Finishing up the scene:


 * Main gate and windows had been locked. According to Dr. Felix's testimony, he had a spare key and so unlocked it then found the Marquis' body inside.


 * Hanne asks about Caspar's wife, wondering how she didn't notice the Marquis' death while in the house.


 * Ein states that she seemed to have been forbidden from entering his room when his mistresses came by. According to her Father, they had entered the room together and learned of the Marquis' death.


 * Ein also adds they seemed to have heard suspicious sounds in the middle of the night.


 * Hanne is curious about that "middle of the night" part and how it's possible she never knew this before or while sleeping together.


 * Ein stammers and then explains Margarita's unique never sleeping condition. Hanne's completely shocked and Ein clarifies she's never slept once since birth. In the name of security, one of his colleagues stayed behind and said that she never slept once.


 * Hanne found that rather disconcerting in many ways then asks if anyone else was in the house; Ein brings up her previous statement of there being no servants there.


 * The only people coming in and out of the house throughout the day til the next morning were Margarita, Dr. Felix, Caspar, and his mistresses, going by the truth of all the testimonies.


 * Hanne states either both Dr. Felix and Margarita are lying or there's some intruder who somehow go through it all.


 * Ein suddenly apologizes and mentions there was one other person: Hanne Lorre. Naturally, Hanne flips out whether he suspects her to be a criminal and Ein tries to explain it's just for procedure.


 * Elluka: "Give me a break. There's no motive for me to kill Caspar. Especially since we hadn't even met yet." Ein readily admits motivation would be the primary sign of murder.


 * It's not unreasonable to think of Dr. Felix and Margarita's motives; Margarita would reasonably be angry at Caspar for openly cheating on her and Dr. Felix would benefit by having his daughter in control of the Blankenheim family riches and state, bringing back the Felix family's lost status.


 * Hanne asks to confirm if the couple had children and Ein confirms they don't; in that case, Margarita could remarry and that child successor would remove the Blankenheim name from the geneology.


 * Still, it's only a theory; no clear evidence that Margarita and Marx hated the Blankenheims and she hadn't yet taken into account the presence of Pere Noel in this whole matter. Things were becoming "more complex".


 * Hanne begins to say her goodbyes and that she (I think) wants him to set her up with a meeting and Ein asks who so Hanne gets a bit evasive.


 * Ein doubts she'd just be allowed to meet with anyone as a reporter (unaware she has her "stamp of [Shaw's] approval" trump card, though she wants to avoid using it and causing trouble).


 * She does charm him with (I think) her desire to get to the bottom of the story; Ein agrees to ask and Hanne's ready to go meet with Marx before her meeting with Dr. Rogze.

I'm still not 100% sure whether or not Marx was in on this. He's supposed to have a "death line" but it's not in the next scene. My guess would be Chapter 5 would include the scene but I can't be sure.

Thankfully, Chapter 3, Scene 3 is really short compared to this Ein one so I'll get through it quickly.
