With the adults?
"Aunt Eva? Uncle Rudolf, can you confirm this? And can all three of you promise only Uncle Krauss left the parlor before Genji came to get you?"

They both nod, and Rudolf speaks up. "None of the 'living' players left, at least."

Maria frowns. She had a pretty good guess, but was it right?
"This is going back a while," Maria says. "But Jessica and Lion were the two of you together the entire time during the first murder when the culprit got George? Like did you meet in the kitchen, or somewhere else?"

"We left the dining room together and went upstairs together after visiting the kitchen." Jessica replied. "Mom and dad weren't there, so we went up to their rooms."

"You were in the dining room?" Maria echoes. She didn't think she knew that. "Why? Was anyone else in the dining room besides you two back then?"

"Well, there were the servants and George. The servants were prepping the table and Lion and I decided to go find mom and dad since they're usually the first ones to the dining room. You and Willard would've been there too but you fell behind."

"I see...." Maria frowns.
She looks around the hall once more, but she doubts that the culprit would have left the gun behind.

Maria doesn't see anything out of order. "Are there further questions, Ms. Detective?" Clair inquires.

"Just two. First, the is culprit is allowed to have accomplices? And if they are, do I have to guess them too?" Maria asks.

"They can, however you are only after the killer's identity. If you pin it on an accomplice, I will notify you of this but you will not win from that alone."

Maria nods. "Alright then. I think that's all my questions then."

"Very well. Let us have our trial here so as to not interrupt the family meeting any further." With that, Clair asked the remaining players - Lion, Jessica, Maria, Rudolf, Natsuhi, but not Kinzo who was not present - to form a circle in the hallway. "Let the trial begin."

Maria nods. She takes a deep breath.
"There were only a few possible culprits left. When Mama and Aunt Kyrie were killed, Grandpa Kinzo was in the parlor with me, so I can be sure he isn't the culprit. No one saw Aunt Natsuhi in the kitchen for when George was killed, or Uncle Rudolf for that matter. While it's possible they could have somehow obtained a knife some other way, I'm trusting in that they both confirmed they didn't leave during this current murder."
"But one of the first people I tend to run into whenever a murder happens is either Lion or Jessica, or both. Between the two of you, I believe that Lion is the culprit!"

Lion's jaw drops. "Wh-what? Me?"
"That's one vote for Lion. One more and I can call this trial."

"Vote for yourself, eh? Very well, I'll take that as a confession." Clair takes Lion's armband. Indeed, Lion was the culprit. Jessica and Kinzo were accomplices. Congratulations, detective, you solved the case." Clair does a curtsey to Maria. Round end. Detective victory!"
Lion chuckles and pinches Willard's butt for forgetting the rules. "For a moment there, Maria, I thought I was being too subtle with it. Looks like I shouldn't have been the first to run into you, eh? Congratulations!"
Maria beams as she runs to tell the news to her mother, with Clair following close behind. "Uu~! Momma! Maria solved it!" "Oh? Congratulations, Maria! I knew you could do it!" Rosa hugs her daughter. "Did you have fun?" "Uu! Yes! But Maria still wants to be a witch!" Rosa sighs and turns to Clair. "Thank you for showing her a good time. Father will have your fee. The boat won't be back until tomorrow, so feel free to enjoy your time on Rokkenjima." Clair nods. "Ms. Detective, may I borrow the key? Kinzo did give it to Lion to use so I may as well return it while I'm there." Maria hands over the key and Clair is off.
After the conference that night, the cousins along with Clair return to the guest house for the night and the next day, the family leaves, however nobody remembers seeing Willard leave the island.
