Evidence

• The cut on Ohara's finger, as a result of the piano chord. Blood from the cut was found on the windowsill.
• A piano chord used to attach the stop to the back of a bus.
• When Genta knocked on the bathroom, there was no reply, indicating Ohara wasn't in the bathroom.
• A wooden stop was found, which served to stop the truck.
• A glove was found inside Ohara's car with blood on the same spot as the cut on Ohara's hand.

Motive

• Ohara killed Aida because Aida had supposedly forgotten the favors he owed Ohara and threatened to quit the company. This would have resulted in the company's bankruptcy, so Ohara decided to kill Aida in order to collect insurance money. Furthermore, Aida spoke of collecting large sums of money before quitting.

Conclusion

Ohara admits to killing Aida and apologizes for his crime. Later, the truck driver presents Agasa with a bouquet of flowers, grateful that he was proven innocent.
