By the way, I read your post and thought – what if a detective protected Morninga? It’s quite possible, in principle.
I was going to write now why this is impossible, but I thought about it and realized that my testimony about the detective can be considered separately from the Lizard’s corpse.
In theory, the cop wouldn’t risk it on the first night and send an order. Therefore, our killer had a choice: either go kill, or send the Mafia to hell, because he’s playing against them.
A hired killer could have been targeting Elephant, if she is under guard – he doesn’t kill, but he doesn’t reveal himself either.
