The problem with accomplices is that the only opportunity to recruit them is before the family conference, and that means assuming that the conference will last until 6am or so. How exactly do you control this?

About this, what do you think about the possibility that in Rokkennima Prime everyone but Battler was already informed about the fake murder plan before 4 October?
This possibility would explain two major problems:
-The first is the absence of Ange both in reality and in the fictional stories. If the family was informed and ready to perform Yasu's crazy plan it becomes natural to think they'd want to leave Ange outside. Not only because she was too young and that whole gruesome scenario wasn't exactly the thing you'd want her to witness if you are a responsible parent, but also because she probably wouldn't be able to play her part reliably. Maria is a different case. She had already a taste for morbid things and she could perform well her part.
Naturally this would also explain how Beatrice knew she wouldn't be there and therefore why she didn't include her in her stories.
-The second problem is Kanon. As we all agree the chances that Shannon actually worked as two different servants for 3 years is quite hard to believe. In addition the fact that apparently the only proof of his existence in the outside world was that cultural festival kinda proves that there was no Kanon servant known by other fukuin servants.
However Kanon must have been an important piece in Beatrice's plan, and Kanon had to be a servant that worked in Rokkenjima for three years and had to be close to Kinzo and so on.
The only way she could have created this illusion for Battler to witness was by involving all the others before the family meeting started.
There is however a problem I see with this interpretation. For this to work we need to assume that Yasu's true identity was already exposed along with the documents that proved she inherited the headship. That however would mean the death of Kinzo was also exposed. Would they really all go along with a plan that left their father and grandfather without a proper burial? And would they really condone that easily Natsuhi's and Krauss' crimes?
Of course we can assume that Yasu promised a lot of money in return, but that was a bit extreme and which guarantees were they given?
