The Kindaichi Case Files

In this tournament, he was in great shape after a few years of slump, and defeated Funaki , who was said to be a favorite for the championship. However, Funaki finds out about the "injustice" he was doing, and after an argument, he beats Funaki to death. At first, Goldman was flustered, but when he saw the chess board, he suddenly came up with an alibi trick. It was to create a fake alibi that he was playing chess at the time of the murder by reproducing the game record on the chessboard that was in Funaki's room during his own game. And because his chess opponents were inferior, Goldman managed to fabricate an alibi. However, Akechi becomes suspicious of Goldman because of the dying message Funaki leaves behind, which says "upside-down pawn," and the room service that Funaki asks for.
Because He's not familiar with Japan, He do not know Japanese cuisine, and his hotel restaurant does not serve Japanese cuisine. He also makes some remarks that look down on the Japanese, such as calling them the monkeys of the island nation of the Orient.
He's later revealed that he was cheating at the chess tournament.
Taking advantage of the fact that the venue of the chess tournament was in front of Goldman's hotel and that it was being televised, he recreated the movement of Goldman's pieces in the light of his hotel room and played the game instead of himself. He was making the computer play chess. As a result, Goldman played mainly at night, when the lights in the cabin could be seen. His dishonest purpose was money, and it was because his hotel was in the red. He was in a slump. He had low odds of winning a chess tournament and expected good odds if he won
.However, Funaki found out about his cheating and killed him before he could be accused by the chess federation. This time, before Akechi sees the "upside-down pawn" dying message left by Funaki, he is suspicious of Funaki's behavior of "eat slowly later" even though he ordered "soba" from room service.
In addition, the dying message of "upside-down pawn" left by Funaki cannot be associated with the word "gold", and he is ignorant of shogi and not familiar with Japan (he does not even know soba, which is a relatively well-known Japanese food). ) found out that the foreigner was the culprit. And he was unfamiliar with Japan and doubted Goldman as someone who fit the "upside-down pawn" dying message.
Goldman admits to wrongdoing but refuses to admit to murder, but Funaki's room service is the decisive factor. The food ordered by Funaki's room service was "soba", but the hotel staff had mistakenly brought onogiri. The culprit, Goldman, who was present at the scene, misunderstood the "onigiri" as "soba" when he checked the contents, and by exposing the mistake himself, he proved himself to be the culprit.
He also lost the chess match to Akechi, and when Akechi asked if he knew about the injustice and deliberately let him lose, Akechi said that he was interested in the computer that defeated Funaki, and played the game as it was and won.
Originally, Goldman fell into a slump when the opponent who defeated him in the match lost to the computer, realizing the powerlessness that humans cannot win against computers. Therefore, this time Akechi beat the computer, and he was arrested with a satisfied smile, saying that he was able to break through a bit. At the end of the anime version, Akechi said, "I want to compete with my strength when I come back someday," but he declined, saying, "I can escape the curse of chess."

However, contrary to his cold tone, he helped him escape from the scene of Katsura's murder by making him wear the staff jumper he had prepared, and handed him a bunch of photos taken on the day of Tachibana's murder to help him with his reasoning.

He was slowly turned hostile and downright delusional after being accused of being the culprit by Chris Einstein due to the fact that he's the one who performed the autopsy and could possibly gives the wrong death time estimate and the only person who doesn't have solid alibi.

After saying that, he is killed by the culprit who appears to keep his mouth shut.
When Kakimoto was murdered, even if it wasn't enough to clear Yaogi's suspicions, Kindaichi has a certain amount of trust, probably because he defended himself and proved that he didn't make a false appraisal.

The Kindaichi Case Files

Born in Saitama Prefecture, he became a police officer after graduating from Tohoku University and was assigned to the Aomori Prefectural Police.
Tawarada works for the Aomori Prefectural Police Department Criminal Investigation Division 1 and has the rank of inspector. He was a detective when he first appeared in Western-style Village Murder Case , but at the time of the grand finale of Young Kindaichi's Trip of Death Preparedness , he is said to have been promoted to inspector. However, he was already promoted at an earlier stage, and when he appeared in Western-style Hotel Murder Case , he was called "Inspector Tawarada" by his subordinate police officers, though this could likely be an error by the writers.
His blood type is O and his zodiac sign is Cancer. He is married and has two children.

