Resolution

  Show spoilers »

Although there are no signs of a trap and no time to dispose of the trap. Because the trap is still there but we can't see it. It's made of snow and ice. first the culprit made the path narrower by shoveling snow. then placed a sheet of ice under the snow. As the ice melts, it becomes slippery. The plastic wrapping from Monaka Ice were found in the ice. because Genta took it from the freezer of the boarding house during 'he washed his face'. That and because Ayumi smelt Garlic he deduced this. The Genta crumbs fell into the ice sheet while it was setting. Therefore because there would be no reason why the crumbs were there must be from the residents of the house. At first they suspect Aya. But because she wasn't carrying shovel and cooler box to keep the ice cool. Furthermore, she called out to the kids. A culprit wouldn't do it. Ryoko admits she did it. She did this because the sisters consider Juri as a daughter. Ryoko was always cooking so she had access to the freezer. But unfortunately the culprit isn't Ryoko. She was protecting the true culprit, Juri Himuro. Juri then screams stop and admits that she committed the crime and hid her own medication. Her motive was because he was breaking up with her and has another new girlfriend. Only if he did one final thing for her she'd let her go.
