History[]
As Yurie's ghost, she continues to create branded products and is the number one fashion designer in "Kimisawa". She used to be a model for the company. Her prowess as a designer is tremendous, and when Suzy destroys her competition-winning dress, she improvises with off-the-shelf materials to create a dress that wows the audience.
She has a grape allergy and can't drink any of her wine (except her Yuge cherry version).
At the beginning of the story, she is about to be killed by a Burial Silver Coin.
She's later revealed as the true culprit of this case.
In fact, Masumi, who forced him to kill him, is surprisingly similar in her life and the values he cultivated in it, and was described as a "spiritual twin" from the beginning. Naoko has found this missing link in advance, and it is used as the most important key to this murder drama.
She also had a bad behavior like Masumi, and nine years ago, when she was a model, she was attacked by Akio, a former bad friend who knew of her existence, and impulsively killed her in self-defense. . She considered surrendering herself to the police, but in the end she decided to throw her corpse out of fear that her success would be ruined for the sake of the scumbag Akio. However, she sees her corpse by Yurie, who happened to visit her for a meeting. participated in the abandonment of.
In this case, Naoko loved Yurie like her mother, but when she witnessed the secret meeting between Yurie and Inukai, she told him that Inukai knew about her murder. Naoko, who heard Yurie telling Inukai that she was going to hand over the company, thought she had been betrayed by Yurie. To make matters worse, she was summoned by Inukai, who told her, " If I become president, I will make Sayoko, her mistress, the chief designer, and Naoko will get rid of her." Hatred becomes decisive.
Naoko thought, ``Yurie is using me as much as she wants to use me and is going to throw it away like garbage.'' was used to cause this incident. In fact, it was Naoko who pushed Hiroshi to Masumi.
Hiroshi was still alive when Masumi hit him, but while Masumi was out to buy a carry-on bag, he broke into his room and finished him unconscious (by the way, It's unknown how she got into Masumi's room.) Knowing everything about her psychological state, she deliberately manipulates the actions she should take, and carries out her murderous play without getting her own hands dirty. Criminals using psychological tricks.
Furthermore, when she kills one of her targets, Rokujou, she also puts up a clever line of defense by pretending that her life is being targeted and avoiding being a suspect. However, she is deceived by the information that "Yurie saved her life and entered the intensive care unit", and is stopped by Kindaichi when he comes to finish her off.
Still, she refused to admit her guilt, but when she stole a floppy containing the physical measurement data of a "Kimisawa" employee used to make a death costume for the target in the murder, she I stole the "to" floppy with no name and left the "ka" floppy with the actual data .
This is because Kimisawa's head office is located on Karasuma-dori in Kyoto Prefecture, and the person who entered the data misread "torimaru" as the familiar character "Karasuma". It is due to mistakenly registering it as "Karasuma" on the floppy disk of "Ka".
If Naoko had used her computer to check the contents and checked the floppies other than "To", it would have been a irreversible mistake. Because of this, there is no one other than her who can know Naoko's data. She thought of stealing all the floppies, but if he did that, he would use the fact that there were no floppies with the character "ki" to " bring Yurie Kimisawa the scene of Sayoko Kiriyama". It is assumed that she did not take it because it would make things difficult.
