"No. This is me now. And that bastard Neku got what was coming to him."

It also...smelt like sage so...Osamu...or Neptune...could probably explain why.

"In A3, Mr. Dazai and I went to a storage area, where we found Chika and Kaguya. It was so messy, and everything smelled like sage! I guess we smell like it 'cause we were there, but then I don't know why Chika and Kaguya don't smell like it, too! Mr. Dazai smells like chemicals too, though. He tried to show me some creepy potion bottle that smelled like ammonia... I didn't like it very much."

In Dinying Car B I found two pudding bowls out that had been consumed and there was a faint smell of sage in the room.

A bonying knife was placed in the steak knife drawer, but a steak knife was missing.

"Hey! I investigated the Ghost Kitchen, and one of those boney knife things was missing from there!"

Normally Steve would go immediately into fetal position, however he's gotten a newfound sense of confidence. He looks back at Neferpitou, and gives a thumbs up. "I spent that time dispensing justice. Do you really need to know more than that?" He says in a calm voice.

Neferpitou is taken aback by the raised thumb, they haven't encountered such a gesture before.

After getting over the shock and seemingly a little more relaxed they muttered;

"What does justice have to do with the locations you visited during this period of time? I'm only asking about the locations.

And what's up with that... thumb?! I don't get it."

I have a thumb because I came from monke. You are not from monke. I understand your confusion, and I hope that despite our lack of common knowledge of thumbs we can look past those differences and be chill with one another. Oh and for my whereabouts, action 4 I was in storage, action 5 I passed through Room Hall B, then viewing car A, then phantom viewing and finally Operator. A6 I went to the transport room, and that's where I was when I heard the spirits chime. I hope that works for you, my non-monke friend."

Now, I investigated Room 1 and Room 2 of room hall A. Room 1 was pretty untouched for the most part. Not a lot of people went there tonight. Someone was asleep there though, for quite some time too. The room was also searched by someone before me, did anyone else investigate that room? Simon's body was also missing, and the room was pretty messy overall. Room 2 was even more untouched except for one thing. There was a dark stain on the floor, which was probably wine, and footprints leading out into the hall. That is all the information I have."

"We can probably rule out the Mysterious Ninth Person hiding out in Room 2 then. Given that Lance's keykard was on Hayasaka's body, I'll go out on a whim and say the Mysterious Ninth Person hid out in Room 1 while everything was going on. Maybe they opened the door, planted the card on Hayasaka, then ran in there while everything was going down. Something like that."

Kiryu points at Red. But the pointing is with a fist.

"Oi. I don't appreciate you putting suspicion on Majima. He's telling the truth, we were with each other almost the whole night. Definitely not enough time alone to kill someone, especially after the fight we had. I won't repeat what he said, and my investigations into the Transport and the Kitchen are as Rinko and Neptune said. The pickaxe Majima used for fighting is missing yes, but he didn't have it when we fought together. I have no clue where it might've gone."

"I had just slipped into my room finally, and that's when that explosion was set off.

If Ramona is the Mysterious 9th Person,

Ramona's room is Room 6 in Hall B. Ramona did not claim to be the 9th person.

Narrator: Shirogane has not only regained his composure, but is ready to take charge!

Train Ghosts. Other than the one door that leads out into the Hall, are there any ways in-or-out of Room 3?

Ramona, where did you get that lantern from?

When was the last time anyone saw either victim alive? I haven't seen them myself since yesterday's trial.

Red. Who was with you in Viewing A during [A6]?

"What are you talking about? When did I say anything about suspicions? I just commented on what he found."

"Ramona, Kiryu, Majima. Then they left."

"I passed by...Maddox at A3 in...viewing room B. He was carrying a bag of things...and smelt like sage. He said that...he knew a way to...keep the spirits away and...wanted to make one for everyone. He...went into the suite... after that."

[Vaellin the Bard]

Train Ghosts. Other than the one door that leads out into the Hall, are there any ways in-or-out of Room 3?

"No way that the living can take. Though I suppose with enough tools and determination you might be able to break through a wall. Though considering the explosion it might take even more than that. So no, no means except through the door as dead as the sacrifices. "

"I'll go out on a whim and say the Mysterious Ninth Person hid out in Room 1 while everything was going on."

"I think you are absolutely correct that 9th person hid in Room 1 and I know exactly who they are! The 9th person is actually non other than Laura! How do I know this?"

Kaguya then brings out a piece of paper

"What I have here is the written alibi from non other than Ms. Danni who is currently not present with us so I shall reveal it on her behalf!"

