Tsubaki Household

The **Tsubaki Household,** also known as the **RAIN, NPIR, Lincoln Household,** is located in Tsubaki District at the foot of the city of Mistral. It is the main base of operations for Team RAIN and their allies during Arcs 3 and 4.

Akane claims it is a four-bedroom house, meaning it is likely multiple rooms have been repurposed as bedrooms.

## Appearance

The household is a large two-story house, its architecture and interior taking on a somewhat east Asian style.

## Inside

### Ground Floor

#### Living Room

The living room is a square room with white walls and a brown wooden floor. There are three dark leather sofas arranged in a square around a coffee table.

#### Training Room

The training room is a bare room decorated much the same as the living room. There is a large mirror on one of the walls.

#### Kitchen

The kitchen appears to be an adjoining room to the living room.

### First Floor

#### Robin's and Marron's Room

Robin's room shares the interior design of the rest of the house, albeit with more green present in the colour palette. A double bed with green sheets sits against the north wall, with a sofa against the west wall. A window with green drapes sits on the east wall, with a desk next to it and a wardrobe in the southeast corner. Roderick Lincoln's sword, Redhilt, is mounted on display above the bed.

#### Akane's and Nanako's Room

Akane and Nanako's room is fairly small, with a single bed against the left and right walls, each with sheets in the respective colours of their owner.

#### Nyssa's Room

Much like Akane and Nanako's room, Nyssa's is fairly small. Her bed sits against the left wall, with a TV against the right and a mirror to the left of the door.

Jin, Isambard and Petra share a room with a sofa facing a bay window.

Belle Coulson

**Belle Coulson** (nee **Sweeney**) was a fashion supermodel and a talk show host. In the episode "It Would Be The Death Of Me" (S05E18), she announced about writing a tell-all book regarding all her secrets. Due to this, Belle was murdered in her home.

## Solution

Edwin Goodman was able to determine Belle’s husband, Mark, as the murderer. It was discovered that Mark was actually the half-brother of Janice Lewis. According to the notes Belle wrote in her secret box, Belle was driving the car and was the one responsible for the incident which led Janice to be disfigured and paralysed, officially ending her career and ruining her life. However, Janice did not remember the situation.

But, Mark discovered the secret box and the notes, realising that his wife was responsible for his half-sister’s career end. Mark decided to kill Belle, doing so by staging his exit to work and re-entering the house as Clark and shooting Belle dead, he then tore away the pages in the manuscript regarding Clark.

However, Edwin pinpointed Mark as Belle’s killer through the test results of the skin particles found under Belle’s nails. The police matched it with Janice’s DNA (since they did not have a copy of Mark’s DNA), with the match being 65% – a sibling match. Mark also stepped on wet paint when he parked his car during the murder, indicating that Mark parked his car close to the house first to murder Belle.

Edwin and the police confronted Mark when Edwin visited Janice and accused her of murder, only for Mark to appear and defend his half-sister. Mark eventually confessed in murdering his wife and the police arrested him.

So, Karen decided to kill her husband by slowly poisoning him with small doses of arsenic in his champagne, making it look like he died of natural causes.

Prince's plan began to unravel when he knew about Lisa's business going bankrupt, so he decided to kill Lisa and stage it as a suicide. Prince had set up his gear to kill Lisa when he visited her in her house. First, he knocked her unconscious by bludgeoning her, then he placed her in the car and ignited the engine, Prince then locked the garage and Lisa eventually died of carbon monoxide poisoning. Prince, while he was in Lisa's house, destroyed every connection he had with Lisa.

The next step of the plan was to have the deputy chief make him the investigating detective for the case and have Edwin step down. However, Edwin was reluctant in giving up his position as a consultant. Therefore, Prince decided to challenge Edwin to investigate with him, as a face off, with Prince playing dirty by diverting suspicion away.

But the spear's package was unopened and no-one saw the spear before, let alone the inscription.

