"I'm sure..." Mia mumbled, not buying Verrier's act. "So... if he escaped from the window, the obvious next question would be 'where did he go?' The storm was pretty bad by then, wasn't it?"
“I wouldn’t say it particularly matters.” Agnes nodded. “Unless we suggest something like...”
”Grandfather, after escaping the study, went on to murder Julia in the Wine Cellar. Where he ended up dying, and therefore was not hiding inside. We all didn’t see him.”

"The offer to interrogate me still stands," Verrier said politely. "I didn't help master Albrecht escape the study until after we found Julia and Harley's bodies. So long as the tape was placed before those murders, I do not think it's possible he was responsible for them at least."
"How did you know of his plan? Did he communicate it to you right then and there? Was there preparations before the gathering, even?" Agnes runs her fingers through her hair, a little stressed about messing up REALLY BAD earlier.
"It would be silly to assume the two of you have a psychic link, at least. Or perhaps you're the one who attacked him? Discussed your whole plan in the study together?"

Julia had instinctively clutched her stomach at the many mentions of her being eviscerated.
"Um... well, maybe I should tell you how I saw things from my perspective, then! It may not be very reliable as was previously mentioned but..." She closed her eyes and cleared her throat.
"It was quite late and I was having trouble sleeping so I decided to go organise the bottles in the cellar... then I heard the floor creak behind me b-but when I turned around there was nobody! When I turned back to the shelves I saw the Gideon apparition everyone else saw and, well... Oh my, I don't think this is very helpful..."
Julia sighed.

"It's really nothing all that complicated. When he first went missing, I really had no idea where he was. I found him in the study just like everyone else, and saw that he'd had a heart attack. I feared the worst, but as I examined him, he winked. He wanted me to play along, I assume, and tell you all that he was dead, so I did," Verrier explained.
"Of course, he had still suffered a heart attack. He would have died if I didn't get a chance to treat him. Some time later, a little after the first murders, I checked up on him. I found tape on the door, which meant that I couldn't get inside to treat him without making it clear to Ingrid that he was actually alive. I thought it might be worth the risk, but master Albrecht was very insistent about wanting to maintain the illusion that he'd died... We could talk through the door at least, with no-one listening in. I realised the only option would be to get him out of the room and somewhere safe. That's when I came up with the plan to use some fishing twine for the window lock, and some mattresses to cushion his fall as he escaped out of the window.
"I took master Albrecht to the shed by the pond, so I could give him the treatment he needed to stay alive. I later wanted to check on him, which is why I split off from the group after the other murders." That would explain the 'scene' where Gideon had apparently tried to drown him at the pond, then. Though if Gideon himself couldn't have pushed his head underwater, then...

Verrier blinked in surprise at this. "That's a weight off my shoulders! Truthfully I was worried he might have gone off the rails. I'm not even entirely sure what he was up to all this time."

Fritz glanced up, having forgotten that scene happened until just now.
"Oh yeah, speaking of which, what was the deal with that scene by the pond?" Fritz asked, "I remember Gideon saying you tricked someone into thinking they had a terminal illness. Is that true? Was that person Pops?"

Verrier started to look uncomfortable now. "Well... firstly that scene didn't really happen, at least like that. Whoever wrote that Ghost Fables book must have... I don't know, heard about my past, or read my thoughts and feelings, or... It's not really scientific, but I don't have any other explanation."
He took a deep breath before continuing. "Either way though, yes. It's true. I had hoped to destabilise Gideon, make it easier to reclaim the headship. I didn't expect him to react quite so... strongly, though. You see, I am one of the world's leading experts in a terminal illness known as 'Brandauer's'. As you can probably tell from the name, it's hereditary in this family. Gideon was always paranoid, it was a simple matter to feed into his paranoia and convince him he had the disease. I didn't even need to tell him he had it: it was enough to be truthful and explain his version was asymptomatic. He would self-destruct by himself, coming up with elaborate conspiracies that better fit the 'story' he viewed the world by, rather than believing I would ever tell him the full truth.
"At the time I told myself I was simply doing my job. Now, though... Well, I can never take it back. After he convinced himself he was going to die within the next few years, he suddenly took to travelling the world, as you're all aware. And then... he died. If it was suicide, well... I know that I'll only have myself to blame. Some 'doctor' I am, huh?"

