Maria retrieves the key to the study once again to open up the door.

Maria and Clair go into the study where they find Kinzo and Nanjo playing chess together. Clair makes her way back to the books, leaving Maria to investigate.

"Grandpa Kinzo, the culprit took one of your rifles! Detective Maria wants to check out where they're kept."

"The case is right there. Just don't take any out." Kinzo motions to the cabinet next to his desk.

Maria nods, and opens the case. There'd have to be one missing, right?

Maria finds not only an empty spot for the guns, but a missing box of ammo.

An entire case of Ammo? The culprit could get everyone with that! But how long ago did they have it?
"Grandpa Kinzo, did you notice if you had all the guns here before breakfast?" Maria asks.

"I didn't look."

"Uu-" Maria inspects the cabinet, even peering under it for any clues.
"Then, would Genji and Nanjo be the only people who came in here before we all came in just a little while ago?" Maria asks afterwards.

Kinzo shrugs. "That key was in your mother's room, so for all I know everyone but you and that woman pawing through my books came in here today."

"Uu-" Maria frowned. Grandpa Kinzo really wasn't of any help here.
She'd just have to talk to who was left of the family. "Ms. Clair, I'm going back out." she said.

"Very well. May I borrow this for the duration of my stay?" Clair holds up a book and Kinzo nods. With the hint of a smile on her face, Clair follows Maria out of the study.

"Alright, who was the first person to leave the study?" Maria asks back in the hall. "And did anyone see Kumasawa and Gohda leave?"

"Kumasawa and Gohda were the first out, weren't they?" Lion asks and the others nod in agreement. "I saw them leave first as well." Eva confirms.

"Alright, and who left after that?" Maria asks.

The family looks back and forth among themselves. "I think it was Willard, then Jessica, Hideyoshi and Eva, myself, Rudolf, and then you and Clair." Lion replies. "Mom and dad never came in, they went to dad's room to talk finances or something."

"Uu-" Aunt Natsuhi and Uncle Krauss weren't even in there? Normally, that'd mean she could just ignore them, but now this seemed suspicious. If only she could question Kumasawa or Gohda.
Still trying to decide her best lead, Maria goes back to the stairs where they'd discovered Kumasawa and Gohda had been removed from the game.

The group follows Maria to the stairs, where she sees a box sitting under a table.

Maria crawls under the table to inspect the box, and then opens it.

Maria finds that it is a box of ammo, with half the bullets missing.
"Hey Maria, what'd you find?" Lion inquires, crouching over next to the table.