At first he doesn't believe in Kindaichi's abilities and Kindaichi has to contact Inspector Kenmochi to get him to share information. In Western-style Village Murder Case , when Isshiki was killed, he tried to arrest Kusanagi , who was arguing about the cat, but was refuted by Kindaichi, stating that an old woman couldn't possibly carry an overweight man. He then stated that Kiriko is the killer. However, this is also dismissed as Kiriko has no motive to kill Isshiki. After being yelled at by Kenmochi on the phone, he reluctantly cooperates with Kindaichi.
Although hard working and has a serious personality, he also has a hot-blooded side, so his type is very similar to Kenmochi in his debut.

At first, he was annoyed by Kindaichi's intervention in the investigation, but when the case was solved by Kindaichi's deduction, he changed his mind, and since then he has come to respect his deduction. Perhaps because he is a hot-blooded man, he has a short-sighted side. When he pointed that out, he countered that there was an accomplice, but the old woman and the person who thought he was an accomplice ended up being killed by the real culprit. However, it doesn't seem that he has any reasoning powers, and as an extra, in the mystery quiz book "Mystery Solving File 2", he found out the arson trick used by the criminal and led to the solution of the case. In fact, he is a heavy drinker, and it seems that he can drink about 1 sho of sake lightly.
His second appearance is in the Western-style Hotel Murder Case , where he appears to have changed his mind after the resolution of the previous case. When the Aprodia Theater Group receives a threatening letter, he calls Kindaichi to ask him for his assistance.
He appeared again in Murderous Intention Under Freezing 15 Degrees , in which he's in charge of the case. He's told by the victim that his injury is not from an attempted murder, but an accident.

He appears in Young Kindaichi's Trip of Death Preparedness along with Kyoko Kaya , Masasuke Inokawa and Shigeru Nagashima . He told Kindaichi that he's been promoted at some point before the grand finale.
His latest appearance is in Human-Eater Laboratory Murder Case , in which he give Kindaichi a stamp of approval to investigate.

At first she was not fluent in Japanese , but later she became fluent over time. Moreover, she is suspected of being the killer by Makime and Takigawa and is about to be tortured because she looks just like Elizabeth, the previous owner of the castle from four centuries prior. Although the fact she's indeed Elizabeth Friedrich's descendant is cut in the anime version, she is indeed a descendant of Elizabeth in the drama version.
In many ways, it can be said that she is the most suspicious person due to the many suspicious depictions that hint at her connection with Elisabeth Friedrich, the former lord of the Balt Castle, who is said to have committed a bizarre murders.
However, in the Kindaichi series, there is an easy to understand rule that  "A person who is clearly shady and suspicious is not the culprit '', with several exceptions.
In the middle of the story, she is imprisoned by Makime and Takigawa, who suspect her. They thought that she lived in Japan for a long time, as she was fluent in Japanese later in the story and was planning a murder in Japan. It is likely that Makime and Takigawa only plan to threat her to confess.
Immediately after the real culprit is discovered, she guides the group to the front of the wall decorated with a painting by Elizabeth Friedrich, near the fireplace in the dining room, which was designed to be perfectly fireproof to escape the fire that was set on the castle.

According to her, the fire prevention design around the fireplace was made based on careful calculations so that the people of the castle could survive even if it was set on fire, a secret that has been handed down from generation to generation to the Friedrich family, the lords of Balt Castle. It is said that it was from this, it seems that there is no doubt that she is a member of the Friedrich family, but when Superintendent Akechi later inquired with the German police, the surprising fact was revealed that "there is no such medical examiner." . After all, her true identity remained unknown until the very end. That said, her examination of Toma's corpse and the knowledge she showed her were extremely precise and accurate, so it's questionable to think that her title is a complete lie.

At the beginning of the story, she is about to be killed by a Burial Silver Coin.
She's later revealed as the true culprit of this case.

She also had a bad behavior like Masumi, and nine years ago, when she was a model, she was attacked by Akio, a former bad friend who knew of her existence, and impulsively killed her in self-defense. . She considered surrendering herself to the police, but in the end she decided to throw her corpse out of fear that her success would be ruined for the sake of the scumbag Akio.

Naoko, who heard Yurie telling Inukai that she was going to hand over the company, thought she had been betrayed by Yurie. To make matters worse, she was summoned by Inukai, who told her, " If I become president, I will make Sayoko, her mistress, the chief designer, and Naoko will get rid of her." Hatred becomes decisive.
Naoko thought, ``Yurie is using me as much as she wants to use me and is going to throw it away like garbage.'' was used to cause this incident.  In fact, it was Naoko who pushed Hiroshi to Masumi.
Hiroshi was still alive when Masumi hit him, but while Masumi was out to buy a carry-on bag, he broke into his room and finished him unconscious (by the way, It's unknown how she got into Masumi's room.) Knowing everything about her psychological state, she deliberately manipulates the actions she should take, and carries out her murderous play without getting her own hands dirty. Criminals using psychological tricks.
Furthermore, when she kills one of her targets, Rokujou, she also puts up a clever line of defense by pretending that her life is being targeted and avoiding being a suspect. However, she is deceived by the information that "Yurie saved her life and entered the intensive care unit", and is stopped by Kindaichi when he comes to finish her off.
Still, she refused to admit her guilt, but when she stole a floppy containing the physical measurement data of a "Kimisawa" employee used to make a death costume for the target in the murder, she I stole the "to" floppy with no name and left the "ka" floppy with the actual data .

