The Revelation of the Culprit - Echoes of the Abyss

Pastor Ethan Grand stepped forward to the crowd, recounting the full story. The pastor had been taking in children at the church orphanage for a long time and had donated most of his income to improve the lives of the orphans.

But in the small town, powerful interest groups were eyeing the church's property and the orphanage—particularly real estate developer Harold King.

While the church received a massive donation, the orphanage's operational report was 'accidentally' falsified. The pastor's financial records were tampered with, creating a significant gap in the accounts. The developer secretly diverted part of the funds to land acquisitions.

Local police officer Thomas Grant and others, due to social pressure and media attention, took tough measures to force the pastor to confess.

The orphanage was forced to close, children were evicted, and the pastor suffered a mental breakdown, being secretly imprisoned by the town's authorities. Society ultimately branded him a 'sinner'. The priest who emerged from hell embarked on his quest for vengeance. Whether the outcome could be altered hinges entirely on your choices. Based on the clues you have, you suspect the murderer might be someone else. Who do you think is the real culprit?

Harold King sought to seize control of the church's surrounding land, employing media and police pressure to undermine the pastor's credibility.

Natalie Brown, a church volunteer and the pastor's most trusted confidante, accidentally burned his suicide note, leaving him unable to clear his name. University psychology lecturer Seth Warren, a trusted confidant of the pastor, testified in court to bolster the allegation of 'pastoral fund misappropriation' by fabricating evidence for his own career advancement.
