Your goal

Find who beheaded the patriarch in the mountain shrine, and solve the room-logic puzzle of how house rules, room swaps, and a mirror trick hid the crime.

The case

Changyang Mountain never sleeps; coal dust coughs day and night, and Mori Manor sits in the valley like a coin pressed into mud. Hakunen rose from the pits to own half the county, married twice, and inherited a house a feng shui master swore would twist kinship.

Room One's bed faces the door. Room Three sits above buried yin-water. To avoid calamity the Mori family must address one another with deliberately wrong parent titles at every meal. Servants snicker; the family obeys because collapse, silence, and whispered affairs already haunt the compound.

Eldest son Keimei is slow but loyal. Second son Ketsu runs the mine ledgers. Stepmother Saito keeps the inner court quiet. Daughter En sees clearly and says little. After the night of chaos in the courtyard, Hakunen is found in the mountain shrine cabin — altar, bronze mirror, space too narrow to turn around. Official word blames bandits; you must learn who needed his death beneath the crooked eaves.

The suspects

Hakunen
HakunenHead of household

Master of Mori Manor and the Changyang mines; enforced the crooked kinship titles and hid true ledgers at the mountain shrine before his beheading.

Keimei

Simple-minded eldest son who sleeps in Room One and speaks the feng shui title rules without understanding the schemes around him.

Ketsu
KetsuSecond Son

Saito
SaitoSecond wife

Hakunen's second wife, occupant of Room Three, bound by yin-water feng shui rules and rumors of swapped rooms.

En
EnDaughter

The patriarch's daughter, sharp-eyed reader of poetry and household lies; closest witness to what moved up the mountain path.
