Heiji barely hesitated; he wouldn't have stopped anyone from trying to find out who killed Akiko, of course, and Snake seemed pretty sharp. That he'd be an asset in figuring this out was a given. "Sure. Far as I know there ain't anything wrong with your brain. I'll tell ya what I know so far."
"Akiko's body sustained severe trauma and burns to the left arm and left skull. The damage was consistent with a small, extremely concentrated explosion that had left her right eye almost untouched. The wounds from the blast caused massive exsanguination, which would've killed her quickly even if the damage to her head hadn't.
Upon further examination of the blood spatter and pattern of tissue damage, it's clear that it was a single explosion that damaged both her arm and skull. The blast locus was her left wrist. Judging from her close proximity to the warehouse doors, it's easy to deduce her actions during the last few moments before her death.
Finding herself confined in the cafeteria, Akiko attempted to escape. She knew the rules about trying to get in without the required 9 BP. When she couldn't force the doors open herself, she pounded on them with her fist, trying to let us know that she was trapped inside. During that time, the explosive went off... and took her wrist and head with it.
This is all consistent with Calhoun's security footage, which shows the murderer pushing Akiko inside and her tryin' to escape. But due to poor video quality and the angle, it was impossible to distinguish anything about the killer besides the hand they used to shove her in.
Questioning Calhoun revealed that in addition to Soporil and Tubocurarine, the BP bracelets also contain compact explosives, which are reserved to deal with uncooperative subjects if the drugs prove insufficient. He confirmed that the explosives go off when the wearer of a bracelet enters a restricted area without permission."
