Matsutani Jōichi and Motoki Mayumi were taken away by the Kanagawa police for separate interrogation.

At the same time, for the sake of rigor.

After the police confirmed that the mask of the Kamen Rider who killed Kenji Furusawa did contain the ingredients of the bathing agent sold by Kosen-an,

they investigated all the guests living on the second floor.

Among them were tourists who also bought bathing agents.

But as Conan said, people buy bathing agents either to give to others or to relive the hot springs of Kosen-an in their own bathtubs after returning home from the trip.

No one would use Kosen-an's bathing agent in Kosen-an's room.

Therefore, Matsutani Jōichi's suspicion of committing the crime was basically confirmed.

At the same time, the police from the forensic department checked the suitcase used to dump the body, but did not find any fingerprints on it.

Among the three suspects, only Motoki Mayumi's suitcase was large enough to fit another suitcase.

In addition, Akikawa Sosuke's initial confession showed that Motoki Mayumi knew Matsutani Jōichi.

So the police also identified Motoki Mayumi as Matsutani Jōichi's accomplice in killing Kenji Furusawa.

Akikawa Sosuke knew.

Since Motoki Mayumi would show a disgusted reaction when others talked about Kenji Furusawa.

Then the police would definitely find clues when investigating Motoki Mayumi's interpersonal relationships later.

Not to mention, under the police's "prisoner's dilemma" interrogation, the prisoners would basically identify each other.

"Speaking of which, Kudo-kun, don't you follow and listen to the police interrogating the prisoners?"

Huihara Ai whispered to Conan.

"How could the police let me, a child, go to listen?"

Conan asked helplessly.

"Oh, but why do I remember that the famous high school detective Kudo Shinichi was treated as an observer in the interrogation?"

"Even so, that was the treatment of 'Kudo Shinichi', not 'Edogawa Conan'."

"Besides, no matter what the murderer's reasons are, he will not change the fact that he kills people."

"When he chooses to solve the problem by killing people, things have already become irreversible."

Conan said.

Just as Conan and Haibara Ai were whispering, Akikawa Sosuke, who had been cleared of suspicion, finally got rid of the police surveillance and walked towards the two.

Habara Ai, who noticed someone approaching, quickly shut up and turned to look at Akikawa Sosuke who was walking towards him.

"Conan, is the little brother who was taken away by the ambulance okay?"

Akikawa Sosuke asked.

"It should be fine. The concentration of hydrogen sulfide in the mask of Kamen Rider is not very high, so Genta should have just fainted temporarily."

"Is that so? I thought the problem was serious!"

Akikawa Sosuke showed a surprised look.

He acted as if he heard that a person who should have died suddenly resurrected.

"Haha, thank you for your concern, brother Akikawa."

Conan thanked Akikawa Sosuke in a childish tone.

Habara Ai silently watched Akikawa Sosuke in front of her.

She listened to the conversation between Akikawa Sosuke and Conan, and was a little surprised that Conan knew Akikawa Sosuke.

At the same time, Haibara Ai felt that the chestnut-haired artist in front of her looked familiar.

But she never found the source of the familiarity in her heart.

Habara Ai had a good memory, and she was sure that she had no impression of the surname "Akikawa".

After thinking for a while, Ai Huihara asked:

"Excuse me, why didn't you take off your mask during the performance?"

"Huh?"

Conan and Akikawa Sosuke were both surprised by Ai Huihara's words.

"When Kamen Rider stretched out his hand to the evil mask, you should have taken off your mask, right?"

"And I also saw that the actor of Kamen Rider seemed to be puzzled because you didn't take off your mask."

Akikawa Sosuke looked at the little loli in front of him who looked a bit like Sera Masumi, and asked puzzledly:

"Excuse me, who are you?"

"My name is Ai Huihara, just an ordinary elementary school student."

'Ai Huihara? ! '

After hearing the name "Ai Huihara", Sosuke Akikawa suddenly remembered.

'No wonder the girl's speech didn't match her image as a child. It turned out that she was the one with the same situation as the Shinigami elementary school student. '

Akikawa Sosuke had some impression of Ai Huihara.

However, the extent of his understanding was limited to the fact that this person, who looked like Conan, also had a mature soul under the appearance of a child.

Hearing Huiyuan Ai's doubts, Akikawa Sosuke hesitated and spoke:

"Because I always feel that meeting Conan-kun is not a good thing, so..."

Akikawa Sosuke didn't finish his words.

He seemed to realize that his remarks were a bit rude, so he quickly found an excuse to run away.

Conan: "????"

Conan was immediately full of question marks when he heard this.

And Huiyuan Ai suddenly laughed out loud after Akikawa Sosuke left.

It seems that more than one person has the same idea as him.

Wherever this disaster star goes, people will die.

"Huiyuan, have you laughed enough?"

Conan, who was confused by Akikawa Sosuke's remarks, said helplessly to Haibara Ai, who was holding her belly and laughing non-stop.

"Kudo-kun, what's wrong with you? Why are you disliked by that artist like this?"

"What happened between you?"

Haiyara Ai asked curiously.

Conan thought for a while, then said:

"In addition to this time, I have experienced at least four or five cases with that Akikawa, and he is almost the victim every time."

"In this case, it's not surprising that you are disliked by that Akikawa."

"Normal people who encounter so many unlucky things must avoid you."

Haiyara Ai said to Conan speechlessly.

"What does it have to do with me! It's just that Akikawa's unlucky constitution is full, okay?"

Conan was very dissatisfied with Haibara Ai's statement.

"You mean, like Maori Kogoro?" Haibara Ai asked.

"No, at least when Uncle Kogoro's calamity physique strikes, most of the time it's others who suffer."

"This Akikawa seems to be a self-contained sarcasm. He is so weak that he has no ability to harm others, but it seems that every criminal wants to kill him when he sees him."

"He almost died several times."

"Huh?!"

When Haibara Ai heard this, she also showed a little surprise on her face.

She thought that Akikawa Sousuke was just unlucky and was involved in several incidents by Conan.

But she didn't expect it to be so serious.

"Kudo-kun, if coincidences happen too many times, it may not be a coincidence."

Haibara Ai's face became serious and reminded Conan.

'As expected of cousins, they have similar ideas. ’

Conan complained about Haibara Ai who had the same idea as Sera Masumi in his heart, and then said:

“Even though I said that, as a detective, wouldn’t I encounter more coincidences?”

“Oh~?”

Hearing this, Haibara Ai suddenly raised her voice slightly.

“So, Kudo-kun, are you admitting that you are the god of death?”
