Eep, I didn't think of that. How about this, though...

-

Red statements:

Julius’ room should be considered a closed room.

the detective – in this case, Nanako – is not the culprit.

No one who was physically capable of killing Julius could have entered the room

the one person who could have entered the room – Soma Schicksal – couldn’t have made it to and from the room prior to Kota’s discovery of the corpse

no one could have killed Julius through direct means

that the only way someone could have killed Julius was through indirect means

no such mechanisms exist in this room, nor do traces thereof

no traps or mechanisms were used to kill Julius

————

Yesterday evening, shortly before 7 PM, I prepared a cup of chamomile tea at Julius’ request

departed the lounge. On my way out, I passed Emil in the entrance lobby, and when I stepped out of the elevator onto the Blood members’ floor, Nana was there

————

No I did not!

I don’t prepare food on an individual basis for regular meals

If I had tried any funny business, Kigurumi would have seen

————

they had indeed witnessed Ciel go directly from the lounge to Julius’ room to deliver his evening tea

both Ciel and Mutsumi had officially been cleared of any suspicion, which meant that poisoning was completely ruled out as a modus operandi

————

No one could have killed him before the body was found, no one could have set up any traps or mechanisms to kill him remotely, and no one who could have poisoned his food did

————

no one could have killed him before the body was found

————

his room had been a true closed room before Kota unlocked the door

Nanako had had her eye on it or had sealed it herself starting from an hour after Kota found the body

————

Both Ciel and Mutsumi have been cleared of all suspicion regarding the matter of poisoning

my only window for when the murder could have been committed was after Kota discovered the body, when Julius’ room was no longer a closed room.

————

I departed my office upon hearing Kota’s initial scream this morning, which, I presume, was the moment he discovered the body. As it happened, I arrived at the door to Julius’ room, which was at the time open, right after Kota had left. After examining the scene myself, taking care not to disturb the body or the room itself, I took the liberty of locking the door with my personal master key so as to prevent anyone else from disturbing the scene… of course, when this crowd began to gather after hearing Kota’s frenzied shouts, I was forced to unlock the door at the behest and insistence of those who wished to see the scene for themselves and confirm Julius’ death.

————

Julius’ room was in fact a closed room the entire time, except when it was already under direct surveillance?

————

and came face to face with the culprit

————

Julius Visconti did not commit suicide

-

Blue statements:

the option of poison

————

two possible culprits present themselves

Either of them would have had opportunities to slip poison into Julius’ food or drink

it could easily have taken effect after Julius had fallen asleep

————

the only way you could have put poison in Julius’ tea undetected was in your own room, on the way to Julius’

————

there’s no way I could have ensured that he’d eat the poisoned food and no one else

————

anyone could have entered the room after Kota left

————

the use of colored text has made it too easy...?

Hopefully this should help. Just read through and use this to know which statements are red and which are blue.
