Still thanks for taking your time. Though I must admit I am a little confused. Since when is it the witch’s job to pick out the correct blue truths from a batch of conflicting ideas? I… cannot possibly surrender when you don’t pick a theory and stay with it, you know.^^
Fine… I’ll take it as a challenge anyway. You want me to repeat an assurance? Of course: It is impossible for living corporeal beings to leave Ritsuka and Robin’s bedroom when its door is locked and the window bars are intact. The window bars stayed intact from the beginning of the story until Ritsuka’s body left the room.
Now to your blue truths…
While they were searching the first floor, Mashu was under constant supervision by Ronove. She couldn’t have sneaked away during any of this.
After Ritsuka and Robin went to bed the day before, Robin never left the room until the moment he died.
You, Sir, have a very sick mind! But just to be thorough: Ritsuka’s corpse is nowhere in the rose garden either! The rose garden means the grounds surrounding the mansion. And that includes the spot beneath the window of Ritsuka’s room.
Nah, Ritsuka had no reason to open the window.
I think I was pretty clear that there are only the rooms mentioned in the story on the first floor. Therefore if he had snuck anywhere else, he would have run into the groups searching those rooms.
Allow me to devastate all your theories:
Nitocris didn’t kill anyone!
(within the murder mystery that is, Shuten Douji doesn’t count)
You can still claim that Mashu killed Robin later on, but then you run into trouble explaining how the nightly murder was possible. As you asked me to repeat, There is no way to leave a room with a corporeal body once the door is locked and the chain is set.
Mashu has only a corporeal body and no way to change into spirit form.
Therefore it would be impossible for her to create the locked room!
