Oh right I forgot about that. I guess that's a good way to explain that, but are sure there's nothing else that could explain it besides a conspiracy to fake his death? I just think he'd have to be threatened or bribed pretty badly to agree to something like that. if that's why then Rudolf is being pretty selfish.

Not likely unless their situation was solved.

You keep saying that, but have you actually compared it to the survival rates in other mystery novels to make sure? I get the impression that the detective and the Doctor are needed for a majority of the story in a lot of mystery novels for narrative convenience. Mostly so we have people to discover and inspect the crime scenes. So it'd be natural for them not to be the first few people that are murdered.
