Snowbound Pursuit
Fireworks over frozen river — four crimes, one night, and a scarf that ties them all.
Single Player
Find who killed the student under the bridge, then use timeline reasoning to separate that case from the three parallel crimes of the same snowy night.
The case
February in Sayama is coal smoke and breath turned white under endless snow. The bridge held crowds for fireworks; by dawn it held sirens instead.
Sato Shizuka was twenty-two, a student, and not a stranger to Hondou Clinic — townsfolk tie the clinic to an older story about a red scarf, though few agree on the details. Clinic owner Hondou, fleet boss Fukuda, steel worker Hayashi, and Hondou's son Honkita each spent that night somewhere their stories cannot square. The dance hall, steel plant, and clinic each report their own violence before dawn.
Search the river bridge, Hondou Clinic, the red-lantern dance hall, and the steel-plant gate. Press for sedative sources, scarf patterns, sled drag marks, and how parallel crimes overlap in time. Hondou controls the clinic narrative, Fukuda guards fleet cash, Hayashi carries seniority grievances and a missing hammer, and Honkita answers in gentle fragments that may crack under precision.
Fireworks light one evening; they do not light every truth. Your first question is who left Sato Shizuka under the bridge. Every witness you press may open another door in the same snowbound night.
The suspects
Owner of Hondou Family Clinic, father of Honkita and the late Hondou Mimi, known for iron control over his household and patients.
Captain of the Sayama freight-truck fleet, entangled with dance-hall lover Ryu Reisen and embezzled petty cash.
A steel-plant worker long passed over for promotion and housing, who carried a wooden-handled hammer on the night of the fireworks.
Hondou's cognitively impaired son, gentle and childlike in manner, who often spoke with Sato Shizuka and appears incapable of harm.
