It's definitely some of the more nasty murder methods employed by characters.

From what I've read, Gumillia's spent most of her time doing police work when not running off to watch Rin Chan concerts. I assume Hanne and Heide have been doing their individual investigations into the vessels should a lead ever pop up (It just so happens one did for Hanne and, like she told Ein, she didn't want to call upon Heide until needed).

As far as the novel itself is concerned, it seems her plotline's been mainly behind the scenes in the early chapters (is she "N A"?), and she's just being introduced here to catch her up to speed to Hanne's events (while moving forward the plot) til Shaw dies and the both of them head into Act 3.