**Cindy Kendall** is the surrogate mother for *Vanity Fair* supermodel Rachel Allen; Cindy was pregnant for Rachel's child. Towards the end of the episode "The Sins Of Vanity Fair" (S04E14), Edwin Goodman unmasked Cindy, along with lawyer Marilyn Webster, as the culprit behind Rachel's murder.

Cindy was selected as Rachel's surrogate to bear her children, since Rachel can't take the risk of losing her career after giving birth. Cindy happily agreed. But when she discovered Rachel's cruel treatment towards her adopted children, Cindy wanted to cancel her contract as a surrogate.

Cindy went to see Marilyn Webster, Rachel's lawyer, to have the contract official. However, Rachel refused to sign the contract. Fearing for her child's future with the cruel Rachel, Cindy decided to kill Rachel. She managed to convince Marilyn to help her commit the murder since Rachel mistreated Marilyn.

The plan involved Cindy confronting Rachel in her estate to give her one more chance. After Rachel refused, the outraged Cindy grabbed a knife from her purse and stabbed Rachel. Cindy then left Rachel to bleed in her room. After Cindy left, she contacted Marilyn to finish off Rachel and take the surrogate documents. When Marilyn arrived, Rachel was still barely clinging to her life. Marilyn ultimately killed Rachel by suffocating her with a pillow. Upon finishing her evil deed, Marilyn escaped with the surrogate papers.

But Edwin Goodman was able to uncover the conspiracy between Cindy and Marilyn through Marilyn's connection with Rachel and her family. When Cindy was brought in for questioning, eventually Cindy contacted Marilyn to represent her, indicating their connection because Marilyn was the lawyer for Rachel and her family and friends, including Cindy. Another evidence that gave away Cindy and Marilyn as the culprits was the phone call Cindy made upon wounding Rachel. Now, why would Cindy contact Marilyn at that time? It could only mean that Cindy stabbed Rachel first and Marilyn arrived later to finish off Rachel. The surrogate papers were found, along with Marilyn's resignation from representing Rachel. With all these details connected together, Cindy confessed in taking part of murdering Rachel and the two conniving women were arrested.
Carol Dutton

**Carol Dutton** was a gossip columnist who was notorious for her scandalous topics that involved celebrities and high society. Carol was found dead in the middle of the road in a motorcycle accident, which Edwin believed to be murder. Carol was the murder victim in "Killing Over Spilled Tea" (S06E03).
Irving Powell

**Irving Powell** was the town burglar of Kentville and the first murder victim of the episode "How To Kill A Witness" (S01E02).

Irving was not only notorious for being the town burglar, he was also a womaniser. To which his girlfriend Melissa Anderson did not approve of. Irving charmed Louise Walsh, the pharmacist Phillip Walsh's wife.

Irving also charmed Tara Glendale, the wife of Travis Glendale. Eventually, this started a conflict between the two. When Melissa finally confronted Irving about his problems, Irving decided to end his kleptomaniac ways and stop womanising.

As his final act of burgling, Irving decided to break in the Glendale household, where he was stabbed and killed. When the lights were switched on, it was determined that Travis killed Irving out of rage. On the trial, primary witness and dog walker Richard Denton claimed that he saw Irving break in and have an argument with Travis, resulting to Irwin's death. Travis was found guilty of second degree murder and was sentenced in jail for fifteen years with chances of parole in five years.

## Solution

The paroled Travis hired detective Edwin Goodman to reopen the case to prove his innocence. Eventually, Edwin unmasked pharmacist Phillip Walsh as the true culprit. It turned out that Phillip was Irving's accomplice in the burglaries. Phillip trusted Irving for income. But when Irving decided to stop burgling houses, he killed Irving by sneaking into the Glendale household before Irving (because he knew that Irving targeted the Glendale house) and stabbed him with a kitchen knife. Phillip switched on the light and escaped, not knowing that Richard saw the entire thing, framing Travis for murder.

Phillip bribed Richard to lie in court that he saw Travis kill Irving rather than him. This led to Travis serving fifteen years in prison with parole.

