After a great deal of running around, trying to solve puzzles, and running around searching for clues, the gang had finally found the actual floorplans. Meanwhile, Richard stepped into the mansion. He knew that his father did not appreciate any sort of interruptions but entered carelessly without any hesitation. He wanted to discuss with his father an urgent business matter.

The 6 guests were roaming around the whole place, looking for exits, letting the floorplan guide them. At the same time, Richard was going through the house looking for his father. He was familiar with every nook and corner of the interior therefore he had no trouble running into the party of 6 on his way. He was unknown to them. They had no idea who he was. So, they immediately drove into the conclusion that he was the sleuthing 7th person present in the house with them. They believed him to be the murderer and shielded themselves with the respective arms they had picked up during their venture.

Richard tried to calm down all of them and told them that he was Richard Malcolm son of Edward Malcolm, and he came in here because he wanted to talk to his father urgently, something business-related.

That being clear, he asked for the whereabouts of the host. The rest of them remained silent, none wanting to be the one to deliver the news. Hailey bluntly stated, "He's dead." Bill asked her why did she tell him so suddenly, so she whisperingly told him, "He's dead." Bill told her to not behave so rudely with him so she answered in an attitude that somebody had to tell him the truth. Richard asked, "How did this happen?" Bill told him that he was murdered in cold blood. He asked them about his father's body, Bill told it was in his office. He went to the office and all of the members followed him because they didn't want to

get lost again. $+

As expected, Richard wasn't too happy when he saw his father's lifeless body propped up in his chair. He angrily pulled down the spotless white curtains from his dad's office and covered his face with it. After a few grunts, he managed to stay collected and politely but with a cocky grin asked the guests if they wished to have some food.

On their way to the kitchen, Hailey quietly slipped away and disappeared from their sight. Where do you think did she went?
