"Where did the culprit shoot from?" Maria wonders outloud.
She heads towards the sound of Lion crying. There must be another clue there.

Maria finds Lion (poorly) acting crying into Willard's chest and the latter hands Clair his armband. Not far away is Krauss, who also hands his armband to Clair. "What are you doing...?" Lion picks their head up off Willard's chest. "I'm mourning over your corpse, now be quiet."

Maria frowns, then pats Lion on the head. "I'm sorry. If I found the culprit before this then they wouldn't have gotten your boyfriend." That was the right word, right? Maria was pretty sure that was what Jessica said.
She looks around to see where she ended up, and then begins to look for clues.

Maria looks around in the hallway of the second floor and finds a bullet on the floor outside Krauss' room and another sitting next to the staircase to the third floor. As she finds the second bullet, Maria bumps into Jessica just coming out of her room. "Oh, hey Maria. Guessing the next murder happened?"

"Uu-" Maria nods. "They got Uncle Hideyoshi, Uncle Krauss, and Mr. Willard." she says, thinking "So that leaves... Granpa Kinzo, Aunt Natsuhi, Aunt Eva, Uncle Rudolf, You, Me, and Lion." she counts off, frowning.
Standing where she found the bullet she peered back to where she'd seen the 'bodies', to see if she had a good line of sight to one of them.

Jessica frowns. "Well, I have faith in our detective to catch the killer before they get the rest of us! ...Oh, and I guess I would've heard the gunshots, eh?"
The best Maria can tell, there was no line of sight between where the two bullets and "bodies" had been found.

Maria begins to nod, then looks over at Clair. "She would have, right?" Maria asks.
She begins to frown. If there wasn't a line of sight, then that means the culprit had to move the bodies, wouldn't they?

Clair nods. "She would indeed have heard the shots. In fact, I think at least some of the family would have as well." She turns to Genji. "Could you gather the living players?"
Genji bows and heads downstairs.
Jessica, meanwhile, moves over to Lion to drag the latter to Maria. "Oh, Maria, should we notify grandfather?"

"I guess so," Maria says. "But I think Granpa Kinzo is getting bored with this, so I want to get everyone's stories first."
She looks between Jessica and Lion.
"First, Lion. When did you discover that the culprit had struck again?"

"I was heading up this way with Will because I was going to let him borrow some books, but I made him wait down here because mom and dad would freak out if they found out I'd let him into my bedroom." Lion lets out a chuckle. "I was looking for the specific ones when I came back down and Will said he'd been 'shot'. I guess I 'heard the gunshots' while up there and came 'running' back down. Will mentioned dad getting shot, so I guess it was two shots I would've heard."

"So Mr. Willard saw that the culprit got Uncle Krauss? And Uncle Krauss and Mr. Willard were both where I found all of you when I got up here, right? No one moved?" Maria asks.

"Well they moved after I showed up, but the bullets on the floor were left for you right where I found them."

Maria frowns. "So, the bodies would have been where I found the bullets then?"
They'd caused her so much trouble. They weren't taking this serious either. She turns to Jessica after she gets that last answer. "Alright, Jessica what were you doing up here?"

Lion shrugs. "I guess?"
"I came up here to change shirts from when Lion made me spill my drink on myself." She glares at Lion, who only chuckles. "It was around there the shots would've happened, I think? I would've come out sooner but I wasn't about to run around he house half-naked!"

"Did you hear Lion and Mr. Willard passing by?" Maria asks. "And what about Uncle Krauss? Did you see or hear him at all?"

"I didn't hear dad that well, I think he was going to grab something from his study or something, but I did hear Lion and Willard talking."

Maria nods, but frowns. "Jessica, it took you that long to change your skirt though? Maria knows it's tough when the zippers are in the back, but I thought you were supposed to be good with them when you get older." she says.
Next to ask... well, best would probably be Aunt Natsuhi, Maria guessed.

"Well I was still a bit upset so my hands were a bit shaky." Jessica laughs nervously and sighs. A moment later, Genji returns with the other living players in tow.

Maria finds Natsuhi in the group.
"Aunt Natsuhi, what were you and Uncle Krauss doing? When did he go off on his own?" Maria asks.

"W-well the grown-ups were talking finances again and Krauss went to get some records from his study. I stayed down in the parlor with the others, except Rosa of course, about some investments we could make."
