Detective stories. Love it.

As a long-time fan of murder mysteries, and having tried to solve the secret before the book could reveal it (with having made 3 A4 papers worth of detective's notes) let me embark on this journey to figure out what's going on!

SO! Here's what we know:
1. It's an insider job
2. That's it. Literally. That's it.

Some of my conclusions:
1. The younger son is sus as heck, for real for real
2. The culprit is definitely NOT Lord Godard nor the Butler
3. The sword was used in the murder somehow/plays an important role in figuring out how the murder was committed
4. The actual act was committed by a vampire
5. Lord Godard is being sus too but likely doesn't know anything

Let's talk about the camera shots. There are multiple weird shots that seemingly serve no purpose scattered throughout the episode. A lot of them are regarding the younger son, but there was also a shot focused on the swords when Lord Godard talked about how silver wounds take a long time to heal if inflicted on a vampire. No idea where they're going with that, but it probably means something. The shots centered around Raoul are:

• When him and his father are hunting, there's a shot of him backing away from the deer's antlers that on my first watch closely resembled being impaled.
  
• Throughout the entire episode, he has his hands in his pockets, and his hands are not shown when they're out. However, there's a single shot that shows him putting his right hand in his pocket when Aya first approaches him. She also glances to her left - at the sons - before asking about the body.
  

Now, the thing I find interesting about his hand is that... it's clean. There's no wound. But we know for sure that there is a wound on the killer's hand, and that they used their right hand when going stab stab. Why is that? Because of the blood marks on Madame Hannah's robes. They questioned the fact that there was more blood on her left side than her right, and there's a simple explanation for that: the killer is a vampire, and bled from their right hand while stabbing Madame Hannah. I can't think of any other reason why there would be a mismatch in the amount of blood when she had been peacefully sleeping, with no sign of struggle, since the show decided to point out this detail in particular.But what does this mean for Raoul? Does this mean he didn't commit the murder? Maybe. He's still very very sus and I don't know what to think of that, but what we know for certain is that Butler Alfred and Lord Godard had nothing to do with it; that's because of the way the lock had been brute forced. Another sign that the killer is a vampire, as no one else would have the power to break the metal, unless they used some kind of tool. The swords are way too big for that. The Butler and the Lord both possess keys to the storage, so there'd be no reason to simply not open them with the key (unless this was staged? but even so)

Another piece of evidence is the book that was open on Madame Hannah's table. I ran the text through a google translator and did some digging, and it seems to be a French poem titled "Mort, j'appelle de ta rigueur" or "Death, I appeal to your harshness"

The poem translated:
Death, I appeal to your harshness,
Who stole from me my delightful mistress,
And yet were not sated
Until you see my languishing:

Since then I've had neither strength nor force;
But how would it harm you - if she were alive,
Death?

There once were two who shared a heart;
If that heart is dead, that power is deflected,
If so, I must live without love
Like those statues, in my heart
Death!

Idk, just seems like another sign that the Lord is being sincere and is not the culprit. Madam Hannah was said to have been a human previously, so it could be like a past lover who came to get revenge or something. Would explain why Hannah didn't sense them. They also kept showing the ring around her finger, twice at that. It's a possibility.

Funnily enough, Butler Alfred is the only one wearing gloves consistently throughout the episode, so it could be a wild possibility that he was Madame Hannah's previous lover, somehow turned vampire, and killer her to get revenge? lol. That's a bit too much I think.

The bottle of holy water was empty at the time of the murder, since all the dust it collected was on the inside. Not sure why it was left there, other than for staging a fake crime scene. Or maybe Lord Godard and Madame Hannah planned this together so that they could achieve peace? idk


Well, I'm tired, so that's the end of this little analysis. I'm sure I'll find out next week~
