Genji seems to fully know what he's involved in, and so do Krauss and Natsuhi. Nanjo pretty much has to know too.

The only people who she seems to be referring to in this case are Gohda and Kumasawa, who probably never saw the corpses in Kinzo's room with their own eyes.

She does it "case by case". It's easier if they don't know there's actual murder, but that doesn't mean it's impossible if they do know...
...well personally I think it's too much to expect full, knowing cooperation in murder just by the bomb threat... especially from several different people. But, in this world written by Beatrice it seems to work every time just fine.

Agreed. Try to imagine translating it.

One thing I found really strange was Beatrice saying that Kumasawa's face-up pose was good, originally, and then asking her to go face-down later. It'd make more sense to me if she just said the face-up pose was no good the whole time, instead of appearing to randomly completely change her mind.

It almost feels like there are two different Piece-Beatrices, or like the part with her killing Kumasawa was added into the scene later. Could just be me not wanting to believe she really did it, though.
