Reveal
With the truth exposed, the guests left Ballinger Manor, no longer bound by Lord Ballinger's secrets. The once-majestic mansion now stood as a witness to the dark deeds that had unfolded beneath its grand chandeliers.

(Reflecting)
Detective Ian
"Sometimes, it's not the masks that hide the truth, but the secrets behind them."
As they left the manor behind, Detective Ian and Rui knew that they had unraveled a tangled web of lies and uncovered a mystery that would linger in the whispers of the manor for years to come.
In the days that followed, the small town🫀 surrounding Ballinger Manor buzzed with gossip and intrigue. The once-sleepy community was abuzz with tales of the dramatic masquerade ball turned murder mystery. Detective Ian and Rui were still hard at work, determined to bring every loose end to a close.
Rui
(Examining the letters)
Rui
"These letters reveal a web of secrets,
Rui
But they don't tell us who the victim was going to expose Lord Ballinger to.
Detective Ian
Hmm "You're right Rui
Detective Ian
We need to find out who was brave enough to confront Lord Ballinger
Countess Amelia
(Approaching)
Countess Amelia
I couldn't help but overhear
Countess Amelia
I believe I know who the victim was going to expose.
Countess Amelia

It was Sir William
Countess Amelia
They had a heated argument just before the murder."
Detective Ian
(Determined)
Detective Ian
"Thank you for your help, Countess.
Detective Ian
We'll talk to Sir William
Confronting Sir William, they discovered that he had been trying to protect someone close to him from Lord Ballinger's blackmail.
Sir William
"I had to confront him. I couldn't let him ruin their life."
Rui
"We understand, Sir William.
Rui
But there's more to this story."
