The Logic Chains are another puzzle in this subquest that answers four questions. Get all four answers correct to proceed.

1st	• Gardes Investigation Report • The Magic Trick • The Young Girl's Clothes • The Deceased's Identity
2nd	• Lyney's Statement • Strange Sound During the Magic Show • Broken Flower Vase* • The Deceased's Identity
3rd	• The Deceased's Identity • Dropped Hook Rope • "Water from the Primordial Sea" • Audience-Side Magic Box Structure
