[No one can empoison] - 4
[The maid prepared the meal] - 3
[The Murderer's Notice] - 1 + 2


Since the question is asking for during the meal, The Murderer’s Notice is a better choice than maid prepares the meals.


I will change the answer to that since most of you consider The Murderer's Notice to be a valid choice too.

The act of poisoning in sight of the public and writing the killing notice at the crime scene are certainly abnormal behaviors for people in the living room. I should verify one more thing before going to the next step. Did the murderer poison the food?

Was the food empoisoned? [Yes] or [No]. There’s only one answer.

Did the murderer poison the food?




A. [Yes] – Answer yes.
B. [No] – Answer no.
C. [The girl who hates tomato] – Nene hates tomato, so she didn’t drink the soup.
D. [Did the maid kill herself?] – Did the maid perform suicide in the kitchen…?
E. [Wine] – Wine selected by Shizuma
F. [Yoshiko in the kitchen] – Yoshiko spent a long time in the Kitchen area before the crime.
G. [Shizuma in the living room] – Shizuma went to the living room before the meal began.
H. [The maid prepared the meal] – Yuriko is responsible for preparing the food.

The food is poisoned…Then which sealed sound can point to the reason that Shizuma and Yoshiko who ate the same food didn’t die?


The reason why everyone else did not die although the food was poisoned.


A. [The girl who hates tomato] – Nene hates tomato, so she didn’t drink the soup.
B. [Did the maid kill herself?] – Did the maid perform suicide in the kitchen…?
C. [Wine] – Wine selected by Shizuma
D. [Yoshiko in the kitchen] – Yoshiko spent a long time in the Kitchen area before the crime.
E. [Shizuma in the living room] – Shizuma went to the living room before the meal began.
F. [The maid prepared the meal] – Yuriko is responsible for preparing the food.

Could it be because they were also the only ones drinking the Wine?

Shizuma selected it and Yoshiko decided to tolerate the choice despite preferring White Wine over Red because the Matriarch stopped Yuriko earlier from buying more of the former out of Distaste for the Stuff...

I agree - it seems likely that there was a counteragent to the poison in the wine. I can probably predict the next couple of steps as well, because the logical path seems pretty clear from here, but I won't.

Yoshiko for me still. She was in the kitchen for the longest time.

I'll say Yoshiko, because there's nothing to the fact She spent a lot of time in the Kitchen that doesn't rule out her poisoning the Soup while Yuriko was serving Shizuma (who feels like an accomplice creating a blind spot) Wine in the Living Room...

Yoshiko is the only one with the opportunity so far. Though of course, the fact that the antidote was probably in the wine means that Shizuma was probably involved, too... Well, one step at a time, I suppose.

Sigma, that requires four Sealed Sounds. 1 does not equal 4. Is your dress so snappy it cut off blood circulation to your brain?

Anyway, since it requires four, I'd say exclude "the girl who hates tomato."

The requirement is actually represent by the dot Inside the darkness. The dots around it are the space you can place.

I'd say everything except the maid prepared the meal. Nene had neither wine nor tomato soup, the two locations prove that the other two had soup, and then the maid was killed in case she discovered the truth.

She was in the kitchen. It's already been established that the poison was planted ahead of time, and Yoshiko was the only person we saw enter the kitchen - and, if I remember correctly, specifically do something unseen with the soup.

Is that so…
All sealed sounds has resonated. Now, it’s time to reveal the truth…
The culprit is…


Eh?
Let’s look at the hypothesis that someone in the living room is the murderer.


The words that appears when Obaba died.
It can be view as the murderer’s notice. That means the murderer would have to keep a close eyes on Obaba and kill her. However, no one empoisoned the food during the meal.
Yeah…
Then the food was poisoned during the preparation?
No, the poison is in the soup since the beginning.
W-wait a minute. But Shizuma and Yoshiko both drank the same thing.
Yes, the food is the same.
Then, what is not the same?
?


Eh?
… Hm, but those two also drank the wine? If Obaba had drink the wine, then we can even hypothesize the poison is in the wine… But what is happening here?
The poison is definitely in the soup.
But three people had drank it. Yet, only Obaba is poisoned to death.
The girl who didn’t drank it is obviously still alive, but Shizuma and Yoshiko who drank the Wine did not die…
?
Still didn’t get it? The soup have poison, but the two who drank the wine didn’t die.
Let’s think of it this way.
If the wine have some kind of antidote.
Eh…? Something like that…
That poison…


Probably was pour into the soup when she tries it in the kitchen?
At that time…
Then she adds the antidote into the wine that Shizuma wanted to drink, and drank it with him.
Additionally, she knew that the tomato soup wouldn’t be drank by that girl.
Hm… It’s true that would be able to kill only Obaba…Then what’s the reason that Yuriko is dead too?
The maid, Yuriko, might had wanted to prove the food she prepared is not poisoned, so she went ahead and try the soup herself.
Is… It?
Q.E.D.
Alright, begin tuning.


Alright, let’s go. The Ouma who twisted the history of Kurogami family should be at the kitchen.
How did you know the location of the Ouma?
Ouma hid in places that can exert the most influence on the murderer.
It should now appears after my tuning.
Understood.
Now we need to defeat the main culprit in this gap… Ouma.
Time Turning complete.
Hm. Forward! To the Ouma’s location!



Are you satisfied with Sigma’s conclusion? Shall we proceed to battle... Or redo a few reasoning?

So for future reference, here's what we just tried:

Reasoning #1:
1: The murderer [is] in the living room.
2: This contradicts the facts that [nobody can poison the food during the meal] and [the murderer writing a notice.]
3: The food [was] poisoned.
4: Shizuma and Yoshiko weren't poisoned because they [drank the wine.]
5: [Yoshiko] is the culprit.
6: She was [in the kitchen at 11], giving her the opportunity.


Result: Sigma was able to give a convincing account of the murder, but was unable to explain Yuriko's death.

I kind of want to go back and see what Sigma tries to conjecture out if we say no to the first step.
