Talk:Murder at the KOGETSUKAN/@comment-31901644-20180516211426

This is how I came to my conclusion.

Hawthorne, Adamska, Aaron and Ann were playing poker, Wu watched them play. Wu confirms Gudako was asleep early. Juliet was in her room with her sister. Assuming Juliet is not lying, her sister doesn't need to be questioned. Dorothy went to sleep after 10pm, saying Laurie went to sleep first. She didn't mention Laurie snuck out to play hide and seek with Cain afterwards but Cain and Holmes both confirmed an adult can testify to his alibi, which is Dorothy when she found them at 11:20pm. That leaves only Harriet that hasn't been questioned yet because in Gudako's perspective she thought 'Euryale' was Juliet's sister and needn't to be questioned. Gudako questioned Eva, thinking she was the mother, which is actually Juliet's sister. Eva found it weird to ask her about her mother. And from Eva's testimony alone is not enough to prove her mother was really asleep at 10 or 11pm.

Further explaining, where would Dorothy acquire the needle and poison? Hawthorne is the Violet family's family doctor. Surely Harriet would know what kind of medication Hawthorne has in his possession and where to get it. No need to know what poison it is, just that Harriet was able to acquire it since according to Knox' 10 commandments no undiscovered poison may be used. Harriet has the least solid alibi as well. Gudako and Harriet had a small talk just after dinner where she said 'Good Night' to Gudako after their talk. Now, I don't think dinner would be that late in the evening. Eva wasn't sure but if she did see her mother retire around 10pm or 11pm, what did she do then between after dinnertime and 10pm?

Which leaves me to the conclusion that Harriet is the culprit.

If there are any inconsistencies or things I've missed to mention, please point it out and if possible, your arguments as well.
