So far by the new hints we discovered that the night was incredible long and someone got murdered
(but wait, isn't the contest all about geting the murderer's name? is really possible that you would be so insane to not include a murderer in the story and let us all get insane trying to find it out?

)
Well, it weren't really night, It were just the lack of eletric power and a tightly shut mansion and by the looks of this mess, Pshyrnk could be the murderer and not the body.
Well, I really managed to decifer the 'hidden message' (or at least I think so) and still, nothing makes any sense. Guess I'll end up using the 'dart method' that you mentioned earlier
