The magic circle and letter were left by an accomplice outside the room, and the killer slipped out of his or her hiding place during or after everyone had found the bodies.
There's no reason for the closed room to be an obstacle. We know that:
Furthermore, the murder was carried out with both the victim and the perpetrator in the same room!
No method exists for the perpetrator to commit murder from outside the room!
So, what's the problem? Perpetrator enters room, kills them, creates the closed room with a chain, and remains there until the room is no longer closed. The magic circle is a red herring; the killer doesn't have to be the one to have painted it. An accomplice, or a completely unrelated person could have done it.

There are two ways of entry into that room: The killer gained Eva's trust and went inside after Eva unlocked the door, or The killer anticipated Eva and Hideyoshi's move and hid in the room. Anyways we're past that point. Now all we're left with is exit. The door was locked on Natsuhi's orders, of course you can say one of the servants locked it and just faked locking the door. There is two windows of exit Before or After, to say during the time everyone discovered it is nigh impossible. No matter how cunning a person is to show up in the middle of something like nothing is not very smart. The killer and the painter had to be related as well. Your right there could be an accomplice it's possible and I think this happened with a culprit.
Before Scenario
The accomplice gave the all clear, and the killer left the room after faking the chain. The accomplice and the Killer proceeded to paint the door and the killer left leaving the accomplice to go back into the group.
This one can explain how it was done so fast.
After Scenario
The killer continued to hide in the room even after the discovery by the main group, the accomplice was the one who painted the doorway, the chain was never tampered with.
The chain was never touched in this scenario why? Because there would be no point. The killer had all the time in the world at this point. All the killer had to do was wait.
Ijriims: The killer planted the letter and there was the problem of the magic drawing at this point checking for clues although it would be the most absolute critical point in the game, Battler and the rest were emotional.....too emotional to reason. The killer may have banked in on this opportunity to do so. Glue can leave a trace but only if it is done sloppily like in shop class or something. The killer is methodical we know that. To leave residue wouldn't be the smartest thing to do.
