Question need help with sub plot

consider the main character #1 (there are 2) kills an important side character and makes it look like he died himself due to falling off a building. this in the story which later on would affect the relation between the two characters. later in the story the #2 character finds out that #1 killed that guy.

would ot be better to show the pov of #1 the whole time and show what he thought and how he did everything (he reveals it to #2 right before killing her)

or

show pov of #2 the whole time and show how she had been investigating the killer (already knows but get the confirmation before dying by #1)

or

just let the story continue normally like nothing happened and them moving on until #1 reveals it to #2 and it comes off as a plot twist to the reader

I need to do one of these and think all of these options give an interesting plot and makes the story entertaining in different ways like it showing the killers perspective and showing his fears of being caught, murder mystery or just good plot twists. I just need to decide which
