[There's no reluctance when he goes to huddle out in the hall with Xie Lian. He's not prone to smiling big after all this, but he is smiling a little.]
I know at least one person who will kill this weekend - and I protected her. She is unaware that I did so, too, so it should work. It would be best to focus our efforts on finding information about her or searching for evidence related to her on Thursday.
The ideal situation for Saturday, I think, is that we catch this person. Others then will be able to raise their count, and we can minimize the loss when her execution doesn't work.
The person who is going to kill for certain this week is Miss Jeanne.
[i forgot to acknowledge your tag miss bc of blupcagate i meant to yell IT'S FINE WE TRAUMATIZED YOU]
I see. [He looks thoughtful.] I could potentially leave something somewhere that is personal to her, but I feel doing so would make people believe she's being framed. So let's allow her to do what she plans. She already has been curious about who I claimed to know with my role; she'll know someone is up looking for clues.
Do you know where she plans to stay for curfew? I can inform Hansa and Archer I saw her missing. Zuko also wanted to know what my "source" said; I can tell him the same thing. So at least three eyes will be scrutinizing her.
But if I happen to not check the spot she claims to be, I won't have an alibi for not knowing who else was present. I'm not sure it may matter, in the end.
I don't know, but I can find out. I'll let you know as soon as I do. Worst comes to worst, I'll ask her if she'd like to spend curfew evening with me -- we're friends, and I don't think it would raise any suspicion.
Hopefully, with most people staying in the Northern area, we will be able to narrow things down, but having people scrutinizing her should at least help, too. [ nod nod!! ] I just wanted to make sure that you were aware of it.
I know it is not a duty that he takes pleasure in doing, but... for the good of all of us, he is doing so. [ a pause, and xie lian huffs, a quiet little laugh. ] ...I would've rathered to be the one to do it, but we thought it best to protect my role just in case.
I wish you the best of luck this evening. I hope you will be able to find evidence that can help - it feels like we are starting to narrow down upon them.

Let me know by early Thursday at the latest, if you will. [He offers the other man a small smile.] Thank you, Xie Lian.
I'll do what I can. If worse comes to worse, I'll simply say what I said before during trial, that I know a source who has said they didn't see her.
w5 thursday
Blanca, Miss Jeanne will be curfewing in the tailor's - I asked her if she would be willing to curfew with me.
I've also been asked to have you not check the Blacksmith's.
