It is the last night of Carnival. High above the harbor city of Port Zephyr, the Lilac Palace is holding the grandest party of the year: the Masquerade Ball. At the door every guest was handed the same plain black mask, and an invitation number was pinned to every lapel.
This year, though, one thing is spoiling the fun: the owner of the palace, Count Hugh Mustgo. For weeks, strangers with measuring tapes have been sizing up the walls, and the Count gives everyone who asks the same answer: "I shall make my announcement at midnight. By morning, nothing in this palace will ever be the same." Everybody has drawn the same conclusion: the palace has been sold to a soap factory, and this is the last ball.
At 10:00 p.m., as the tradition of the Candle Waltz demands, the chandeliers were put out. Only candles were left burning, and behind all those identical masks nobody could really tell who was who. At 10:15 p.m. the Count had the great hall closed so that it could be made ready for midnight. Guests and staff drifted off to the side rooms, and the Count withdrew to his private box above the hall, the Count's Box, to write his speech.

Yes. Every game the draw makes someone else the killer and the evidence changes. If the same group plays again, have everyone take a different character.
Nothing changes. The guide holds no information meant for the killer, and you prepared the cards and the file without reading them, so you are in the same position as everyone else.
No. The records give numbers, not names, and none of them shows the exact answer on its own; each one only leaves a few possibilities open. Finding the right person means reading the records together.
If their character has the highest number, simply leave it out. If not, the player with the highest-numbered character plays the missing character instead.
