So, let's start with my thoughts on the newspaper.
As everyone already understands, the Registrar was Tapman. Not surprising, one of the few possibilities. Killed by a Mafia member, the clue is a plush kitten. A sharp, sweet smell is a sign of a smoker's den, which Arandor conveniently omitted – well, what if they don't figure it out. Don't worry, your time will come. :) If anyone doubts that it was a Mafia member, ask yourself: "What was our esteemed protector doing in his room at night?" He wouldn't just sit there idly. And then he would have been killed somewhere in the corridors. The Senior Maid exposed a Mafia member, but I don't think we'll need that, the reason is clear later. Let's move on to the murder of Flandre.
Let's start with who killed her. The method of murder is strangulation. The problem is that three Mafia members could strangle someone. Jane and the Lovestruck Maid – a stocking, Sir Charles – simple strangulation with hands. There are two clues (a postcard with a view of Vienna and an "exotic matryoshka doll"). It's hard to say who the killer was. It could have been Sir Charles himself. And he was unlucky with those 50%. Or any of his girlfriends could have killed her. We need to figure this out. But the interesting thing is not this, but the indication of the role – a knife in dried blood. Flandre was our esteemed serial killer, whom I was so eager to eliminate. But thank you, Mafia – they did what I wanted to do during the day, at night. We are considering the clues and determining the role of the killer; this is currently the most important thing.
Next, it's clear that the Cook sent me a pie. Thank you.
And then there's a description of what the Senior Maid knows about the killer – but we also know. Tako, what made you think Flandre was the Cook? The Cook is in his room, not wandering around the corridors. No question, Flandre was a Mafia member.
The most interesting thing is the notes... I'll put off the Vagrant's note for now. It's not interesting at all. Nor is the Hermit's note. But the two Postmen and the Detective are interesting.
First, I'll immediately point out that the Detective's note contradicts the Postmen's notes. If the Detective is telling the truth, then the Postman is dead, and both notes are fake. If, however, one of the Postmen is telling the truth, then the Detective is lying, and so is the other Postman.
Let's look at the Detective's previous note:
"Announcement: The investigation showed that Arandor is a bad person. Zedzi was a doctor, and the additional clue to his murder is "Schwarzwald". Today I am investigating the Registrar. Signed: Detective."
Indeed, Arandor was investigated. He said he would check on Reg – and that actually happened. That's why this note was genuine. For some reason, no one really paid attention to this point in the newspaper, the Detective's investigation of Reg:
"The tension was relieved by the unexpected late appearance of Registr. He looked disheveled and puffy from sleep, and his reddened eyes were watery. He had slept too soundly to shed light on the events of the night, and it seemed to him that he had heard someone knocking on his door at night in his sleep."
In today's note, the Detective really does indicate Reg's status, and it is correct:
"Announcement: I am alive, your reasoning was incorrect. As a result of the investigation, the Registrar has a positive status. Plesen was the Postman, the additional clue to his murder is "Horned Monster". Today I am investigating Gil. Signed: Detective."
And my investigation also took place – an investigation that is not immediately noticeable in the newspaper, a game of bridge. In light of all this, I am 100% sure that Plesen was the Postman (this explains the papers in the fireplace – letters), and our Hastings is, fortunately, alive. A message to Hastings: kill Arandor tonight if we don't execute him during the day or find a better candidate. Trust me, you have reason to. It's time for us to compare scores.
Since Hastings is alive and not lying, and the Postman is dead, both notes were from the Mafia. The logical question is – why twice? Even if they had killed the Detective, his note would have arrived, and it was obvious that it would. I don't have a perfect version of this. Apparently, they are just trying to confuse us. Perhaps to frame Hos – but don't dwell on this idea, it's dangerous. The style of the first note is interesting. But I won't even consider them further, I don't see any point. Sorry, Mafia, you were outplayed in this.
The last note is the Senior Maid's note. Allegedly, I am the killer of Lisa. And again, you will be disappointed, Mafia... I was given a pie by the Cook. Note the rules – if I had left the room, I would not have received the pie. And finally, where do you see any indication that the Maid visited Lisa's room? It is very clearly described here, as is the fact that she knows the killer. Ar, aren't you ashamed? You desperately decided to frame me, it's ridiculous. For the lazy, I quote the rules describing the Cook's night action:
Night Action:
A special dish to maintain immunity – can send a pie with a healing filling to any inhabitant of the castle, giving 25% protection from attack (he does not leave the room himself, which will be reflected in the result of the location check). If the inhabitant of the room leaves at night, he will not receive the pie. If someone visited his room at that time, the visitor will eat the pie instead of the owner!
Well, yes, well, yes, try to prove that my conversation with Heaven did not mean that I received the pie. Heh.
And finally: we are considering the clues. All of them. And very carefully. The forces are equal – 5 against 5, but on our side is Lady Beatrice, which gives a bonus in the vote. We are focusing on finding Jane + the killer of Flandre, if he was not her. Keep in mind that we also have an additional advantage from Hastings. It's quite beautiful, and I think not too difficult.
Let's get to work!
Arandor
