I definitely feel like Saiko is headed in that direction. From early on, she's been the one to question the CCG's ideology. She recognized the kindness of ghouls, and expressed misgivings about their mission.

Now, she's being pushed to kill someone that saved her life. She tried to resolve things in the same manner she saw Sasaki deal with things. Remember.....she may be the only know that knows that he lied about capturing Hinami. She was there in the auditorium, she saw the whole fight and knows Hinami was there to save him.

One thing to keep in mind while reading this is Japanese culture. In Japan, there is the idea of central aspects of morality. One of these is On (恩), the idea of repaying your debts to others. She owes Amon her life, which is an enormous thing. When you see in Japanese media someone swearing loyalty to someone over a debt, that's where On comes into play.

So Urie is telling her to disregard this, and kill someone she owes a huge debt to. He's doing it by throwing her duty as an Investigator into her face. (Another major thing in Japanese culture -- duty to family or employer.)
