Ep. 2: The First Move Reveals a Hidden Resident and a Deadly Mystery

2

During dinner, the eighteen guests remain silent about who gave Maria her umbrella, sparking suspicion of an extra person. Maria then reads a letter from Beatrice warning that she will destroy the Ushiromiya family unless the portrait’s cryptic epitaph is solved. George proposes to Shannon, asking for her answer the next day by wearing the ring on a chosen finger. The following morning, Krauss, Rudolf, Rosa, Kyrie, Shannon, and Gohda are missing, and phone lines are down. Natsuhi reports a red symbol on the tool shed. Battler, Jessica, and George investigate to find the missing individuals brutally murdered inside, with Shannon wearing George's ring on her left ring finger.
