“If he couldn’t leave through the door, there is still another perfectly reasonable means of egress,” Raphael said in a bored tone, waving a hand. “...Well, ‘perfectly reasonable’ within the realm of Gideon’s stories.

"And regarding your question, Doc... I thought that when Gideon says that the dining room key is in the servants' room and that someone would have been caught coming back from putting the dining room key... Maybe you do have a point... Except, we can't really prove which of the two keys was used to open the dining room... Was it the master key? Or was it the dining room key?"

"Doctor Verrier! Our very own Doctor Armstrong! But how deep does the comparison go I wonder? How much of this is just a cheap knock off of Dame Christie's works? " Lynde said with a mocking tone no one present had heard from him before, let alone directed at Gideon.

"Already intent to move on, are we?" Gideon jested. "It is valid, but not correct. A single person killed Julia. They were not cooperating with anyone."
"That's a pretty suspicious response," Fritz said, "Let's be more specific. Julia was not dead when the cellar door was opened by Ingrid and company."

“Why don’t you confirm that Julia did indeed die of evisceration?” Raphael suggested, a twinge of mockery in his voice. “It would be quite a shame if you were simply using the same trick twice in a row.”

He wasn't confident in that theory because he just suffered a freakin' heart attack, but he had to suggest something. He turned to Verrier, an eerie smile on his face.
"I hope your sake, he's truly alive. It would be a wonderful reunion."

“A chance? Didn’t Gideon confirm Albrecht was murdered? The body in the incinerator is almost certainly his,” Raphael remarked. “I thought we were ready to move on, but it seems not.” He gave a little shrug. “If the door was taped, it stands to reason that Albrecht left through the window. If he could be alive, he could be healthy enough to walk—why not? If Gideon is going to treat this as a two-bit detective novel, we should too. Hell, even if he really couldn’t walk, someone could have pulled Albrecht out through the window, as long as they didn’t enter the study themselves.”

Agnes shut her copy of Ghost Fables that apparently everyone has loudly enough for everyone to hear.
"That's no good, Father. We cannot trust words that are not in red. Julia, who didn't die by evisceration, after her encounter with her killer, was nearly murdered, and for whatever reason retreated into the wine cellar, locking it behind her. She then died, succumbing to her wounds. "
"Apologies, cousin." Agnes nodded at Raphael. "That was your thunder, but I would not sit idly by and let it go to waste.

"Anyhow, about my death... Since the car doors and trunk door are locked prior to my body being found... I suspects that my killer left the locked car via one of the car windows. Then they coiled a rope or something similar around the crank; the crank was used mainly to open or close the window. They then pulled on the rope, causing the crank to be continuedly turned in one direction, causing the window to close..."
"Now, I know you might be surprised that I didn't state my theory in blue, because there's a good chance that the rope would have gotten caught in the window and it would have left behind evidence that this trick was used; like a slight opening in the space between the window and the door frame. And if it was difficult to remove the rope due to it being caught in the window, the killer would have no choice but to leave behind the object in question... And the trick would have been discovered..." The mechanic explained.

"Master Albrecht tried some of those earlier. Gideon said, in red, that the window can't be closed from outside the car. He also said that there is no difference between the car and a normal locked room, meaning I don't think the car window is relevant at all, as a solution involving it wouldn't work for an ordinary door."

"Not at all," Raphael said kindly. "This is a team effort. Just like a certain famous mystery story, it matters not who strikes the killing blow.
"Now, Gideon," Raphael continued, turning towards the man. "You cannot have your cake and eat it too. Just as you cannot use Dr. Verrier's testimony as a defense after you have already relied on it being a lie, you cannot expect us to take red truths at face value after already being cheeky with them. For instance, you told us it's impossible to lock the window from the other side--that's the 'outside'. Yet the red that Ingrid had requested was: 'It's impossible to lock a window from outside the room.' Why the difference? For instance, if Albrecht left the study through the window, but then, as Miss..." Raphael trailed off, took a quick peek at his copy of Ghost Fables, and then continued, "Edelfäule previously theorized, looped a string around the window's lock and left the ends of those loops under the gap in the door, he (or anybody else) could have then re-locked the window by pulling on the string. You've denied locking the window from 'the other side' and the 'outside,' and this is neither. After all, they would be inside the house when locking the window, and on the same 'side' of the wall with the window as the lock is on--just separated by another wall. Of course, if you provide the red truth your sister actually requested, this theory falls apart."
