Well this ep certainly seems to point towards a supernatural influence.
Spoiler
for
title
:
Even if we go by supernatural influence who could have killed Rika and why. She must have been killed pretty recently since the blood was still liquid.
If we go with the supernatural theory could it be something broke out from inside of her ( like some inner demon or similar? )
Also K1 would need some sort of divine protection if he was to survive the gas as described in the HINTS.
I think it would be better if there was a non supernatural explanation however.
The people killed or suicided could be one of the Mion/Shion duo ( whoever is the unstable one from arc 2 ) going on a coverup rampage. For instace killing Irie for being in on druging the photographer, Rika might be in the know of something she shouldn't as well, of course it could be M/S that killed Irie and someone else that killed Rika.
In this ep there is supposedly gas coming from the marsh, this ep also differsfrom the others in that there was quite a bit of digging going on in that area.
I wonder what happened to Oishi, since it seemed he disappeared could he have disappeared in the marsh during investigation? Could it be that he operated some sort of heavier machinery there searching for the body and helped open a hole to the gases ( seems a bit farfetched since I'd guess you would have to use more force. It could be he was present in the marsh however and was one of the first victims of the gas ( perhaps there was a small burst some time before the large amount came out ) and disappeared into the marsh, could that drainage pipe from episode 12 be some sort of clue, it would be unlikely though that it was connected to some underground reservoir of poison gas?
As for K1 surviving the gas we don't really know how far the river took K1, perhaps the most logical explanation is that the river took him far enough away from the gas so he wasn't poisoned severely enough to die.
I wonder what happened to Satoko she is reported missing.
Rika is said to have died in arc 2 as well without there being any poisoning of the village so I doubt her death has anything to do with that.
