"Aren't those two people on the right Mr. Kato and Ms. Katagiri?"

"Really! So the three of them knew each other before."

Looking at the photos in their hands, Conan and Hattori couldn't help but feel a sense of doubt, and then other questions arose.

Was their trip together premeditated? If so, what was the purpose? Why did the killer specifically target both of them?

Countless questions flooded their minds, but at this moment, they had no clues or direction for their investigation.

"But who are the other three people?" Officer Otaki asked.

At this moment, the rest of the tour group came to their side, and looked at the photo in Officer Otaki's hand with a surprised expression.

"This person is Mr. Hirano."

"Look, this is it." The man pointed to a tall, imposing man in the photo.

"That's right, he was very young back then, but this is definitely him."

"May I ask who this Mr. Hirano is?"

Asakawa Yu asked, wanting to see if Hattori Heizo's plan was as he had imagined. To verify this idea, his long-dormant desire to investigate the case resurfaced once again.

"You mean Hirano? Actually, he was the one who planned this trip."

"We met in an online chat room, and he was the one who planned this historical trip for us friends."

"Even this role-playing game was his idea."

"It's a pity that Hirano couldn't come. He suddenly said that there was an emergency at home before he left."

The three of them took turns telling the whole story about Hirano, and judging from their expressions, they were indeed not lying.

After that, the three of them left the crime scene under the pretext of going back to check the so-called Golden King's website, and prepared to leave in the direction of the hotel.

"Hey Kudo, tell me, how exactly was Katagiri-san murdered? I just can't figure out how the killer could control her to struggle a few times by the bridge after killing her, and then make her fall off the bridge?"

"And what's even stranger is the bloodstain near Ms. Katagiri's right breast," Conan added, expressing his own doubts.

"Brother Asakawa, do you know how he did it?" Left with no other choice, Conan finally decided to ask Asakawa Yu for his thoughts. Maybe he already knew, but just didn't say it, just like the previous times.

After all, Asakawa Yu has a criminal record, and if they don't ask, she probably won't tell them at all.

"Yeah, boss, judging from your expression just now, you must have found out something, right?" Faced with his girlfriend's question, Asakawa Yu shrugged.

"I do have some ideas, but I want to tell you that this matter is beyond your capabilities. It's best to just hand it over to the police."

Upon hearing Asakawa Yu's words, Conan and Hattori immediately objected and quickly said, "How can we just leave it like this!"

Just then, after Hattori's shout, Asakawa Yu immediately gave him a cold look, his icy gaze as sharp as ice, which startled Hattori into changing his tone instantly.

"I... I mean, how can we just let the murderer get away with it? At the very least, we need to find the murderer so we can notify the police."

Seeing Hattori back down, Akemi, who was hiding behind Asakawa Yu, covered her mouth and laughed gleefully.

[This is hilarious! It's exactly the same as when he was facing his dad just now, hahaha!]

No, it's different. His dad might have hit him for his own good, but Asakawa Yu really doesn't hold back.

Indeed, there's always someone better.

"Alright, it's really nothing. Think about it carefully. If the murderer wanted others to see Ms. Katagiri set herself on fire, but also didn't want to be discovered, what was the only way they could have done it?"

Reminded by Asakawa Yu, Conan and Hattori immediately began to think.

What if the murderer staged the whole thing?

!!!

Wow! ! !

In an instant, a white light flashed through Hattori and Conan's minds, and countless thoughts rushed in, instantly clearing their minds.

"I understand!"
