After tranquilizing and impersonating Sonoko, he reveals Miki Kitagawa as the culprit. He reveals that the instance they found Miyasaka, he was feigning death as a prank. After everyone except Kitagawa goes to the lobby, she committed the murder and exchanged the knife, evidenced by the stains on the knife's handle. She then proceeded to murder Takayama who was an accomplice to Miyasaka's prank to hide her alibi. Kitagawa confesses and reveals her as vengeance after her first big role as an actress was denied after Miyasaka and Takayama caused the show to drama to be canceled. However, Saeko Akimoto yells at her and says she should have tried harder to make it as an actress and that such a reason was not an excuse for murder. Kitagawa breaks down after hearing her say that.
