[There's a long pause before he continues.]
I also think that if you're the type of person who'd frame a ten-year old girl who obviously admires you for your own murder, you wouldn't be behaving this suspiciously. You'd be acting like you were just as frantic to find who 'stole' your gun as the rest of us.

We made no secret of it and have picnicked frequently before... [Kaoru feels horrid over it now, realizing that such open chatter might have helped worsen this issue. as for Susan's question:]
We did not set a time to meet, so there was no appointment to miss. Miss May was with me in the kitchen as I cooked and later went ahead to clear a space so that we could lay the blanket down, while I stayed in the kitchen to finish things. I set out myself about ten or fifteen minutes after her, but realized that I had forgotten to make a dessert and memorial bouquets - it was part of the reason we had decided on using the chapel, to pay respects. So I returned to the manor to do so, and the bell chimed as I was working...

[13 people left. 4 were suspects, leaving 9 to examine. And of course, no one was going to let Spain examine anything. She had a feeling there would be more room examinations in the near future.]
I'll be back in a bit, then - unless someone else wants to come along.

[Poland moves on to rifle through all the clothing in Gundam's closet, checking all the pockets and shaking out all the hangers.]
I guess it's possible he did it. [Poland doesn't really like that idea much though, he sort of grew to like Gundam a little.] Even with May confessing, the evidence so far seems to be leaning towards him.

What's impossible is for a single thrown kunai to make three wounds, one of which is a slitting of the throat.
Improbable or 'too difficult to believe' isn't the same thing.
[Susan's voice has become carefully calm, though May will no doubt notice that the marks on her cheeks have decided to go all glowy.]

No...! No, he did not, I know he didn't... [ The amount of conviction with which Sonia says this is... a little bizarre. She quickly turns her attentions to looking through the drawers. ]
[in tidy scrawl:]
5AM: Woke Mr. Spain as per rules
5-5:45AM: Readied for breakfast
6AM: Breakfast in the ballroom
9-10AM: Cooking in the kitchen; Miss May attended
10:20AM: Making a dessert and picking the memorial bouquets
11:05AM: The bell chimed; I checked the upper floors
11:15AM: Mr. Tanaka returned; I left to check the outdoors

What did he say?
[She hadn't had the least idea it would become important, but she was glad she had remembered it, anyway.]
...That he couldn't control the whims of Maga-G or something along those lines. It sounded as if he was binding his arm because of something one of his hamsters did.

I am not behaving any differently than I always behave. If you believe otherwise, whatever you believe of me, you are not very observant.

Anyone else? No? No one else? Alright, then, I'll be heading off on my own.
[fine poland come along sigh]

[The pockets are mostly all full of various fruit, dried fruit, pieces of bread, and stuff like that. The drawers are as neat as always.]
I thought you might want to use it on Riot, perhaps.
The point is, any one of you had a motive to commit this crime. It's too much. I'm sure there was a queue to be the first to commit the murder.

Oh! [It took him way longer than he should be proud of to realize Rapture was the only one still alive that week with a name that started with R.]
... [Poland looks at the handkerchief first. And taking a note from Susan's book of excessively throughout investigating, gives it a sniff to see if he can figure out what's she been putting in it.]

So then what are you crying about?
If you know he didn't, help him.
[Poland checks Gundam's shoes, namely for pond mud. Ideally blood.]

May says she was at the chapel at 10, and the clock chimed at 11.
[Susan frowns, a heavier expression than her normal thoughtful frowns.]
To be perfectly frank, you shouldn't have allowed her to sit about in an remote area alone for an hour while you made cookies. She was on one of the bottom lists this week.

[Hey you invited him.]
You can like totally assist me while I solve the murder.

...In any case. I believe that's a fair working theory at this point - if we assume the poison or the drug used was one of the prizes, we should think about the other. The skeleton key wouldn't have been useful in this case, and the gonne ostensibly was already present in the house.
