That makes sense. Isolating the Godfather would certainly help the town.

About the situation, I agree with Husar that we either have Sasaki - Seamus- and Godfather together or GH - Myrd - CR working together. I'm not entirely sure whom to believe at this point. On one hand, it seems like Sasaki is trying to manipulate and deceive the town (he is notoriously good at this), but on the other hand it looks like GH and Myrd are pulling off an extremely clever ruse (Sasaki has pointed out several flaws in their 'evidence').

We won't find out anything from Myrd's status at this point. If he is the detective, then his ability to find the Godfather is gone. And now that both mafia grunts are dead, he is no longer a threat to the mafia - meaning that they can keep him alive and keep us wondering. But if he is in the mafia, then he obviously won't be killed and we are still left wondering.
