Thank you.

N°2: It doesn't state supernatural things are prohibited: the commandement prevents the detective to use any supernatural means (so, red text)
N°3: There are no secret passage at all.
N°4: the commandement doesn't contradict being drunk: the effect of alcohol are known and they can cause a very powerful effect, especially for those who are not used in drinking it. Long scientific explanations are however subject to author discretion.
N°5: Not used at all (and since Erika is considered as "no influence to Beato's game", it doesn't contradict with Knox original commandement)
N°6: the wording prevents any assertions or lucky elements.
N°7: Battler is not the detective in Episode 5, which was proved thoroughly in the ura tea party
N°9: This rule is totally different from the original commandement. The ninth rule allow the observer to insist on their own interpretation.

I. The criminal must be someone mentioned in the early part of the story, but must not be anyone whose thoughts the reader has been allowed to follow
II. All supernatural or preternatural agencies are ruled out as a matter of course
III. No more than one secret room or passage is allowable. I would add that a secret passage should not be brought in at all unless the action takes place in the kind of house where such devices might be expected
IV. No hitherto undiscovered poisons may be used, nor any appliance which will need a long scientific explanation at the end
V. No Chinaman must figure into the story
VI. No accident must ever help the detective, nor must he ever have an unaccountable intuition which proves to be right
VII. The detective must not, himself, commit the crime
VIII. The detective must not light on any clues which are not instantly produced for the inspection of the reader
IX. The stupid friend of the detective, the Watson, must not conceal any thoughts which pass through his mind; his intelligence must be slightly, but only very slightly, below that of the average reader
X. Twin brothers, and doubles generally, must not appear unless we have been duly prepared for them

Not really. But I was too greedy to let it go.

>- The "river of sweetfish blahblahblah" most likely refers to Kinzo's family tree.
>- The village may be Maria.
>- The answer to the first part of the Epitaph will require an atlas for most people.
>- The answer has less than 6 letters/characters.
>- However, the answer can be re-read with 6 letters/characters. By doing so it reveals the Key.
>- The second part of the Epitaph most likely has to do with removing letters or characters from a series of 11 or 13 letters or characters.
>- There are guide signs to the gold on Rokkenjima.

I'm sorry I don't have the obligatory Mahjong rules copypasta, but there's this, I suppose.

I like this.

Red text - The "flexible" truth. The truth can be bent to mislead or guide people to a certain conclusion, although this leads into gaps of interpretations. Regardless, it is still a "truth".

Blue text - Hypothesis. Exploits the holes made in the red text due to its flexible nature and allows for a theory that must be directly countered by another truth. If left alone, this will be considered the "truth".

Gold text - "Absolute" truth. Leaves no room for guesswork and interpretations. Obviously less flexible than the red text, but it completely shuts down all blue text regarding the matter.
