Okay, just to clarify things, because this has come up over and over again.
Knox's 5th does not mean "a foreign-ish person cannot be the culprit". It addresses a specific trend in Western detective novels at the time and therefore has no relevance to Umineko. Ryuukishi could have used it if he wanted to, but he would be forced to change it from it's original intended meaning.
