==Biography==
===Benizome Hot Springs Murder===
Sachiko and her husband spend a few days at the Benizome Hot Springs. Although they get along well at dinner, they quarrel later in the evening because of a joke he told. Sachiko even wants to get divorced because of it. A drunk Amamiya tearfully tells her not to do it before she heads to bed. Sachiko considers her words and concludes that she was simply feeling "a little funny." Her husband then suggests to relax in the hot spring because she has not been in it yet. She follows his suggestion and goes to the women's bath while her husband remains in the lounge with Michiyo, Ron Kamonohashi, and Totomaru Isshiki.
The next morning, an employee finds Sachiko's corpse floating in the women's bath. Amamiya confirms her death and estimates that she died sometime between midnight and 2 a.m. A coroner later examines the body and determines that Sachiko died of a heart attack caused by a heat shock from the temperature difference between the dressing room and the hot spring.
Ron and Toto investigate Sachiko's death and deduce that she was murdered: Her husband switched the curtains of the men's and women's bath to get access to the women's bath. He used two rain gutters to replace the bath's hot water with the river's ice cold water and covered the entrance to the hot spring with a bathmat to let her fall into the freezing water. He knew of her weak heart and that the heat shock she would experience would kill her.
Sachiko's husband confesses to the murder and reveals that he has been having an affair with Michiyo; he killed Sachiko to be with Michiyo.
