If the phone lines can be disconnected to serve the appearence of being out, can't they be reconnected?
They can be, both as the whole PBX and on a socket by socket basis. But since you brought up Ep1 again, here's an extra puzzle:

Maria says that Genji locked the door from inside the room. But Genji has just relinquished his keyring to Natsuhi at this point so he could not do that -- instead Kumasawa would have to, or he would need to have Kumasawa's keys.

If Genji is the one disabling the PBX, he also probably has to be the one fixing it before he dies in the parlor, and it's somewhere aound the servant room, which defaults to being locked - so he can't get in there without Kumasawa's keys either.

So, does Maria lie, or is Kumasawa directly supporting Genji in this particular matter?
