Not only must they find out who the killer is, but the participants now must solve the mystery of who the victim among them even is.

After a month of relative peace, the assembled Mius are shocked when one of their own is suddenly attacked. Another murder soon occurs in the Abandoned Lodge, but when they show up for the trial, an extra Miu joins them as well to solve their newest mystery.
