Part 3
I feel like Nitta and Nose spent a lot of time talking about the friend of the victim, even though it didn’t end up in any clue. But there is probably more to find there. At least they seem to have a solid theory about the kind of person that is behind the first anonymous tip. (not sure if it’s the same person that tipped about the body in the apartment, that also tipped about the killer being at the party)
I am not seing 日下部 as a potential suspect at all, I think he’s just here so that there are some hardships in Naomi’s life. But of course I could be wrong and it’s like in book 1, one of the customer whose story is resolved, was the murderer after all. He definitely wouldn’t like to have a pregnant girlfriend on the side right now, with all that he’s preparing for the proposal to the future fiancee (though said-future-fiancee sees things differently it seems).
(Also I have the music Memory in my head all the time now! I wish I remembered where I’ve heard it before, as it’s very familiar but I’ve definitely never seen the Cats musical. Though according to Wikipedia the music became popular way beyond the musical)
