The Messenger added some background to the video, saying, "The scene takes place during summer break. A college couple went on a trip into the mountains, and the other four people were also there separately. They all met when they sought shelter from a sudden downpour.

"After the rain stopped, it got dark, and since they couldn't leave the mountains, they had to spend the night at a small inn together.

"The hotel isn't spacious with the other rooms all occupied. They can only squeeze in for one night.

"That's all the background information. The rest can only be found in the video.

"Now, I'll play it a second time."

As the video was about to replay, Athena confidently said, "You don't need to show it again. The woman in the red dress is the ghost, and the guy in the white shirt is the murderer."

She elaborated, "When they all entered the room, the door opened inward, but when the woman in the red dress left, it opened out into the hallway, which is strange.

The guy with glasses also pulled the door inward when he exited, confirming that the door should swing into the room. It's clear the woman is a ghost-she can imitate humans, but she doesn't know how to open the door properly." Everyone nodded in agreement.

Athena pressed on, "Now, as for the guy in the white shirt, I have three reasons to think he's the murderer.

"First, there were only three channels on the TV-local news, a shopping channel, and an online class. No matter how you look at it, most people will choose the news program.

"He claimed he wanted to buy health products for his parents, but instead of paying attention to the TV, he was too busy flirting with his girlfriend. If he was interested in shopping, he would have been watching that channel instead of ignoring it. "Well, why would he do that?"

She continued, "He might have avoided the news because it could feature a report about his crime, or even show his face on a wanted poster. That's why he didn't want anyone watching it. Everyone discussed in low voices and then nodded.

Second, when he casually pocketed the remote, that's just not something most people do. It's strange behavior, especially since he's holding onto it despite how boring the shows are.

"It seems to me he was worried someone would switch to the local news."

They nodded again.
