Hideyoshi's death in End really feels like a fake. In any case we all know it was a setup of some kind; unlike the previous episodes where the crimes were designed to verify a witch's existence, this time the crimes were designed to make Natsuhi look like the culprit.

I'm going to assume that with the exception of scenes where she talks to Kinzo or Beatrice, Natsuhi's viewpoint in End is reliable. In order for the murder to be real, somebody who had hidden in the room before Natsuhi, appeared, was noticed by Hideyoshi, yet unrecognized by him, overwhelmed him in a struggle, and somehow killed him by stabbing him in the back with a letter-opener. Then this person would have to have hid under the bed. Not to mention that Eva happened to show up right as the struggle was starting and was the first person to mess with the corpse. Only Eva and Nanjo even checked him; Erika certainly did not, and even said she had no interest in it. What a shitty detective! Erika was wrong about the murders. She probably even knew she's wrong, but we know she doesn't care whether she's right or wrong, just that people accept her as right. In fact, it's obvious that she was out to get Natsuhi from the beginning, since she went out of her way (to say the least!) to construct alibis for everyone but Natsuhi.

And Hideyoshi's death was never proclaimed in red at all. The deaths of the other 6 were, but that's only valid for 24:00 on the second day.

It's very plausible that the crimes were all fakes set up by a coalition among the adults (as well as others perhaps) to frame Natsuhi from the beginning; after all, they were already out to get her for hiding Kinzo's death. Perhaps it was all just a plot get her to confess he was dead. Erika never checks corpses because she knows they are fake.

Meanwhile vengeful-Yasu may have been actually killing the missing people. After all, Bern said that Krauss died shortly after Natsuhi heard from him on the phone.
