A crossbow may only sometimes be used to fire at an enemy 7.5 feet away in a diagonally-located square, because it is ranged. It may not be used to fire 7.5 feet between diagonally-opposite squares that are adjacent to the crossbow wielder (and target) and are both occupied by figures or bordered by intervening, contiguous obstructions such as a wall. That blocks line of site for long range weapons. The crossbow is described as long ranged as well as requiring you can "see" a monster. Only a melee (close combat) weapon intended for diagonal attack such as a longsword can attack diagonally between two blocked squares.