A1
Suite -> Chika and Hayasaka

Ghost Viewing -> Kiryu, Majima, Hayasaka

Operator -> Neferpitou, Neptune, Hayasaka

Room Hall A -> Hayasaka

A2
Unconscious

A3
Room Hall A -> (Saw Miyuki and Inugami briefly)

Room Hall A -> Hayasaka

Dining Car A -> Hayasaka, Maddox

A4
Dining Car A -> Hayasaka entire time

A5
Dining Car A -> Hayasaka

Kitchen -> Hayasaka

Room Hall A -> Hayasaka

Room 1 -> Laura

A6
Room 1 -> Laura

Room Hall A -> Hayasaka

"As you can see. Danni had seen Laura in Room 1 during in A6 which confirms that Laura is indeed the 9th person! It also confirms that Hayasaka was last seen alive during A5 which means she definitely died around that time! I also find it suspicious that she was unconsious in Room Hall A during A2 so its possible she might have been attacked by the killer!"

Narrator: KAGUYA-SAMA: ACE ATTORNEY!

[Sachi]

"Why did you shout as if you were going to refute me?! We're agreeing! Agreeing!!"

[mao]

Ishigami proceeds to give out his alibi before Mao goes to sleep.

A0: I started out the night in Viewing Room B. Alone.

A1: I headed to Dining Car B to grab a bite. Ramona was here for some tea, and Miyuki... I meant the President, came in looking for Kaguya. I decided to accompany him and we walked back to Viewing Room B.

A2: Miyuki asked me about what cars had been moving around, so I told him. We heard Rinko's singing echo from Dining Car A and decided to head that way - and now, when I say decided, I'm not sure what I mean. I was going that way, to Ghost Operator, but something was... pulling me, metaphorically speaking. On the way there, we saw Neku with an axe in Ghost Suite, Rinko in Dining Car A using the karaoke machine and Danni unconscious in Room Hall A. Inugami walked into Room Hall A from Ghost Operator at the same time as we entered the room and stayed with Miyuki to see what's going on with Danni. I continued to Ghost Operator, where I saw Neferpitou and Kiryu.

A3: Me and Neferpitou have a chat as I stare at the control panel in the room, and Kiryu leaves to Ghost Viewing. Ramona and Miyuki both pass by at different times, both coming from Ghost Transport and leaving towards Ghost Viewing. On the control panel, I saw what rooms were occupied - a logical conclusion I drew after I saw Ghost Transport turn off on the panel when Miyuki entered. It was not working properly, so I only saw glimpses of activity. Ghost Storage and Ghost Viewing seemed to be occupied the whole action. Ghost Transport was only occupied until Miyuki entered. Ghost Kitchen was empty until the last five minutes. Ghost Suite was occupied until the last five minutes.

A4: I decided to help Miyuki look for Kaguya and the rest of the Student Council. After sharing my findings with Neferpitou, we left Ghost Operator together to pursue the President. Unfortunately, he had gotten a headstart. There was no one in Ghost Viewing. Ramona had tackled Red in Viewing Room A. We passed by Neku in Room Hall B, going in the opposite direction, and saw Steve going through some crates in Ghost Storage. We stopped for a second to catch our breath. I found something odd... No cars were moved during this action.

A5: Chika surprised us by jumping out of a crate. Steve left the Ghost Storage, heading toward Room Hall B. The three of us continue to follow Miyuki's trail. We saw Dazai and Neptune in Dining Car B, eating pudding, and pass by Inugami and Rinko headed to the Ghost Storage. There's no one in Viewing Car B. We are reunited with Miyuki and Kaguya in the Ghost Suite. That's when we heard the explosion.

A6: Worried for Hayasaka, I lead everyone to Room Hall A, where the explosion originated in. In Viewing Car B, we run past Dazai and Neptune headed in the opposite direction - presumably because Room Hall A switched places at the start of the action, and I'm the only one who knows where it is, exactly. In Room Hall A, we find Danni and... well, you all know the rest.

After listening to most of the people's answers and conjectures, Ken responds to Rinko's words.

"This is true, I start looking for Rinko after hearing her sings when i was with Kiryu, Majima, and Goromi in Ghost viewing. I found and stayed with Rinko in Viewing room B as she look through the cabinets."

"I can also confirm that Mr.Maddox was in the ghost suite at A3, although that also reminds me about something i found peculiar. there was some shattered pieces of metals in the room and the suite was heavily damaged, more so than back in the daytime."

"The game of Mancala was left there by me and Rinko, while we were playing Kaguya enters the room and did something out of sight before moving on to the next room."

"I stayed with Rinko until she ran off south after looking at some blank book. I tried messing with it but it was just a normal empty book."
