Mafia 26. Lady Mallowen's Last Caprice

Damn, where is the whole city? This is fun...
First, about what I missed. I like Gil's version about Arandor. Lots of analysis, well-reasoned arguments - the drug addict is high and agitated. That's great.
Second, Gil's current post. He's also doing well, lots of analysis. But I'm still wondering - why would the Mafia write two notes to me from the postman? One says about evil, the other about magic - were they trying to present me as an alternative smoker? Either the Mafia overdid it, or they planned to use it later. The note from the maid is also dismissed. But why so obviously? The Mafia, it seems, hasn't decided on the roles yet.
Assuming that Hastings is alive, we can consider his clue. And I'll say right away that "Horned Monster" is associated with the devil - the apocalypse of Hermit. I suspected him yesterday, so I immediately thought of it. Earlier in the day, I figured out his clue "Monte Cristo" - "Monte Cristo" in Italian means "Mount of Christ," and the wiki for the query "apocalypse" refers to "The Revelation of John."

This book of Revelation describes the events that will take place before the Second Coming of Jesus Christ to earth.

I don't know - maybe the players have other candidates, but personally, I'm sure about Hermit being Mafia. And now he's throwing Arandor under the bus to avoid being implicated.
For tonight, regarding the clues for Amka's murder, I have a couple of ideas:
When I was browsing profiles and everything related to them, I remembered Vincent Cassel from Ling's avatar. He played the role of one of the Russian gangsters in the movie "Exporting Vice." The "Matryoshka" is one of the symbols of Russia that is famous in the West. There might be a connection here... But I haven't figured out how to link the postcard yet...
These are my thoughts for now.
