Resolution

It was Hayato Nanjo's manager, Satomi Yoshino who did it. Using vinyl tape and fishing wire she made a human silhouette on the window so it looked like someone was standing there. Then she attached the wire to the tape and a light switch and finally the elevator. So when the elevator went down it first turned on the light then ripped off the tape from the window so to the observers at the bottom it looked like someone was moving in the room.

Yoshino wanted to avenge Hiroyuki Kitano, who she knows was killed by Hayato Nanjo. Kitano got the part of Jinnai couple of years back so a jealous Hayato decided to kill him by telling to do a stunt without a stunt man. Hayato also removed a bolt from Kitano's car which resulted in it crashing and killing him.
