1. Zubr.
A very confusing murder, because there are too many clues, and I think only one of them is valuable. Undoubtedly, Zubr was killed by the Mafia. Perhaps the editor was hinting at all its members? Many of us have rags and scales. Let's talk about the newcomers... Here, Areg dropped a valuable phrase:
1) clues don't necessarily point to the killer; they can indicate who the victim was.
Having given up on finding Zubr's killer, I started looking for the maniac.
2. Arandor.
Imagine – I found him right away. At least, I am personally 90% sure. I started from the fact that there should be only one clue. It seems that Arandor was a homeless person in his past life – his head was in a trash can, so the inscription on the wall (even if it's in blood) "you're old, but you're holding up well" can only confirm this. I don't see any other meaning in the inscription. There remains a colorless liquid. A very interesting thing. The maniac is sure that he is beyond suspicion. I am racking my brains over this test tube (I am thinking about vodka, but Maloy was not chosen), then I switch to the tournament and miss Siv's brilliant thought:
Don't vampires have transparent blood, pardon?
I reread Stan's posts and find small details:
1) I find a desire to execute someone, "what difference does it make?". Indeed.
2) first, accusing Drakoshka immediately in two murders (scales and a flask at different corpses), then me and again in two murders (rag and inscription) – i.e., there is really no difference who to kill. I would attribute such behavior only to the role of a maniac, which Stan bravely endures. But these are just details. It's all about the flask.
And the last touch – what I subconsciously expected: the maniac returned to the scene of the crime! :D
P.S. I named everyone – if something happens, they killed me :D
