Resolution

  Show spoilers »

The murder was committed by Ensaku Toyoshima. The motive for the deed was the death of his younger sister, her husband, and their three-year-old son in a car accident. They had one day rented the special suite Nagami Oiso liked so much for a night in order to enjoy the special view it offered, until Nagami selfishly laid claim to the suite for herself, forcing the family to go to another hotel. But on their way there, they became victims of a fatal hit-and-run accident... with Nagami Oiso riding the car which hit theirs. In order to avoid prosecution, she called Toyoshima and asked him for a false alibi, thereby inadvertently revealing herself as one of the culprits.

Reconstruction of the refraction trick used to conceal Nagami's corpse

Toyoshima committed the murder while he was attending to Nagami alone, ripping off the mouthpiece of her oxygen tank and drowning her in the pool. In order to provide himself with an alibi, he had prepared the aquarium by fixing it to the bottom of the pool with a fishing line, employing a natural light refraction trick to conceal the body inside the glass cube in the middle of the pool. When Nagami's disappearance was noted and everybody started searching for her, he secretly cut the line, thereby releasing the aquarium and thus allowing the body to appear. Then, while retrieving the scuba tank, he secretly dragged the aquarium away from the pool's center with his foot, he dropped the tank onto it and thereby smashed it to pieces in order to conceal its original shape. The evicence for this is found on the fishing line, which Toyoshima had wound up in a coil, thereby leaving his fingerprints on it.
