comment |
After the protagonist was taken in by Shinsuke Utsugi when the former nearly got in trouble with a pair of cops, they were called to investigate the murder of Ayumi Tachbana's friend Yoko Kojima who was getting too close to the truth regarding the ghost tale of the Girl Who Stands Behind. At the same time, the protagonist learns that the murder of the money swindling bartender Genjiro Kaneda may have a factor in the murder. Thus he must find the truth to confirm the man's connection to Yoko's murder. |

Dull Eyes of Unhappiness: Ayumi Tachibana has these as her default expression. Considering that Yoko Kojima, the murder victim, was her best friend, it makes perfect sense. Yoko's homeroom teacher Tatsuya Hibino also has these as well. Though in his case, it's later revealed to be just an act. |

Sheep in Sheep's Clothing: You're repeatedly beaten over the head with how amazing of a guy Urabe is, and insinuating that he's suspicious sets at least a couple of people off. Eventually, evidence starts to implicate him... As it turns out, he is actually innocent, but his willingness to protect Hibino turns out to be his undoing. While he did commit murder, it was an accident and likely would've turned himself in if it could've protected Hibino. He even writes a suicide note that confesses he was behind every murder in the game even though he actually wasn't. |

He Knows Too Much |
| | Famicom Detective Club: The Girl Who Stands Behind (Visual Novel) / int_65acf9db |
comment |
He Knows Too Much: The ultimate explanation behind the murders. It all started when Shinobu walked in on a teenage Hibino right after he'd murdered Genjiro Kaneda, causing her to flee. While running away from the house, she was accidentally hit by Principal Urabe's car after he'd arrived too late to stop Hibino from killing Genjiro. 15 years later, Yoko figured out what happened and confronted Hibino about it, which caused him to strangle her to death. Shortly after this, Genjiro's son Goro revealed that he saw Urabe driving away from the scene of the murder all those years ago, and attempted to blackmail him, forcing Hibino to kill Goro as well. After finally confessing to all of this, an unhinged Hibino attempts to kill Ayumi and the protagonist in order to further cover everything up, stating that this time, he'll make sure their bodies aren't so easily discovered. Luckily, the teens manage to evade him, and he ends up being arrested. |

Adventure Rebuff: The protagonist increasingly gets worried about Ayumi putting her own life into jeopardy like Yoko once did from researching the Girl Who Stands Behind and the Kaneda Case, so he tries to convince her to not overstep her bounds even if it hurts her feelings while she's in her fragile mental state. She eventually forces her hand by slipping sleeping pills into some coffee she gives to the protagonist, so that she can go after Mr. Tazaki, despite fully knowing that he may or may not be the culprit. |

Explain, Explain... Oh, Crap!: Sometime after Tazaki has calmed down, the protagonist asks him about whether anyone could conceivably have used his tools for tearing down a wall with no training, like the one he had plastered on the old school building 15 years ago. He explains that it's possible, if the wall was freshly made, though he otherwise believes that he's the only one who used them that night. Then he remembers that his tools did get tampered with shortly after he had used them. |

It happens to be the first time in the game where Ayumi is genuinely happy. A little time later, another gag happens when the protagonist first meets Hitomi. |

Driven to Suicide: Uchida, the man believed to be the main suspect in the murder case of Kaneda, killed himself just before the police had a chance to interrogate him. Principal Urabe later kills himself out of shame in his office, after having written a message that (falsely) incriminates himself as the killer to protect Hibino. It's revealed that he'd accidentally killed Shinobu with his car all those years ago, and subsequently covered up her death, as well as Yoko's after Hibino murdered her as well. |

Butterface: In the Super Famicom remake, a female tennis player you come across at the high school is initially talked to from a considerable distance. This confuses the protagonist, and so when he asks her to come closer after thinking she must be cute… she turns out to have an extremely ugly and weaselly face, and is also implied to have a crush on the protagonist, which horrifies him. |

His body is left with multiple, savage stab wounds, signifying the murderer’s genuine hatred for the man. While some people feel sorry for them, nobody mourns Goro Kaneda after they are murdered. |

