a big hint in this chapter, anyone knows what it is

@cubia: At your comment, I reread the chapter to look for the hint and since the author referenced what Mizuki smelled in the earlier chapter again, is the sour smell the big hint??? Is it from a solvent that hid Ruri's true time of death? I found Izumi-san's comment about Onodera-san's looking outside highly suspicious too since it sounds like what a killer would do when they are worried about the body being discovered.

Actually I forget to comment on the previous chapter also have a big hint as well, these 2 hints back to back is a clue to how the killer commit the murder and who it is. As for your hypothesis, the hint is actually much smaller this time compared to the previous chapter
