*by the victim

>>4442
......
The door was indeed locked from the inside.
However, the culprit was the one who locked it. Not the victim.

>>4444
Kinjo wins
He has told me the answer over IM. Since he may want to use it again and all.

Good game.

>>4446
Indeed, good game.

>>4404
the rooms where Battler and Rudolf died are in some way next to each other

In case that one is wrong,The culprit had an accomplice to help them with the murder

>>4406
Yellow boxes: Stairs
Blue box: Servants room
Red box: Rudolf's room

1st blue. As the map shows, the rooms are not near each other at all.

2nd blue. The culprit did not have any accomplice during this twilight.

Finals week, haven't had much time for posting...

When you say there was a "white horse" with it's head caught off, are you referring to an actual horse, or the chess piece more commonly referred to as the "knight"?

>>4404
>within 3 minutes of each other
It would take a person 6 or 7 minutes to die from oxygen deprivation, so it is likely that Battler was attacked first since a stab to the chest could easily result in instant death. This allows for as much as 10 minutes total between the beginning of Battler's hanging to his death (7 minutes) + the 3 minute gap until Rudolf is dead.

>>4408
I meant white horse figurine.

Hmmmmmm......

What about the rooms, how did the culprit do the closed rooms?

One of the windows were removed.

A hole was made in one of the windows

>>4398
None of the windows were removed.

There is not a hole in any of the windows.

>>4399
There is a hole in the door.

The door was removed in a way to keep the seal in place.

>>4400
My friend says I should give it you so, I declare this twilight solved.

The culprit made a tiny hole in the doorknob. Then they set up a trap to go off and scare Natsuhi and Krauss to make them want to leave the room. They waited for someone to try and grab the knob. When that happened the culprit stabbed the needle through the hole and into the victims hand. Natsuhi didn't understand what happened when Krauss died, so she grabbed the key and tried to leave through the door just as Krauss did, but the culprit stabbed her hand when she grasped the knob.

The culprit is Jessica. Her accomplices are Natsuhi and Genji.

First twilight. Illusion to illusion.
The vanishing victim locks the closed room shut.

(Jessica kills the five, then leaves the chapel. Natsuhi stays behind to lock the door, then hides somewhere.)

Second twilight. Illusion to illusion.
Imperfect seals create the illusion of two perfect closed rooms.

(Genji gives Natsuhi the key and a crowbar through the servants' room window. Natsuhi uses the crowbar to help Jessica escape from the study without breaking a seal, and then uses the crowbar to have Jessica enter the parlor without breaking that seal too. Jessica kills the two and leaves without breaking the seal.)

Fourth twilight. Illusion to illusion.
The second vanishing victim reveals the second accomplice.

Everything thing there would have been correct, even the part about Eva, however you are wrong. Jessica isn't the culprit.

The culprit is Krauss.
Natsuhi and Genji were his accomplices.
If you replaced Jessica with Krauss in those 'howdunits' it would be the answer.

There is no winner. This turned into an experiment using the DR style of game.
You guys without a doubt solved it, but simply because you only had two blues, you arrived at a 50/50 chance of success.

In any case this was a great amount of fun, and like I said, you guys did a great job even if you were against the odds.

Well then, there is that one last "mystery" I promised. The game originally was going to end differently, in which case this next trick would have worked well. In any case I imagine you'll get it right away.

When Erika was shot:

The chapel is inside Krauss's study.

>>4166
Close enough, Krauss's Study is inside the Chapel.
It's also the place Natsuhi hide during the first twilight.

Well that's that, well done.

>>4104
Derp. Let's try this again, using my head this time.

For the closed room trick, the culprit would just need to do the following: unlock the doors to both Room A and Room B, place the key to Room A inside Room B, exit Room B and lock it with the key to Room B. Then go to Room A, set the chain and lock the door, place the key to Room B inside, and hide inside somewhere that wasn't checked, such as the bathroom or under the bed.

>>4105
Correct. You solved this twilight
Although there is one small last part,
When Room B was locked Maria was dead.
Can you explain how Erika and Battler heard the scream of a dead girl?

>>4106
Ah, cool. That's the fastest I've ever solved any mystery on /seacats/.

It's simple, the scream they heard was a recording. I had actually reasoned that out at the beginning, which led me to the rest of my theory.

>>4107
Yes that's exactly it. It was the Tv in room B. Good work Kinjo.

I'll start to type up the next part right now and I'll make a new thread when It's done.
