Resolution

  Show spoilers »

There was no culprit. Ironically, the murder turned out to be a involuntary manslaughter committed by Fusaya Oide. He accidentally pushed his father to a wall when they were arguing, causing the shelf to fall and hit Raita on his head, giving him a concussion. Nevertheless, he got up and searched for Fusaya. At 4:30 p.m., when Taira entered the house, he saw Raita sleeping on the floor, but didn't notice Raita was passing away due to the hematoma he got from the concussion. Fusaya breaks down in tears after learning he killed his father indirectly, and later turns himself in to the police.