Ms. Hamaya and Mr. Tazaki both share dark secrets that they don’t want anyone else to know regarding their part in the story and end up hindering your efforts. Mr. Kato the barman staunchly refuses to talk about his clients or answer any questions, on account of the protagonist being a minor. He only opens up once the protagonist gets Hitomi's wig and glasses to fall off. |

Fatal Flaw: Urabe's desire to protect Hibino. 15 years ago, when Hibino called Urabe and said that he was planning to kill Genjiro, Urabe sped over in his car to try and stop the boy from ruining his life by committing murder. Not only did he arrive too late, but he also accidentally hit and killed Shinobu, another of his students. 15 years later, when Hibino strangled Yoko to death, Urabe stepped in and disposed of the girl's body to try and protect Hibino once again. The shame and guilt over what he'd done ultimately caused Urabe to commit suicide, but not before crafting a fake confession to try and keep Hibino safe one last time. |

Berserk Button: For certain members of the staff at Ushimitsu High School, insinuating that Principal Urabe might be the killer is this. Especially when you consider that some of them owe their livelihoods directly to him, and was willing to overlook any past mistakes or dark secrets they may have held. The protagonist himself is a pretty calm-collected, ordinary every-man... but insulting his mother is one way to get him to act physical, as the Weird Kid pestering him would have found out if not for Ayumi's sudden appearance. |

Used to Be a Sweet Kid: Ryoko says that Shinobu used to be a sweet girl, but that she become louder, flashier and more of a party girl after she began hanging around with Goro. Her connection to Goro is what ultimately led to her death, as she was hanging out at his house the night his father was murdered by Hibino. |

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane |

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: The resolution to the Girl Who Stands Behind subplot. Ms. Hayama, a teacher at the school, started the rumor back when she herself was a student 15 years ago. Hayama claims that on the night of Kaneda's murder and Shinobu's disappearance, she saw a screaming, blood soaked girl through a window at the school. This is seemingly explained when Hibino claims that he'd taken Shinobu's body into the schoolhouse after she'd been hit by Urabe's car, only for the girl to awaken and begin screaming for help until he finished her off by smashing a vase over her head. However, the epilogue reveals that an examination of Shinobu's skeleton showed no signs of a head wound matching Hibino's description, leaving Utsugi to conclude that she really did die during the car accident. While Hibino's claim that Shinobu had woken up could be dismissed as a hallucination brought on by his mental breakdown, that still doesn't explain how Hayama witnessed the same bloody girl if Shinobu was already dead by that point. When the protagonist points this out, Utsugi just brushes him off and dismisses the Girl Who Stands Behind story as nonsense. This also applies to Yoko. An average high school girl with an investigation hobby started looking into a schoolyard urban legend, and was somehow able to deduce the truth behind a 15 year old Cold Case with no access to new or privileged information, without arousing much suspicion or even contacting most of the people involved, all in just over a week while also attending school, all by herself. Professional private detectives with a healthy relationship with the police took as much or more time to learn the same thing after relentless pavement-pounding and an incident in which a former/potential suspect nearly killed an innocent girl, and they had Yoko's death as motivation for themselves and the people involved. The narrative heavily implies that Shinobu's spirit possessed Yoko (her cousin), explaining how she knew so much as well as her demeanor in her final week, especially her leaving cryptic hints as to the true location of Shinobu's corpse, something that even the detectives got wrong. It's ultimately never confirmed one way or the other, but a plausible mundane explanation is similarly never even contemplated. |

Screw This, I'm Outta Here: In Chapter 10, after he pretends to be the culprit, Komada gets fed up with the protagonist's suspicion of Urabe being involved with the murders and leaves the school. He isn't seen again for the rest of the game. |

Never Found the Body: The missing person from the Kaneda incident, Shinobu Asakawa, disappeared on the night of the murder and hasn’t been seen since. It’s speculated by the police agency that she may still be alive, but according to the investigator you talk to, the chances of that are slim at best. At the end of the game, it's revealed that her decaying corpse was hidden behind the hallway mirror. |
