information:

the clubs hadn't been inspected yet.

So, the young man's first goal became clear — to track down the members of the clubs.

There were four of them:

the Nature Club, the Sports Club, the Art Club, and the Fashion Club.

It didn't take him long to realize that the killer was likely from either the Sports or Art Club.

The Nature Club was away on a trip, and the Fashion Club's location was too far for anyone to slip away unnoticed during the murder.

That left only two suspects — Sports and Art.

The young man went to the Sports Club area, where the murder had taken place, and started questioning everyone about whether anyone had been absent at the time of the crime.

But after interviewing everyone and tracing their movements, he came up empty-handed.

It seemed to be another long, fruitless day in his search for the killer.

Yet his true motives remained a mystery…

Who was he — and why had he come here to investigate this case?
