The TV guy says for the murder of Anita's mother, I think it's supposed to say Anita's wife

 

[Doomroar]

Bro you could have told the nurses to write the message for you...

 

[Legend13]

Wait, was the detective going to write down her secret or something? I’m confused.

I think at the last second he decided that to be a good detective he had to report her, but died before writing her full name.

 

[Mr.Otaku]

Tsumugi the goat for killing that bitch. Also glad that the cat is in heaven, he did not deserve that (⁠个⁠_⁠个⁠)

Anita is the family(last) name

Do murder really gets solved if some random decides to write a suicide notes and confess in a text?

There isn't any new evidence, and existing evidence wasn't enough to lead to a suspect so it'd be no different if the neighbor confessed right?

Tsumugi Did Nothing Wrong

Damn. Rambling ahead.

I know opinions on this series are a little mixed because of this arc. I really appreciate the follow-up on everything though instead of just "well we figured out the murderer and killed them. Happy Ever After. Time for Spica to move to the next twisted case."

I also appreciate that Spica explained the truth to the detective. I get the feeling she's more confused than anyone else, in these situations, as to why she's so compelled to "fix buttons." She comes across as a manipulative psychopath due to her pleasant yet emotionally vacant demeanor. Yet she deemed it important to meet with the man who had resolved his last purpose in life to bring the "killer" to his own justice.

Since we really only get to hear Spica's thoughts when she speaks them, my only guess is she either wants to get caught and brought to justice herself or shes looking for an answer to a question she doesn't even know what to ask.

I also appreciate the prologue on the father despite Spica not actually meeting him. It's refreshing to know that the reveal of the real murderer brought him closure to some extent.

The detective is hella funny.
the whole monologue about "buh huh, i judged the innocents guy", process to judge MC as TRUE MONSTER 3 second later lol what ?
Worst is, He was about to do the same shit and almost kill an innocent guy. MC at least, not only give the family, this detective closure, she saved a innocents life, and prevent a good men from being a murder. What the Detective would do, at best only for punished the culprit. Heck she even give every "wrong button" a last chance, i don't believe the detective plan to do the same

I don't know enough about criminal investigations in Japan but at the very least in the US, all the evidence the Police had would've pointed to the Husband as well. The same problem would've occurred though, you've got motive but no actual evidence that directly connects the husband to the crime.

Also, not sure if I'm misinterpreting your comment or if you didn't catch this so I apologies ahead of time, but the "random" that "wrote" the suicide note was the neighbor. You make a solid point though!

I'd have to re-read this myself but I seem to recall the detective mentioning noise complaints from a neighbor in his original investigations. If so, then it's the fault of the detective and the investigation unit for not exploring that as a possible motive either.

For what it's worth, motive doesn't have to be something big like "husband cheating on wife doesn't want wife and family to find out." It can be, and very often is, something so small just like a noise complaint or "I didn't like the way that person looked/talked to me."

The ending feels not satisfying, but it’s just like in real life. I feel bad the detective died un peacefully

it more like solved off-screen because that part isn't really important and useless to the narrative.


But Honestly, The hardest part is don't know where to look. You don't know nothing, directionless. That is the hardest part. especially the murder connection to the victim in this case is too unprediable. They never even look into at the neighbor before. But if there are a direction, now that is the entirely different story. You now just need to proved it true or not, follow lead to confirm the event and connect the dot. And one they have right direction to look, there could be more evidence.
police could check and find yes, she is their neighbor of that back then, ask witness to connect the dot. While a lot of witness may not see it at the time, now with the truth is out, they could provide value information that revelent. like someone could saw she buy, carry gas. That just few thing on top of my head.

Thank you very much for the translation

Well for a high school student, killing others for her own "code", not once but several times at that. I can see even deep down she would question her own heart. After all taking others life, is never be so simple...
