The victim must involve everyone in suspicion and evoke guilt, they must be a good character and not a criminal.
The suspects should be mostly apparent, they must be guilty of something because if they are innocent they have no aesthetic or relation to the cime/criminal type. The principle causes of guilt are: intention to murder, other illicit crimes, despise the law, refual to co-operate and a lack of faith which can lead them to confuse clues (Murder on the Orient Express)
The criminal is the rebel who claims the right to be omnipotent, he must seem to be innocent if we are to decipher their identity and so a demonic pride must be concealied. The end of the criminal is execution, suicide or madness. The first is preferable as if they commit suicide or go mad they refuse to atone. Execution/murder (legally or illegally) is the act of atonement by which society has forgiven them.
