Hello and welcome to DCW! Hope you enjoy your stay here!

I have a theory on how Murobashi Etsuto was killed. It's not that good, but here goes... I'm suspecting the murderer is Andou Satoru. He and Murobashi were planning on doing something that required the conductor not to see them in action. Andou was in Murobashi's room when Noto and his bell caused the first disturbance. I'm not entirely sure why the bell was giving Noto problems to start, but I'm guessing Andou had set it up without telling Murobashi. Just as Andou and Murobashi had called a hidden cellphone in Idenami's room to cause their disturbance, they heard Noto complain with the conductor outside, so Murobashi poked his head out into the hallway to make sure their plan wasn't being disturbed. He told Andou, who was in his room, that everything was fine and that the conductor seemed to make a mistake. This is when Andou committed the murder. Andou had forced the disturbance with Noto and the conductor previously to distract Murobashi enough so he could pull out a silenced pistol. Because they were the only two in the room, it would be difficult for Andou to pull a pistol out of his jacket without Murobashi noticing and putting up a resistance. Now, Andou had the pistol out and was aiming it from behind his back. When Murobashi unexpectedly sat down to the left of Andou, Andou fired the gun. The blood stains on the wall of the room suggest the gun was at a relatively low height compared to Murobashi's head because the blood splattered at an upward angle, and if Andou was aiming from behind his back then that would be possible. As Murobashi was shot, he dropped the cellphone that called Idenami's room on the ground and accidentally disconnected the call. This was why the sound in Idenami's room seemed to stop just before the conductor got to her room. Hastily, to set up the distraction again, Andou called Idenami's room once more to start up the sound. Meanwhile, he placed the gun in Murobashi's right hand to make it seem like a suicide and, when he was sure the conductor was distracted with Idenami's complaints, exited the room with the cellphone in his pocket unnoticed and proceeded to set up the chain in a fashion Kyuu suggested to make it seem like a locked room murder. He quickly entered his room, hearing Conan and the gang approaching, re-exited his room just as the group reached Murobashi's room, and pretended to be concerned with Idenami's problem and that he was in his room the whole time. That's my not-so-great theory. If anyone has anything to add, feel free. I know I have a lot of holes in my deduction, but it's the best I can do with what we have.

Chapter 819 is now out! My thoughts on events right before Murobashi Etsuto is found dead: Noto Taisaku -- - seems frustrated as his bell doesn't seem to be working - difficult to see inside the room, but nothing looks suspicious - closes door same time as Etsuto - closes door before Idenami complains about sound Murobashi Etsuto -- - peeks out of room to see what the commotion is about - is talking to someone on his cellphone - holding phone in left hand - closes door same time as Taisaku - closes door before Idenami complains about sound Idenami Mari -- - complains about a sound (cellphone?) from inside her room - has tea kettle and cup set out on table - refuses to let conductor inside room Komino Natsue and Sumitomo Hiroka -- - both exit room just as conductor is distracted by Idenami's sound problem - head off in opposite direction unnoticed - difficult to see anything in room Andou Satoru -- - enters hallways while Idenami is still complaining - enters hallway asking what's the matter after Komino and Sumitomo seem to have left - closes door behind him after entering hallway - difficult to see anything in room My thoughts on actual discovery of body: - (pg. 15) [upper left] third link from left on chain seems thinner than rest of the links - (pg. 15) [bottom left] same link mentioned above is the one that breaks - teacup set out on table in front of Murobashi, but no kettle is in sight - teacup seems to be empty and handle is facing right, indicating Murobashi drank from his right hand - note, gun is also in right hand and that cellphone was used in left hand - cellphone used previously not visible - pistol grip seems to be accurate - a small, black object seems to be on seat opposite to Murobashi Overall thoughts: I'm terrible at deductions, so I have absolutely no idea who it could have been. I really doubt Noto and Idenami are the culprits, because they seemed truthfully frustrated at the broken bell and the sound respectively. I'm suspecting Komino and Sumitomo as well as Andou. The two ladies seemed to have cleared the hallways awfully fast, which brings me to suspect they might have entered another room in the hallway. Andou also closes the door to his room and walks toward the conductor and Idenami, which isn't something you'd do if you were just wondering what the commotion was. That's pretty much all I can get from this.

Hope you have fun here, Vermouth-chan! Enjoy your stay at DCW!

Oh dear, and it really seemed as if DCTP was going to stand the test of time. Ah well, at least the manga is still around and that's all that's really important to me. I only watch the anime for the openings and endings (which I'll be able to find floating around the internet as time goes on anyhow). I wonder how the movies and OVAs will hold out? Oh god, if all this waiting for M-16 so far is about to go to waste...
