Generally yes. However the red truths were said as such:
  • At 24:00 in the guesthouse, George, Jessica, and Maria were alive and in the second floor cousins' room. Nanjo, Gohda, and Kumasawa were on the first floor.
  • .........To go even further, at 24:00, Natsuhi, Krauss, and Genji were in a corridor on the second floor of the mansion. All the remaining people were at the family conference in the dining hall. Of course, at that point in time, no murder had occurred. Genji was also alive.

Basically Lambda spoke twice and the second time she spoke she gave the red truth confirming Natsuhi, Krauss and Genji's position and the one confirming the people in the dining hall. Sure, red truth can trick people but here it really seem to really imply Natsuhi & Co being in the corridor at the same time in which the others were in the dining room.
Also the narrative not only says it's midnight but said the large clock (in the dining room) rang out 24:00 as if to imply that it's really exactly 24:00 not more or less 24:00.

So, while I agree it's possible that the 24:00 used in regard to the cousins means more or less around 24:00, everything in Ep 5 seems to imply that while Natsuhi and Co were in the corridor the others were in the dining room and everything was taking place at 24:00.

And anyway Natsuhi was informed about the call while she was in the corridor with Krauss. He couldn't be watching the others making the call and, at the same time, being in the corridor with Natsuhi.

As I said at best he returned in the dining room while the call was taking place but he couldn't be there when it started.
