Resolution

Show spoilers »

The culprit is Yumi Nakata. Yumi had used a trick to make it look like she was still in her apartment when in reality, she was in the parking lot beating Kazuki Tsukishima to death. Yumi set up a towel on a Ring light and tied a rubber band on the top to mimic her hair bun, she then placed the Ring light on top of a luggage case to match her height.

She then tied a string connected to her curtain and attached the other end to her first cellphone and set it on the edge of a table next to the window. After she murdered Kazuki, she dialed the number of her first cellphone with her second one, which caused the phone to fall off the table pulling the curtain open. This gave the illusion that she had opened her curtain to peer outside, which was also captured on the surveillance camera.

Yumi used a blackjack to kill Kazuki, it involves placing a heavy object into a sock and swinging it with enough force to kill someone. She used Kazuki’s sock and an object of her own to create a blackjack. Detective Kansuke deduces that she had hidden the object in question in her hair bun, he noticed this as Detective Uehara also had her hair in a bun, but she has longer hair. While a photo revealed that Yumi’s hair was shoulder length, which meant that she did not have enough hair to tie it into a bun. Uehara undos her hair, which reveals a wrist weight that was hidden in her hair bun.

Motive

Detective Uehara asks why she didn’t just discard the evidence, but she didn’t have the heart to as the wrist weight was given to her by Chizu Yuba. Chizu had given to her as she did not have time to exercise or go to the gym.

Kyouko and Senta ask why she killed Kazuki and she reveals that she did it in revenge for him causing the death of Chizu’s mother and for putting Chizu into a coma. Years ago, the four of them Kazuki, Kyouko, Senta, and Yumi all came across a car accident, where Chizu and her mother were trapped in their car that was hanging off a steep cliff. They quickly managed to save Chizu, however the car ended up falling down the cliff killing her mother. However, Yumi found it strange as she knew they had enough time to save both of them and yet they failed.

Years later she learned the truth, Chizu had been looking around Kazuki’s laptop and found a video that he recorded of that fateful day. The video revealed that when Kyouko and Senta was attempting to save Chizu’s mother, Kazuki stopped them and told them that it would be better to save her when the ambulance came as it would look more heroic. However, as they were discussing this, the car ended up falling down the cliff which lead to Ms. Yuba’s death. Horrified that she had been lied to, Chizu recorded a copy of the video on her phone and sent a copy to Yumi, who was just as shocked after learning the truth.

Chizu confronted Kazuki with the video and out of fear he chased her to the stairs, where she fell and was left in a coma. After Yumi learned the truth, she intentionally invited Kazuki, Senta, and Kyouko to the hotel to kill Kazuki in revenge. She also intended to frame Kyouko and Senta for his murder as she also held the two of them responsible for what happened to Chizu and Ms. Yuba.

Yumi believes that if she hadn’t kept the wrist weight, she could’ve have gotten away with the murder. However, Detective Kansuke reveals that it would have not mattered as Kazuki with the last of his strength left a dying message with his own body. He positioned his body along the border between Gunma and Nagano to reveal the identity of his killer. He positioned his body to mimic Kanji and with the line going down the middle of his body, it spelled out her entire name: Yumi Nakata.

Trivia

According to production script posted by Nobuharu Kamanaka, the episodes have a tentative title of Gunma Prefectural Police vs. Nagano Prefectural Police? The Body on the Prefectural Border (群馬県警VS長野県警? 県境の遺体 ,Gunma Kenkei Vāsasu Nagano Kenkei? Bōdā no Itai^?)^[1].
The names of the suspects are related to Kyōka Suigetsu (鏡花水月), a recurring theme in Japanese traditional poetry, meaning "flowers reflected on a mirror and the moon reflected on the water's surface"^[2] :
- Kyoko Hoshikawa (星川鏡子) comes from mirror (鏡 ,kagami/kyō^?) ;
- Senta Hanayama (花山泉太) comes from flowers (花 ,hana/ka^?) ;
- Yumi Nakata (中田由水) comes from water (水 ,mizu/sui^?) ;
- Kazuki Tsukishima (月島一貴) comes from moon (月 ,tsuki/getsu^?) ;
- Additionally, Chizu Yuba (弓場千津)'s name comes from Youtuber (ユーチューバー ,Yūchūbā^?) and maps (地図 ,chizu^?).