"You know, Albrecht is the only reason I'm even a doctor now, even if I am a sham of one. He found me in a German orphanage, paid for my education, gave my life a purpose. 15 years old and it was the first time since my family died that I felt I had a place to belong. It is no exaggeration to say I owe everything I am to him: no-one else had been interested in adopting the strange little French boy. Without him I'd have soon been kicked out of the orphanage, left to do... I'm not sure, petty crime I imagine. I did always have a knack for conning people.
"The headship rightfully should have gone to master Albrecht. I did what I could to help set things right, for his sake. Did I do good, or did I do bad? I don't know. I can only live how I know to."

"Of course Doctor! the new generation are the only ones who believe that the Nazi high command were war criminals! The Nuremburg Trials were filled with Newborns! As for Heinrich, his sympathy towards flies runs deep as he helped to give them millions of human corpses to feed upon.
Perhaps being from the East, and having Jewish ancestry biases me, as well as of course being young. You are right. But at least I'm not a footstool who faked real medical research. "
Lynde then turned to Edelfäule, as though finished with the conversation with Verrier and asked "Are those good? May I have one?"

Surprisingly, Gideon seemed to relax. "Truthfully... I didn't know about the bunkers back when I confronted you and father. And I don't think I would've cared. In the end, I only wanted to be head. And I suppose I got my divine punishment for my greed."
His face seemed serious and melancholic, a stark contrast from the rest of this trial. "I always liked you, Uncle. Maybe that's why I was so angry you hurt me. But in the end, the only way we can escape the choices we've made is to die. And then it's the living who have to pay the price."

"I gotta admit, Raphy. I never thought you had it in you. Maybe you and your friend were even closer than we thought? Is it too late to retcon that in the story?" Gideon laughed, seeming to return to his usual self. "Still, I suppose we can't keep this dance going going forever. I acknowledge your theory."

"This new theory for Julia is... surprising though, to say the least. Was there not already a knife in her when Ingrid first opened the cellar door alongside the others? What could Julia have possibly thinking to set up a prank like that?"

"Julia did conspire to cover up the fact that a man had been living under the manor for years. Just a few days ago I might've considered her above this, but I guess she's a real part of this family after all."

"Anyhow... About my death... It all started when I went into the Mercedes-Benz and drove out of the garage. I thought that if I can get to the other side of the island, I could escape Gideon and he won't be able to catch me... It jus so happened that I looked in the rearview mirror, and saw Gideon, or rather my killer, sitting in the seat behind me. He said that he loved how much I break his toys when we were growing up. He thought that he'd take a page out of my book. He covered my mouth so I can't scream and then plunges a knife into my stomach." The mechanic explained with a pained look on his face, recalling his own death.
"And that's all I can remember of my death, so... I don't know how much useful it'll be to help you guys figure out my murder." He added on.

"You get 'em," Angelo mocked from the corner of the room, being entirely unhelpful.
"Anyways, if Raphael's theory is right, what does that mean? No one was hiding in the wine cellar, right? And no one stayed behind?"

"I'm glad you brought it up, Angelo. No, no one stayed behind... Except for you, who were always at the guesthouse." Ingrid elucidated. "Aside from that, 'Raphael' broke away from the group and disappeared shortly after we discovered Julia. And of course, Erik mysteriously went to the guesthouse before dying. Any of you three had ample opportunity to eviscerate Julia."

"Oh, dear," Angelo said, bringing a hand to his mouth. "I'm afraid it wasn't me, though. But I suppose the other two may have been able to do what you suggest."

"If all car doors and the trunk door are locked... And if the windows are impossible to close from outside... No way the killer left via the car hood because of the engine in there..." Harley thinks for a moment before he looks towards Gideon.
"Actually, I don't think we talked about what kind of car the Mercedes Benz was.... I've seen convertible cars and I've seen non-convertible cars in my workforce... It'd be great if you can clarify what kind of car your Mercedes Benz is, Gideon."

“Ah my mistake”, Gideon said as he had fallen asleep shortly after this was originally posted. “It’s not a convertible, and not different from any basic car aside from Gideon’s modification. It’s manual, not automatic.”

“Anyway, I guess we’ve still got more to figure out here. Let’s start with what Ingrid saw when she opened the wine cellar. The blood Ingrid saw on Julia was actually wine. Or maybe Julia deliberately faked her death before Ingrid entered the wine cellar. Another option is that the corpse Ingrid found in the wine cellar was made of some synthetic material. Last but not least, everyone in the wine cellar was on drugs.”

She clears herself in the usual manner and brushes her hair out of her face. "Anyway, soon the shame will destroy this whelp and I will be the one to force him to swallow it. Next theory. The momentum of the car stopping was enough to stab Harley on a knife which was in the car beforehand. The killer is considered to have killed Harley by placing the knife and cutting the brake line."
