Did they explain why that Hinako's art homework look like the scene from the murder party?
She's the mastermind. She orchestrated the party and the killings. She knows the mansion so well she knew where a bike could get inside (because the front door is too dangerous), and she knew where all the traps were so she could avoid them while acting childish. Not to mention, she must have been quite well trained to execute these moves also. Her "homework time" allowed her to spy on the party (which she drew) without putting herself in danger. But after realizing that the survivors were capable of reaching the elder, she had to go personally to silence him. The time that she finished her homework was the same time that the survivors had formed into a group. It wasn't a coincidence. Which is why she had to kill the "master" before the others arrive, with a boat so that her identity is kept hidden in case she failed or was not on time.
She led one survivor astray so that the group would arrive separately at the elder's final trap room, giving her more time to kill the elder herself while thinning out the surviving group. Not to mention, she knew that the arrival of several criminals one after the other would let the elder retreat into the cliff side. Otherwise, she could not kill the elder with the boat.
Note that she didn't enter the final room herself, but that there was a dust shoot that led to safety right before the final trap room. If all criminals could simply escape like that, what would even be the point of a final trap room? When the martial artist reached the door however, there was no visible dust shoot anymore. In addition, we notice that the bodies below the dust shoot were actually some feet away from the exit. If this was regular dust shoot, Hinako should have landed on the bodies and garbage below. Which means that something periodically happens below the dust shoot to make the bodies go a few feet away (to one direction) and leave the ground unstained with blood. Now obviously, physical removal of the bodies would leave trails of blood, to erase the blood afterwards is just unproductive. The integrity of the mansion hints at another trap. Which makes sense, the dust shoot shouldn't have been a easy ticket out, it should have been lethal. But Hinako was unaffected by it. Either she knows the nature of the trap below, or she was just lucky as hell.
But then isn't it a big coincidence that Hinako had direct access to the boat afterwards, in a mansion that was expecting a bunch of criminals and looking to prevent their escape? The boat should have been locked down and away from plain sight, but Hinako has easy access to it regardless. Also, she knew where to ram the boat just right so that it kills the elder. The part of the ship that she used to ram him was her blind spot, but nevertheless she rammed the elder perfectly. Consider, from another angle, that she is also a very good pilot. Do good pilots just randomly ram into a huge cliff side by accident? Unless she had plans of the mansion, everything that she does in the mansion is just a coincidence too big to believe...
Interestingly, on a slightly unrelated manner, the sniper was between the martial artist and Kuroko in the mansion, but after the martial artist the second one to arrive was Kuroko. The sniper was the one to watch Hinako tumble down the dust shoot, which is probably why she instead went to look for a dust shoot instead of a door, and followed suit to disappear in the line-up. Chronologically, that would make sense too. And she had to watch Hinako through her scope to learn how to disable the trap.
