Resolution

  Show spoilers »

The culprit is Akiko Mizutani. The motive was that Akiko was going to sell her husband's books behind his back for pocket money while he was in the hospital. But, when Sawada found out the true value of the books, he realized that Akiko tried to cheat him. Sawada threatened to tell her husband everything if Akiko didn't give him more. Akiko even admits that even if she paid Sawada a fair share, he might of continued to blackmail her and she would end up with less money for herself. Akiko framed Yujiro because if he had just sold the books, she wouldn't have resorted to the theft. So, Akiko deliberately hid the paper in the books when she had Sawada take them to be appraised, this way he'd immediately realize that he was the thief. She figured that they would get into a fight, then bring Sawada to the park to make the call. The biggest clue was Akiko's glasses. When she went to turn off the stove, steam hit her face, but only one of her lenses fogged up. This is because when Akiko applied the same hand cream as Yujiro's to the weapon to frame him for the crime, Akiko accidentlly got some of the cream on her lenses. Agasa adds if Akiko applied the cream after striking Sawada with the rock, some of his blood should be mixed in with the cream.
