This phrase is the only thing that raised questions for me after reading everything. I disagree with this point... it happened, and more than once. The Mafia can be smart, with a non-standard long-term strategy for the game... Therefore, I already have at least some doubts.
And also - you are relying on the postman's letter, am I right? Are you sure that this is not a Mafia setup? The postman promised to visit Hosu - and didn't. There are doubts about who wrote the letter. I am only sure about the Detective's note... His information is confirmed by the results of the night. The rest could very well be fabricated.
Otherwise, the information is actually interesting... I will think about it! Well done... I wish everyone would reason like that!
I don't deny that a block of their own could have been possible, but I consider it unlikely (especially in the very first night). And the address "most esteemed" is more suitable for older people (okay, okay, this is just my opinion, you can disagree), so if I had to choose between the economist and the maid as targets for the Mafia to block in the first night, my choice is obvious.
Yes, I am relying on the postman's letter, which fits perfectly into my version. Given the thoughtfulness of the metaphorical version of the Neutral Detective, I am inclined to believe that it is genuine. The letter version also aligns with the Detective's check. And regarding the fact that he didn't visit Hosu - you're wrong. The Neutral Detective's visit to the postman is not mentioned in the newspaper, that's a fact. We don't know where he went.
