Couldn't Bonolenov have killed both Zakuro and Lynch? He said he needs Zakuro to follow up, but wouldn't he just be a loose end? Killing both of them would have caused Xi-Yu to investigate, sure, but with the Heil-Ly around killing people, wouldn't they automatically suspect them first, or since the two were searching for Hisoka, suspect Hisoka killed them? It would be extremely unlikely they think the troupe killed them for no reason, and any witnesses would still see Bonolenov disguised as Hisoka doing the deed. It would effectively be the same result but with less risk of Zakuro's report making someone think something was up since the Xi-Yu would have zero leads.
