My only problem with Kanon is that Beatrice always seems defensively deflective when he gets brought up as the culprit. Kind of like a "no, no, it wasn't him, it was ME! ME! Why can't you figure it out?" kind of thing, at least to me.

True, she might also be defensive because he's getting close to the answer, but for some reason it doesn't really seem like that (especially with her more recent pleading behavior).

Won't argue that him as the murderer is simplest for EP1, though, because Jessica's behavior is the only real thing I can think of that can be used to argue against that (and who knows, her theatrics may well be an act). Plus there's also the theory that Beatrice has nothing to do with the murders.
