"The first mystery of the case is,
just why was it that the victim felt inclined,
to go off all by his lonesome
to a room, then willingly drink the poisoned wine?"
And so, the one-armed Detective
spoke his words without pause relentlessly,
and the girl stayed there before him
as she listened on quietly.

"It's elementary, my dear,
for the man knew far ahead:
When the clock hands struck their number,
fate would end up with him on his deathbed."

So, who's the culprit, dear?
But of course, you would know? Don't feel you should lie.
The one who would know would be you, I know,
for the crime unfolded before your eyes.
So, who's the culprit, dear?
That's okay, you can shy, you can leave it unsaid.
I'll give you the answer, say it in your place:
I will bring out the mystery's end.

"Second mystery of the case is,
how did each of them come to fall into the sea?
Were they all innocent, too?
Or is that what the culprit wants us to think?" [*1]
Then the girl reached back to her pocket,
hidden knife grasped tightly in her palm.
The Detective seemed not to notice,
for his words carried on without pause.

"There was just one mistake--
it was not my plan's intent:
The one thing I'd never factored
was the other Detective's presence."

So, who's the culprit, dear?
But I already know your answer, of course.
The fact that I know should be no surprise,
for the crime unfolded before me and more.
So, who's the culprit, dear?
That's okay, you can stay, just relax, it's fine.
The riddle needs an answer: let's get a start
together, both you and I.

"And the third mystery of the case is,
as the breeze from the sea came rolling by,
when it blew through her hair, what,
at that point in time, went through her mind?"
And then, the one-armed Detective,
with his eyes narrow, turned so grim as death.
The instant of shadow was choking,
it had left the girl without breath.

"After the crimes hit an end,
I see you, my dear darling.
It was then you arrived here before me,
with that knife in your hand that you're hiding."

So, who's the culprit, dear?
The Detective, without missing a single beat,
stole from her hands the unsheathed knife.
With a clatter, she lost her final means.
So, who's the culprit, dear?
Don't you see? They're right here, right in front of your eyes!
Come on, dear, say it now! Say it aloud!
Say the name that could only be mine!

Honestly, I never
wanted you to know-- Upon all, I'd vow.
As my last act of mercy,
if you want to run, you should do it now...

So, who's the culprit, dear?
But you can't say there's only "one" answer here.
You'll need to be quicker with your words,
for the means for such will soon disappear.
So, who's the culprit, dear?
Come now, haste your pace, or these hands of mine
will catch up and find you, give you your end.
You're about to run out of time.

So, who's the culprit, dear?
But of course, you would know? Don't feel you should lie.
The one who would know would be you, I know,
for the crime unfolded before your eyes.
So, who's the culprit, dear?
Don't you see? They're right here, right in front of your eyes!
Come on, dear, say it now! Say it aloud!
Say the name that could only be mine!
