( No Title )
Okay, so in Turnabout Trump, after Zak is killed, the killer takes away the bloody ace from the scene and turns Zak around in his chair.
That means when Phoenix comes back into the room, the only clue that the scene has been altered is the fact that the Ace is missing, and there’s a King in it’s place.
Phoenix has to work backwards to deduce why the Ace would be switched for the King (it must have had blood on it), and why that would be incriminating evidence (it switches the position of the killer.)
Therefore, we have to ask again, why would Kristoph– who knew he was taking an Ace from the table, replace it with a King instead of an Ace?
You can say he didn’t know about the blue/red cardbacks easy, but he had to know which card he was taking, and he’d know that Phoenix would notice that the card had been swapped to a King.
So it makes no sense to do that.
The only possible way it makes sense is if a fourth person switches the Ace with a King in order to catch Phoenix’s attention and incriminate Kristoph.
