Of course there is the possibility of different culprits for each of the murders in EP3.
The 1st twilight was probably Yasu, which explains Genji's gentle death in which he allows himself to be murdered and the general depiction of events (e.g. Virgilia/Kumasawa trying to talk Beatrice/Yasu out of it). Yasu probably faked his death.
2nd twilight was possibly really as depicted, that Yasu killed Maria to spare her any cruelties and Rosa was an accident.
For 4th to 6th twilight we would have to assume that Hideyoshi shot Kyrie and Rudolph and was then shot into the back by Kyrie who survived the stomach wound long enough to do so.
7th and 8th twilight could have been Nanjô who drugged and killed Natsuhi and Krauss because he feared for his own life or suspected them for whatever reason.
George could have been Nanjô who snuck after them and killed him because he thought he was the culprit.
And Nanjô was a victim of Yasu for sure.
The problem I have with Eva out of the picture is:
2nd twilight: What was Yasu protecting Maria from by killing her gently? It could be explained that she learned by what Rosa said that Eva solved the epitaph and it really was still just an accident...her murder roulette was already in motion since it was the 5th already. Though that leaves the question where Eva got the ring and the location of the hidden tunnel from.
4th to 6th twilight: Why would Hideyoshi attack Rudolph and Kyrie in such a reckless manner that would allow him to be shot from behind. And more importantly, what was the scene about him being angry with Eva(-Beatrice) about then?
7th and 8th twilight: How did he get them into the garden and why would he have reason to kill them?
George is not even that unreasonable, apart from the problem how he would have returned in time and (in case Eva did murder Krauss and Natsuhi) how did he get back in unnoticed.
