Also it is 8:10PM

"It's that smell again. Should we do something about it?"

>>7214
"I don't think we should, however I'm worried that it's back." says Rosa.
"Well we shouldn't leave the room, but just checking the hallway won't hurt," says Rudolf who slowly walks over to the door before suddenly stopping.

"Hey does anyone else hear that?" He says.

You take a moment to listen as everyone goes silent. Indeed Rudolf was right, you can hear something faint. Kind of like something is cracking repeatedly. That doesn't sound like the best way to explain it though.

You see Rudolf decide to open the door anyway. As he does the door swings open and at the same time Rudolf jumps back yelling in pain...

>>7215
I rush over to the door and check on Rudolf and the outside of the door.

>>7154
No sexual toy or any object that give pleasure were used for murder
Nothing lewd happened on the room

>>7155
Poison was involved?

>>7156
poison isnt involved in the murder since there are clearly hole in all thier body
[[Insects aren't involved btw]] hehe.

>>7157
Karthus pressed R.

Even if nobody could have obtained the guns from the study at that time, if Krauss or Kumasawa is the culprit, since they regularly visit Kinzo, they could have secretly taken one of the guns at some times prior to the murder. Alternatively, Genji is only an accomplice, and someone asked him to get the gun for them - in that case, the culprit could be anyone without an alibi. It's also possible that the culprit had a gun prepared from elsewhere, and did not need one of Kinzo's Winchesters.

But, am I missing something, or is the crime basically solved now? Wasn't our purpose simply to prove that the crime is possible for humans, which has been done? Or do we have to show who the culprit is as well?

Well, at this point, it's either Krauss, Genji, Eva, or Hideyoshi.

I suppose you're right. We'll move on in a day or two then (give me some time to finalize the writings). You've proven capability by human hands, but you have yet to reach an agreeable truth.

While we're waiting for the next round, I'll add this to the Genji theory. There is one time when he could safely commit the crime in spite of being on duty: immediately after he served drinks to the arguing adults. At that time he could be relatively confident that no more calls would come in from them for a while, and since Gohda and Kumasawa were busy with dinner preparations, there was little chance of them coming to the servant's room and finding him missing.

I'll go ahead and ask these too, but if they'll disrupt your preparations then I can just sit on them until the next round.

> How far is Krauss's study from Jessica's room?
> Does Natsuhi remember hearing anything that could have been a gunshot while she was there?
> Natsuhi asks Eva and Hideyoshi exactly where they went outside during the break, whether they saw anyone else, and whether they heard anything that could have been a gunshot.

Dead week this week and finals the week after.

I will continue working on this gameboard after that...

"Booooooring. Now, let's try Krauss's room."

Erika went to Krauss's room and knocked on the door.

"Krauss-san, are you in there?"

No one answers in Krauss's Room too.

"Finally, those stupid humans left. I hate so much those humans...", the witch in golden hair and western clothes spoke, reappearing in Kinzo's Room.

"Onee-sama... do you really think is right to us kill these humans according to the epitaph?", another witch arrives at Kinzo's. She is identical to the woman in the portrait of his room, but different from the woman in the parlor's portrait.

"WHO CARES? We need to sacrifice them to be the former Beatrice again. Being only half of me is annoying."

A thunder claps and a lightning strokes the ground. A voice echoes within the room.

"If this is annoying to you, why you just don't give up and die?"

Then, the witch from parlor's portrait arives.

Message too long. Click here to view the full text.

"....i've changed my mind. I think i will now reboot my strategy....*sigh* i actd like a fool. Now....let's try the easy path, and then, the hard path"

Erika went to Kinzo's study, and knocked on the door gently.

"Kinzo-san? My pardons, but may i speak with you for just a second? I promise on my honor that i'll be quick."

You knock the door, but no one answers again. Erika can hear Belial mocking her.

"<Good job>! The humans goes away, the witches goes away and you still try to see if someone is inside. Perhaps the furniture inside can unlock the door and answer 'you can enter, Detective'." *cackle*

"Do you want a tip? What about Guest House, since you suspect Maria and/or Ange? You can take a look on Servant's Room, too."

"Remember, you have NO allies here anymore - you waste all your new friendships to blame a child without proofs. So, you'll need to do something extremely cleaver or try to compensate the show in the dinner in a social way."

"To get worse, since you said that would happen murders here, you will be a suspect."

"Do not forget, Erika. Liking 'whydunnit' or not, you will need people's cooperation, since you don't have Detective's Authority."

>>7102
Welp. Looks like Ozaki didn't need my help here.
Seeing as he did pretty much all the work, I'll let him decide how we move on.

>>7104
Ya, sorry about that. That's part of the reason why I feel it would be unfair to just end it right here and curse you because of Ozaki's actions.

>>7104
To be honest, I was going to let you decided since I took all the fun.

Don't know about you, but I like the idea of a third route, since two routes going at the same time was interesting.

Very well, it's decided.
Rudolf, would you be so kind as to weave us another mystery?
