10 novels total? Ah, I was close. I think Ryu has read JDC. I refuse to believe that someone trying to write a series about "magical impossible murders" didn't read JDC. That would be the same as attempting to pass a history exam without attending any lectures or reading your textbook.
He probably didn't reference him because he was aware of how much JDC overshadows him when it comes down to talent. Not to throw the guy to the sharks or anything, but Umineko and its magical murders come off as him trying too hard to be JDC. They both have the same style(supernatural murders) but JDC was leagues ahead of Ryu in that regard.
Kanon's death in episode 2 was also ''impossible'' unless you went with "a secret passage is hidden somewhere!"
Not counting that, I think only Kinzo's disappearances count.
