This is a curse, isn't it?

Of course.  It has to be.  Murder doesn't happen this often, not even in relatively violent places like this.  Since it's a curse it will be over with by midnight, everyone will be alive, and we won't have to worry about being stabbed in the back if we leave our apartments.  There aren't that many murderers in the City

It wouldn't. Could it be something more than a curse, though? A punishment from the deities, perhaps? Some kind of... chemical in the water supply?

Tests could be--no, waiting would be wiser.

I don't suppose going outdoors before midnight is advisable...

Then I suppose they can't be blamed.
