Grandma is a new character?
Gripes:
Scheme: Again, Spica could easily have been killed anytime during this "she got caught" phase. The criminals intended to kill her, all they had to do was shoot her. Or maybe they never took off her gag allowing her talk, and then killed her. ... Oh wait...
So grandma is listening in to the whole thing over the phone, and then sends in "inaba" messages as needed to interupt if they got close to killing Spica. Okay, that would help.
Inaba Reveal: I would have to go back and re-read the entire thing to figure this out.
Side Character Catch-up Genius: I hate this trope where the author wants some side character to catch up on what's going on, so the side character suddenly starts jumping to (perfectly accurate) conclusions based on very insufficient evidence.
False Arrest: In other words, he arrested the wrong guy. And... the police failed to browbeat him into a confession for a crime he didn't do. And/or the real criminal came forward, or otherwise they failed to convict. Japan's conviction rate: Over 99%. See Japan Crime: Why do innocent people confess. So this guy's superiors punished him because the person he arrested managed to not be convicted.
Breaking out of chair: I'm assuming that it was something weak like a strip of fabric and she wore it down while they weren't looking. But that's some pretty incompetent criminal action.
Grandma/Spica Relationship:They're not blood related, so no inheritance of psychic abilities. (Probably. With Japan you never know when hidden incest will pop out.) Oops, I misread the story, and somehow thought that Spica was a stepdaughter (or step-grandaugther). But no, she's a normal blood relationship.
Spica Head Trauma: Possibly head trauma is excuse/reason for her sociopathy and/or psychic abilities. (Extra points if it's "Grandma summoned a spirit/demon to possess her step-granddaughter's comatose body.")

Why wouldn't they be related? Grandma is in Spica's family photo in the last page. Couldn't she simply be the mother of Spica's dad?

naaahh I hope the grandma is just an innocent granny checking in on her grandchild. having an accomplice now is kinda late? with no hint on previous chapters unless author makes another bullshit behind the panel interaction that will completely blindside the readers
You're right. I misread it and thought that she was a stepdaughter brought in by the daughter-in-law.

does this mean the manga is ending? Feel like theyve revealed most of the mystery. Wonder if the grandma will take the fall for the revenge murders while Spica gets to go scott free and continue punishing.

gamgam don't take no prisoners
She was a passing mention that Spica lived with an adult give her free range, now we know why
Thanks for the translation
I hate the detective/police in this manga. When murderer kill good person, police IQ low dumb stupid, but when murderer kill evil person, police IQ suddenly clever diligent. Annoying bro. For me, MC is a good person, she only kills evil evil.
