My point was "How exactly would taping Maria's singing for E1T678 benefit the killer?"
For the prank in E7, it allows them to have Maria's voice on the phone at a time when Maria would be unavailable. (My mechanism was that the killer - records Maria's singing. - takes parlor phone off hook - locks parlor from outside. - goes to another room - starts tape player - calls study from that other room) But as far as I can tell, the only benefit to the killer is that it gives the killer more time to get away from the parlor.

Will is supposed to be a complete outsider. His speeches and that latest interview, if it's true, indicate that. Of course, he made himself an involved party when he rescued Lion from Bern, but until that point, he'd only been brought in because Bern was too lazy (or couldn't care enough) to uncover the "whydunnit." |

This is assuming the rifles aren't located inside Kinzo's study but instead in some place outside of mansion. Hence letter's challenge to meet in entrance hall which killer will most likely make back in time to compared to other places in mansion. |

I don't really get the argument behind the recording of Maria's singing. As others have said, it doesn't seem to accomplish anything in particular, and it's not like Maria wasnt singing a song by the parlor's phone reciever when their group arrived. To be honest, before the tape recording was suggested, I assumed that even Maria's phone call during the VIP room prank was just Maria literally sneaking out of bed at 2:00am to help Beatrice with some promised assistance.
Also, having just read through that scene again, I was wondering - has there been any consensus on the cause of the wildly different wounds everyone keeps receiving? Like, the "small hole in the head" versus "head half asploded" versus "stake in the forehead", which they just repeated would be rather difficult, physically? |

So killer could be carrying a gun and not firing it or not having a gun at all assuming all shots would have been heard by somebody not working with killer. Doesn't make too much sense to me if killer wasn't going to fire gun while carrying it aside from threatening people. And Eva might have whooped the killer's ass too if that's the case since she's badass with martial arts and all that. I'm confusing myself. |

Stakes in the head are just rammed into existing gunshot wounds, so they don't have to be forced through undamaged bone.

Afterwards, people spread out and panic, making them less able to notice gunshots and such. |

And why do people keep ignoring my suggestion that there wasn't a letter in the parlor at all? There's about as much (or, rather, as little) evidence that there was a letter as there is that the guest room chain was set at E1T2 or that the chapel was locked in E2T1. I also think the scene with the gold in E1 is fake; the padlocked room isn't mentioned anywhere else when it logically should be.
