Knox's "Ten Commandments" (or "Decalogue") are as follows:
- The criminal must be mentioned in the early part of the story, but must not be anyone whose thoughts the reader has been allowed to know.
- All supernatural or preternatural agencies are ruled out as a matter of course.
- Not more than one secret room or passage is allowable.
- No hitherto undiscovered poisons may be used, nor any appliance which will need a long scientific explanation at the end.
- No Chinaman must figure in the story.
- No accident must ever help the detective, nor must he ever have an unaccountable intuition which proves to be right.
- The detective himself must not commit the crime.
- The detective is bound to declare any clues which he may discover.
- The stupid friend of the detective, the Watson, must not conceal from the reader any thoughts which pass through his mind: his intelligence must be slightly, but very slightly, below that of the average reader.
- Twin brothers, and doubles generally, must not appear unless we have been duly prepared for them.
That means my theory of Battler being the culprit for all the crimes is fail. But now, wad kind of reason umineko is gonna produce to justify that the culprits for the respective games, under wad extreme situation and condition, is thus able to commit such horrendous crime such as to kill the entire family along with the servants. I hope its nt something like hinamizawa syndrome, he cant use the same idea twice man. That would be failblog material.
gotta think of a new theory at the end of EP 05.
