We were talking about<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the management of the town.<br>**[06:06] Lord Godard**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Charlotte tagged along.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;She was playing with her dolls.<br>**[06:11] Lord Godard**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;When 1:00 AM came around,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Claude and I left the study together<br>**[06:15] Lord Godard**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and parted ways in the entry hall.<br>**[06:19] Lord Godard**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I always go out hunting<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;on Mondays at that hour.<br>**[06:23] Lord Godard**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So I went to the storage room<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to get my rifle.<br>**[06:25] Lord Godard**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Nothing seemed amiss there at the time.<br>**[06:30] Tsugaru**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Which suggests the weapon was taken,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; and your wife attacked, after that.<br>**[06:35] Aya**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So it would seem.<br>**[06:40] Lord Godard**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Not a minute after I left the mansion,<br>**[06:42] Lord Godard**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Raoul said that he wanted to go look<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;at plants, so he tagged along.<br>**[06:48] Lord Godard**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;He was with me the whole time in the forest.<br>**[06:51] Lord Godard**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I fired my rifle three times, but I failed<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; to hit my target even once.<br>**[06:55] Claude**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What? You didn't hit anything then?<br>**[06:57] Aya**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What do you mean?<br>**[06:58] Claude**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Well, I heard the three gunshots<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;go off deep in the forest.<br>**[07:02] Aya**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Deep in the forest... How curious.<br>**[07:07] Aya**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;By the way, where did you go after<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;you parted ways with Lord Godard?<br>**[07:11] Claude**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I returned to my room and was by myself.<br>**[07:14] Claude**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I left Charlotte with Giselle.<br>**[07:17] Claude**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;She wouldn't shut up about<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;wanting to sing.<br>**[07:19] Aya**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Understood. Let's move on.<br>**[07:21] Aya**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Raoul, what were you doing during the thirty<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;minutes after you finished eating,<br>**[07:26] Aya**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;but before you went hunting?<br>**[07:27] Raoul**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Why are you asking me that?<br>**[07:30] Raoul**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You're questioning us because<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;you suspect us, is that it?<br>**[07:33] Lord Godard**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Ms. Rindo, don't tell me you <br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;think one of *us* killed Hannah.<br>**[07:37] Aya**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Yes, that is what I believe.<br>**[07:39] Lord Godard**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I-Impossible... That's just absurd.<br>**[07:42] Aya**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Well, Raoul. Would you care to enlighten me?<br>**[07:46] Aya**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If you can't tell me, I'll have<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to assume that there's quite a reason.<br>**[07:52] Raoul**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm the opposite of my brother.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I was in my room until one.<br>**[07:56] Raoul**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But I was with my father<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; when the murder happened,<br>**[08:00] Raoul**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;so I'm not the murderer.<br>**[08:01] Aya**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But there's a bit of a time gap between<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;when Lord Godard checked the storage room<br>**[08:06] Aya**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and when you exited the mansion.<br>**[08:10] Raoul**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Vampires may be fast, but we can't<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;commit a murder in a minute.<br>**[08:14] Aya**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;By the way, while you were in<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;your room, did you hear any noises?<br>**[08:18] Raoul**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No, not at all.<br>**[08:19] Aya**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I see.
