Well, it's possible that Larry lit the candle when he arrived at the church, and then the killer intercepted him inside the church per my theory, and then took the candle out of the cage when he got to the room at the top. I think it would be fast enough so that no wax would get on the cage...

Also just stating my/Evolina's theory about using a cloth to cover the cage to make it look like someone is in the room, so I don't forget.

Seeing Hazama was just plain awesome.

I got to the first CE, but I just wanted to see how things would be. And things are awesome!
Heh, enough spoiling for me. Time to start from the investigation!

I'm starting with the information about the time:
• It's 10 minutes from town to the church using the car
• At 11:48 PM Mia and Phoenix see Larry walking to the church
• At 11:50 PM the candle goes on and Mia and Phoenix see Larrys silhouette
• Larry was supposed to be in the church at 12 AM
• At 12:52 AM Mia and Phoenix see the candle going out
• The clock in Edgey's and Larry's house is 10 minutes ahead, Maria set it because Edgey told her to do so
• Larry left the house at 11:40 PM
• Edgey left the house shortly before 11 PM
• Larry was supposed to stay in the church until 1 AM
• When Mia and Phoenix found Larry, his watch showed the right time
• Larry's time of death is between 11 PM and 1 AM

• Larry left the house at 11:40 PM
• It's 10 minutes from town to the church using the car
• At 11:48 PM Mia and Phoenix see Larry walking to the church
-> It's very likely that the person Maria saw is the same as Phoenix and Mia saw (likely Larry)

• Larry was supposed to be in the church at 12 AM
• At 11:50 PM the candle goes on and Mia and Phoenix see Larrys silhouette
-> Larry arrived 10 minutes too early

• Larry arrived 10 minutes too early
• The clock in Edgey's and Larry's house is 10 minutes ahead, Maria set it because Edgey told her to do so
-> Larry propably arrived too early because the clock in his house was 10 min ahead

• Larry propably arrived too early because the clock in his house was 10 min ahead
• At 12:52 AM Mia and Phoenix see the candle going out
• Larry was supposed to stay in the church until 1 AM
-> Larry propably blew out the candle 10 min too early because the clock was 10 min ahead

• Larry propably blew out the candle 10 min too early because the clock was 10 min ahead
• When Mia and Phoenix found Larry, his watch showed the right time
-> Two possible deductions:
1. The person in the church was not Larry and thought that the time in Larry's house was right
2. Larry's watch was also 10 min ahead at 12:52 AM and someone reset it before Mia and Phoenix found Larry

• The person in the church was not Larry and thought that the time in Larry's house was right
• The clock in Edgey's and Larry's house is 10 minutes ahead, Maria set it because Edgey told her to do so
-> The person in the church was likely neither Edgey nor Maria, because they knew of the reset clock (so it was propably Luna or Luke)

I'm not sure which of the two theories is the right one (maybe they're both wrong), but maybe I'll find out more with more logic later.

Well.... Why do I think the killer is Luke Atmey? A few reasons.
a) Luke is one of the three people that knew of the existence of the "Test".
b) Luke could have easily known about the love notes sent to Luna.
c) Luke also has the means and the opportunity to kill Larry.
d) Luke also has motive: If he kills Larry, frames it on Luna, then he can take over Cool COmpany.

And that's why I think it was Luke. >.<

Wild animal(s) with wings that can fly and is easily startled. I am just going to claim that it was bats due to that being the most obvious animal with those characteristics.

They could easily have exited the tower by the window and provides an explanation for why Larry fell out of the window.

If the killer was Luna/Luke, how did they know that Larry's clock was 10 minutes off, anyway?

Also, how do you know that Edgey told Maria to change the time of the clock? (Did I miss something? ^^')

It's possible that bats (or birds) could open the tower window, but I'm not sure they'd know to fly at it... Also I'm not sure that they would cause Larry to fall out, and I think the animals would have left some sort of remainder, in the cage or in the room or on the window.

I think the cage is our version of the chair in this case... Only this time it's a red herring. >.<

I really think that Edgeworth is just a giant red herring.
