"Beatrice the Golden Witch and Beatrice are the same person. Magic was not involved in this homicide, so the murderer did not use a kakera to leave the room... The murderer was indeed Battler Ushiromiya, but the door was sealed during the murder."
Bernkastel silently recited with the Red, confident in these words as they were nearing the complicated part of the murder which was the escape method that allowed this closed room to exist in the first place. However, a certain voice got her attention.
"Ehehe... Battler hid somewhere until Erika left the room after it's investigation!"
From above, the Witch of Miracles could see a familiar face dropping down and hoping to kick her in the face now that she's used the Blue Truth. Still, Bernkastel was confident in keeping this mystery unsolved.
"Battler did not hide somewhere until Erika left the room after it's investigation. Gaap, did you even hear my Red regarding the room being 'empty' during the detective's investigation of the room?"
A stake of the Red Truth sped towards her direction, forcing Gaap to avert her attack and leap back to land on the ground in front of her.
"Aw shucks... I thought I'd do some investigative work with this. Guess the others will have their chances at it better than me~"
"Wha-?"
Gaap had a nervous look on her face, but with her verbal cue, Bernkastel didn't have the chance to prepare for the incoming opposing additions to this logic mystery.
A brief golden flash of energy came to view as Virgilia let herself to be seen the second she began to speak.
"Battler did not work alone, there was an accomplice in the mix."
Upon saying this Blue Truth, Virgilia let loose a spear powered by that Blue, forcing Bernkastel to avoid it. However, it made obvious that she was avoiding to say the Red to deny it, thus making this viable. Plus, her evasion only led her to being surrounded by Beatrice's signature Furniture: the Seven Stakes of Purgatory.
"Battler escaped before the sealing."
"Battler escaped after the sealing."
"Battler escaped after hiding."
"Battler escaped after the investigation."
"Battler escaped before Erika could realize the truth of the situation."
"Battler escaped and returned to Erika's side to fake it all."
"Battler escaped being caught!"
Bernkastel was able to deflect the first one out of the seven with her scythe, as it was the only false statement, but everything else was something she couldn't even imagine to stop. One by one, the six remaining sisters transformed into their stake forms, speeding towards the Witch, piercing into her flesh in a crude way. That wouldn't be all, as more continued to arrive to the scene, pushing for further support for the Players.
""The murder was done with Beatrice's acceptance to it.""
"Too bad, you stuck-up Witch of Miracles~ Nyeh~"
"T-This is our... Blue Truth!"
Both Chiesters 410 and 45 were in sync when preparing their magic bow after their collective Blue Truth, firing it instantly and having it tear through Bernkastel. Blood splattered through the air as the Witch was unable to refute this Blue Truth as well. Before her pathetic body, covered in the six stakes of Blue Truth, could hit the ground, a specific detective and her group appeared.
"Oh Bernkastel~ Did you honestly think that I would die that easily? C'mon now... I'm your best Piece... remember?"
The voice could be easily recognized, and soon enough, the great detective made her Blue Truth known.
"As stupid as it sounds, didn't I, Erika, seal the windows first before the door? That would explain a lot of things, wouldn't it?"
Not once, but with this Blue Truth, Erika swiped at the Witch her scythe of Truth multiple times. Once she had her fun with the downed Witch of Miracles, she backed off, allowing her comrades to have at her.
"Dlanor, Willard, now's a good time for some supporting statements in Red! Robin-kun, if you can squeeze another Blue Truth to further weaken the foolish Witch, this is the time for it too. We need to get our payback for her ruining our date by forcing us to be her Pieces throughout this Game!"
With Erika's command, two well-known Witch Hunters went off to further weaken Bernkastel.
"Allow me to SPEAK. Let it be known that Erika cannot be the ACCOMPLICE."
With swings of both her Red and Blue Key, Dlanor practically sent the Witch over to Willard's direction.
"The accomplice of this mystery is no other than Ange."
Delivering a heavy blow with his sword, it could be assumed that Bernkastel really took a beating from this wave of people opposing her. But of course, she got back up, managing to pull out the stakes from her body.
"You little..."
"All of this doesn't mean that you've exactly solved my mystery though! Even then, there's no easy way to solve it completely! So hurry it up! Fail and screw up! I want to see the goddamn despairing looks already!"
Bernkastel was already losing it, but could the group actually solve this mystery even with this support?
"So everyone, can you solve this mystery that the great detective and her supporting allies had narrowed down for you? It shouldn't be that hard, especially for you, Morgan. You are my cute little daughter, of course~"
Erika gave this reassurance for the players as she jeered at Bernkastel, the mystery supposedly coming to an end.
@EVERYONE
"Well, that makes things more simple. Thank you, my belongings..." Iris Heart said as she would try to make a more serious effort.
"Battler killed that Witch while little Erika was sealing the windows! He then hid near the door while it was sealed until it broke!" Iris Heart would then lunge at Bern and deliver a barrage of hits from her sword.
