Resolution

  Show spoilers »

The culprit is Kengo Aono.

Kidnapping

Location: Inside Hall

Victim: Naeko Miike

Age: 24 years old

Culprit: Kengo Aono

The "No parking" sign is an overlapping of the letters N and O; meaning "No". The color blue of the sign is pronounced as "Ao" in japanese. The two words combined gives "Aono". Furthermore, the "7155" message that the second victim left, is a reference to the article of japanese traffic law, that mentions that a driver must never use his cellphone while driving. Aono's girlfriend committed suicide the week before. He drove without his license while trying to call her, which got him caught by the two police women, Touko and Shiori, who held him back. He believed that he could have prevented the suicide, if they had let him go, and that they wasted time, when they got a call from their friend Yumiko, known as Yumi to them, who invited them to karaoke. But Chiba explains that he was held back, because he could have cause an accident, especially if he drove his car in a panic. Moreover, right after he got his girl friend's text message with a goodbye she had sent him a voicemail, that also recorded her fall. It proves that he could never have stopped her in any circumstances. Aono missed the voicemail, because he had been busy trying to call her phone. Aono breaks down crying.
