Descriptions

Legend

Rokkenjima

Kinzo's first child.

As the oldest of the four siblings, he leads the family conference. However, the other siblings think he is trying to get all of the inheritance for himself, and this further strains the tensions between them.

He is a real estate investor and has put a lot of money into the development of a resort. However, his results have been harshly criticized.

His corpse was found inside the Rose garden storehouse. The direct cause of death is unknown, but it seems the side of his head was smashed after his death.

This is the beginning of everything.

Turn

Rokkenjima

Kinzo's first child.

He is a real estate investor and has put a lot of money into the development of a resort. However, his results have been harshly criticized.

His corpse was found in the Chapel.
The direct cause of death is unknown, but it seems his stomach was cut open and his intestines pulled out after his death.
On top of that, sweets and candies were packed into his stomach.

Welcome, Maria.
Happy Halloween.

Banquet

Rokkenjima

Kinzo's first child.

He is a real estate investor and has put a lot of money into the development of a resort. However, his results have been harshly criticized.

His corpse was found in the rose garden arbor.
The cause of his death is assumed to be strangling with a rope-like object. A stake-shaped weapon was sticking out of his thigh.

If only there wasn't that stupid epitaph, I wouldn't have needed a stake. What a pain.

Alliance

Rokkenjima

Kinzo's first child.

He is a real estate investor and has put a lot of money into the development of a resort. However, his results have been harshly criticized.

His corpse was found in a guest room deep within the mansion.
About half of his head was destroyed. It’s probably reasonable to assume that he was murdered with a powerful gun or something similar.

A demon stake was buried into the damaged area.

No one can escape from the Chiester's golden arrows.

Theories

Not much to say about him yet, other than he Knows Kinzo is dead and wants to hide it because having to resolve

Occam's Razor would say he's the most likely murderer of Kinzo. But we really can't picture him doing that.

Kinzo was murdered

Kinzo died before the start of the game, and it's not by old age or illness, but he was attacked and killed.
We're not saying Krauss did it because he wouldn't have the balls.

Leads:

It was confirmed that Kinzo is already dead before the game even starts.
It can be supposed that this means his death happened the same way in every scenario, but this must mean that every red truth about one of his deaths applies to his one true death.
Therefore, looking at the 6 connected rooms case tells us that:
- Kinzo didn't die in a trap.
- Kinzo died instantly after being attacked, suggesting a violent death.
His body is consistently (but not always, more on this later) found burned, perhaps as an attempt to hide a different cause of death.

Krauss burns Kinzo in the boiler room

It was probably done under orders from Krauss, as an attempt to hide it from all the relatives.
He probably didn't think of the smell. He was never the brightest.

Leads:

Of the people most likely to know about Kinzo's death, he the only one to not feel much affection or respect for the old man.
Everyone else would have to obey him as either his employee or overly subservient wife.

Obstacles:

What reason was there to incinerate the body? Did he think nobody would notice the fingers?
The body was never found in turn and there is no mention of the smell, leading us to believe he wasn't burned in that instance. But why? Was the presence of X Beatrice a deterrent?
- No it wasn't, after all she is also there in Alliance.