Five years later, Travis was granted parole and Richard decided to tell Travis that Phillip killed Irving. So Phillip decided to kill Richard as well to silence him. He framed Travis once again for murder.

Edwin made Phillip's connection to Irving and Richard through the deposit of $150,000 from Irving's account to pay Richard. The $150,000 can be traced from the convertible Richard bought. As for Irving's murder, Phillip claimed to see the light switched on at the time of the murder from his house. This was not possible as the kitchen window was facing away from Phillip's house, the only way he could have seen the light was on was when he was in the crime scene where he murdered Irving. Phillip confessed and was arrested for Irving and Richard's murder.
Elliot Cromwell

**Elliot Cromwell** was an accountant for the *Jeremiah Woodrow Memorial Bay* tourism business and the accomplice to embezzling $1 million. Elliot appeared in the eleventh season's eleventh episode "A Honeymoon To Die For".

Elliot helped his fiancée (and tourist business owner's daughter) Janet Westbourne steal $1 million from the tourist business in Kentville by siphoning it to a separate account. Then the account would later be conjoined with Janet and Elliot's account to gain access to the money. However, Elliot had conjoined their accounts too early, making them easy to track down and indicted for embezzlement. Janet and Elliot argued regarding this situation, with Matthew Watson overhearing everything.

Edwin has deduced Elliot as Janet's accomplice when he suspected the engagement diamond ring and a booking in an expensive hotel. Additionally, these expenses would lead to Elliot's account and then the incriminating siphoning account. Lt. Harry Jensen interrogated Elliot, he crumbled and confessed in taking part of the embezzlement. Elliot was subsequently arrested for the embezzlement of $1 million.

## Trivia

* In the first draft of the story, Elliot's character was different:
	+ He was supposed to be a second killer.
	+ Elliot was supposed to be Trent Goring,
	+ His role was different, too – Trent was a jeweller who worked alongside Samantha who discovered his jewel smuggling scheme. He was Samantha's killer.
	+ But, in the final draft, Trent's jewel smuggling role was given to Sophia Langston and Samantha was not murdered.
	+ Trent became Elliot, who was given an embezzling role with Janet Westbourne, the main villain of the episode.
Bruce Whitaker

**Bruce Whitaker** is the younger brother of Major General Peter Whitaker. He was the murderer of Lieutenant General Ferdinand McArthur in season eight's seventeenth episode "Service Without Honour".

Bruce was proud of his brother's military career, despite having no intentions in joining. In fact, Bruce looked up to Peter and would do anything to uphold his reputation.

Bruce was quite aware of Peter's deed in Afghanistan — Peter was first lieutenant at the time when he committed cowardice. No one else witnessed this act but Ferdinand McArthur, who was colonel at that time. McArthur and Peter decided to keep this as a secret.

Ever since, this secret had been tormenting McArthur, not wanting to be part of the military anymore. McArthur decided to contact Peter via voice message to meet him in the plane hangar to discuss about the cowardice. Bruce received this message and decided to go instead of his brother.

When Bruce had arrived, McArthur was surprised. But he still continued his agenda to tell the Army General about Peter's cowardice. Bruce was able to grab hold of McArthur's gun while he was not looking. Bruce argued with McArthur at gunpoint and shot him in the head. Bruce then staged the murder as a suicide by placing his gun on his hand. Bruce escaped using McArthur's army jeep.

Since Col. Cartwright had suspicions towards this death, he had his good friend Edwin Goodman investigate. Sure enough, it was murder due to the lack of gun powder residue, determining that McArthur was shot at long distance.

Despite Lt. Romani's false arrests, Edwin pinpointed Bruce as McArthur's killer. Edwin noticed that the army jeep's seat has not been adjusted lately, since Bruce was the same size as McArthur, he did not need to readjust it. Another evidence that pointed the blame to Bruce was the chewed cigarette that McArthur smoked — Col. Cartwright revealed that there were no smoking in the premises, only McArthur smoked in the plane hangar, placing Bruce in the crime scene. Due to his love for his brother, Bruce confessed in killing McArthur and was incarcerated by Lt. Romani.
