<spoiler>The killer is '''Keizo Masuo'''. Knowing his wife's daily routine, he set a knife hidden in a bookshelf and tied it to his wife's exercise bike. The string was wound around the pedal and would eventually pull the knife from the shelf, stabbing Kayo in the process. Once they arrived at the scene of the crime, Keizo instructed Takagi and Sato to check upstairs while he went to the living room where Kayo's body is to eliminate the evidence. To establish an alibi, Keizo called his wife from the police station and had her talk to Takagi. The evidence is the blood on his finger. He used pin to easily release the string so the pedal will roll it. However, while putting the pin, he pricked his finger and the bloodstain is still on the top of the bookshelf. If the blood on his finger and the bloodstain on the shelf matched, then he is really the murderer. Keizo admitted his crime.

<spoiler>The killer is '''Keizo Masuo'''. Knowing his wife's daily routine, he set a knife hidden on the top of the bookshelf and tied it to his wife's exercise bike with a thin rope. The string was wound around the pedal and would eventually pull the knife from the shelf, stabbing Kayo in the process. To establish an alibi, Keizo called his wife from the police station and had her talk to Takagi shortly before she "was attacked". Once the police arrived at the scene of the crime, Keizo instructed Takagi and Sato to check upstairs while he went to the living room where Kayo's body is to eliminate the evidences. Unfortunately for Keizo, he accidently pricked his finger while removing the pin used in the crime in order to hide the string inside the bike. If the blood on his finger and the bloodstain on the shelf match, then it will be proved that he is the one who set up the trick to murder his wife.
  
The bank robbery was actually set up by Keizo, who was forced to set it up due to his wife's lavish lifestyle. The bank robbery would have gone smoothly had it not for Kayo being there during the robbery. While being taken hostage, Kayo recognized one of the robbers, not knowning that her husband was the inside man. Which was why the robbers switched hostage.

Cornered, Keizo admits his crime, claiming that he and Kayo had fallen out recently thus he decided to kill her. However, Sato correctly deduces that Keizo's true motive is actually to cover his role as '''the mastermind behind the robbery crime at the branch under his management'''.

The robbery was actually set up by Keizo as he was under financial trouble due to his wife's lavish lifestyle. The plan would have gone smoothly had it not for Kayo happening to visit the bank on that day. While being taken hostage, Kayo recognized the robbers as her husband's friends and not knowing that he was infact the inside man, which was the reason why the robbers switched hostage.
