The culprit is Norifumi Saku who originally planned to form a suicide case but that was hindered due to Kogoro's presence during that event. He was tricked onto entering a room, where he believes belongs to the victim's and began his contradictions of him being the murderer. The DND (Do Not Disturb) sign was hung on the door knob was evident that he was unaware that the victim had ordered rice and would reveal his identity if the doorman heard his voice. After strangling his victim, he place Kogoro's cellphone near the door so when they arrive them and called, Kogoro became the primary suspect. The motive for the killer was to end the victims' own devious intentions of "torturing villages" and gaining reputation by overruling Eri as the lawyer. He was further enraged when he discovered that she attempted to make Kogoro lose his virginity while being under the influence of sleeping drugs.

Afterwards, Kogoro tries to ask Eri to return home with him, since it has been a year since they lived separately. Eri pretends not to hear and later at home, listens again to the recording of Kogoro's plead for her return.
