Wadsworth Reconstructs the Evening, Explained：step by step
Having announced "I know who did it," Wadsworth walks the guests room by room, reenacting the whole evening step by step. The others squirm as he narrates doorbells, coats and champagne — and beg him to "get on with it." The polite tour is really an accusation in slow motion.
あらすじ
Wadsworth announces that he knows who committed the murders and offers to show how it was done. He leads the guests through the house, narrating the evening in order: Yvette with the champagne, the doorbell, each guest's arrival. The group grows impatient and urges him to get to the point.

What's really going on
The scene is a reconstruction, and its pleasure is watching Wadsworth control the room. He begins with an offer no one can refuse — 'Very well, I know who did it' — and then turns the guests into an audience, moving them from room to room step-by-step. The details sound innocent (champagne, coats, a doorbell), but each stop quietly places someone. Wadsworth's calm narration is the opposite of a confession, yet it does the same work. The others can feel the trap closing, which is why they keep interrupting with 'Get on with it!' — impatience and dread sounding exactly alike.
Theme
PowerWadsworth commands the room, moving the guests through the house and doling out information on his own schedule.
SecretsThe walkthrough quietly places each guest at the scene, exposing details they would rather leave unexplained.

このシーンについての質問
Why does Wadsworth walk everyone through the house?
He says he knows who did it and wants them to understand how it was all done, so he reenacts the evening step by step, using each room as evidence.
How many murders are there?
The guests count them up: 'Two murders,' then three, until someone says 'Six, all together,' and another adds, 'This is getting serious.'
Did the murderer escape through the front door?
That's the guests' first theory — someone heard the front door slam, and one says the murderer 'must've run out.' Wadsworth's reconstruction means to replace that guess.
Who is Yvette?
The maid. Wadsworth's account begins with her alone in the room at the start of the evening, waiting to offer the guests champagne.
