There was an anon a while ago who pointed out that the cross Jacketko holds could symbolize both Christianity and the wooden thing used to control puppets. In light of that, the "dolls" could be seven honest men, who were "puppeteered" by the killer, that fits well with the And Then There Were None parallels. The cross could then also refer to predestination, or a kind of metafiction, and the dolls are all 2hus. The whole story happens because it was written that way. I think that fits well with the idea of Gensokyo. Being a land of illusion, it is kind of like a puppet show. A lot of 2hus are dressed like dolls too.
