Step 10

Examine the four clues needed to piece together the truth:

  • Rusty Dagger — Found on the roof, right in front of the broken window you entered through.
  • Account Book 1 — Lying on the table beside that same broken window.
  • Account Book 2 — Placed on the small table in front of the stairs.
  • Broken Window Lattice — Located right next to the window you climbed in from.
Step 11

Once you’ve gathered all the clues, begin the deduction by carefully examining them and connecting the pieces to uncover the truth.

Step 12

After completing the deduction, you’ll hear a horse neigh. Head to the entrance of Riverside Station Prison, where Qi Feijun is standing outside, and speak with him.
