Turn 13: Rolo may be innocent. (With proof!)

[inulovinkit.livejournal.com]

When I first watched the episode, I thought something was fishy about Shirley's death scene.

At first, I thought they cut it off for the shock, but there was something else fishy about it. Wouldn't it have been MORE shocking if we actually saw Rolo knife her? We saw Euphie getting shot, after all.

And then, while watching, something hit me.

Rolo carries a knife. He uses his knife to usually kill people when he geasses them.

BUT:



That looks like a bullet hole to me.


Well, she did have a gun on her, so it IS possible Rolo used that, but also--




The gun was found IN HER HAND.



And WE SAW NOTHING. We didn't even see Rolo cast his Geass, but here are some interesting facts we DO know:

It appears Shirley was killed by a gun, not a knife.
Her gun was found in her hand.
We did not see what happened to Suzaku after he 'went in'. (Suspicious... >.>)


Now, I suppose it is possible that Rolo did have a gun on him and shot her. I actually don't care either way, I love Rolo and always will. BUT--after years of watching murder mysteries on TV, these little facts seem all too suspicious to me. And I kinda hope this is geass pulling another twist on us, because it would be awesome.

...Thoughts on my theory?



EDIT: Just to clarify:

I DON'T THINK IT WAS SUICIDE. I think that, if it wasn't Rolo, her death was an accident. An accident by the name of--

SUZAKU! *accusing finger here*

Well, we didn't see what happened after he went in, after all. He could have seen Rolo about to knife Shirley up, shot, and accidentally hit Shirley or something.

Meh--I just want it to be that way because it would be twisty and awesome and it would be like twisted revenge for Euphie--which is also awesome.

(Yeah, really, if Rolo did actually kill her, fine, but these little things make it fun to speculate >.>).



EDIT 2: Okay, I know highly unlikely that Suzaku did it. I just thought it was a fun crack theory. >.>

But I still think it's pretty possible Rolo didn't kill her.

To be honest, I was also having my doubts about Rolo being the murderer and also thought about the whole 'she got the gun in her hand' blablabla
Also, Rolo is such an overly obvious culprit, knowing how protective he is of his 'brother', that the fact they didn't show the actual murder scene made me suspicious.
But...
...there is one thing that made me strongly believe he really might be 'the one' = the mask falling on the ground right after Rolo activated his Geass. + the locket (I hope we will get to see what is inside).
I think it symbolized that Rolo showed his 'true colors'...and killed a possible danger to Lelouch and himself...or not, he might have 'tolerated' Shirley helping them but the moment Nunnaly came up she was a goner...
Something else: who could have killed her? She didn't suicide, Suzaku is not the one either, and I can't think of any character who would have any interest in murdering her either.
And then, what do you suggest Rolo did after suspending the Time with his Geass: he just walked off on her...?

Actually, though the geass symbol showed up in Rolo's eye, we didn't see the geass 'net' go up--which also makes me wonder...

Yeah, he looks pretty guilty, but still I think it's a bit too soon to say that he was actually the one to do it. Even if he did do it, there's something here Sunrise isn't telling us...

well i think Rolo has all the motivations to kill Shirley especially when Shirley says he's not Lelouch's real brother and Lelouch's sister is Nunally. He did it out of jealousy. I could be wrong.