If Naoko had used her computer to check the contents and checked the floppies other than "To", it would have been a irreversible mistake. Because of this, there is no one other than her who can know Naoko's data. She thought of stealing all the floppies, but if he did that, he would use the fact that there were no floppies with the character "ki" to " bring Yurie Kimisawa the scene of Sayoko Kiriyama". It is assumed that she did not take it because it would make things difficult.

The Kindaichi Case Files

Riku Busujima's family ran a small medical equipment company. He would deliver orders to Tamaki's family's hospital, and that was how he knew Tamaki and Uozaki . The two would often bother him with their whims, and he would always end up taking the blame for their troubles.
Busujima's father had lent him an apartment to study, since their house was a factory. One afternoon, Tamaki and Uozaki went to Busujima and tried to get his apartment keys. They drove him to a corner, and he had to give in. Fed up with his position, Busujima decided to study hard to get into medical school, and become able to support his father's work. He studied at a coffee shop, and there he met Marina Togami, a waitress. She was the only person who saw his hardwork and dedication. Soon, the two became good friends. Unfortunately, Tamaki and Uozaki came to know about Marina and their friendship. After that, Marina stopped going to school and disappeared from work. Busujima initially thought she was ill, but she had not been at home either. It was only a month later that Busujima found out the truth. He somehow remembered Tamaki asking for his apartment keys, and he immediately went there. He went up to the door, but Tamaki said that they knew nothing about Marina's whereabouts. As he was about to leave, Busujima, to his horror, saw Marina jump out the window. She fell to her death. She had been tortured and starved by Tamaki and Uozaki, and when she could not take it anymore, she took the drastic step. Realizing that she died, Busujima snapped at her tormentors. However, Tamaki managed to talk his way out of it, saying that it was Busujima's apartment where they had committed the crime. Busujima already had a bad reputation because of the two, and so nobody would believe his innocence. He was dumbstruck. Soon, he found himself helping them again, burying Marina and covering up what had happened. Tamaki got him take all the blame for what they had done to Marina, promising that his father would clear Busujima's family's debts. Because of the police found Marina grasping on to a small angel figurine given to her by him, Busujima came to believe that Marina believed him to be one of the perpretors even in the end, and resigned to Tamaki's request.
Later on, after Busujima's 'confession' to the police, Tamaki went away to America, and his father stopped dealing with the Busujima family. The company went bankrupt and his father vanished.

The Kindaichi Case Files

His true identity is one of the descendants of Kaneharu Hiiragi (his surname is also an anagram of Hiiragi → Kinfuyu → Fuyuki).
18 years ago, at the hospital where he was enrolled as an intern, he happened to witness Shino's baby being replaced, but he acquiesced to it after hearing from her mother about her ancestors' regrets. *1 However, he didn't want such a tragedy, and he tacitly approved of Shino's actions because ``If Ryunosuke grows up and inherits the family headship, the Tatsumi family's orthodox line of succession will be discontinued. (It is possible to drop the original bloodline of the Tatsumi family to commoners without dirtying one's own hands)." If he had stopped Shino at this time, this incident might not have happened. There is an atmosphere that he himself was in love with Shino, which makes it even more sad. Even when Kindaichi pointed it out, he said, "I didn't mean to do that..." and broke down in tears because of the regret that he had become the remote cause that drove Shino to commit murder.

He was one of the few allies of Shino and Seimaru in Kuchinashi Village, and in the case of Akanuma, he advised Shino to give Seimaru a large amount of money, considering Seimaru's future.
When Hajime and Miyuki were kidnapped by a head hunter, he told Kenmochi about the origin of the head hunter.

Rokuro Yamashina is a short middle-aged police detective in plain clothes. As opposed to other officers, his necktie isn't plain, but dotted with stars. He has laid-back short black hair, with some some hair turning white, and has small thick eyebrows. His face is long and shallow, with a pronounced forehead, and he has small eyes.


The Kindaichi Case Files

He has neat short hair, glasses that rarely shows his eyes and a hard expression that makes it difficult to read his emotions.

He is an excellent lawyer, and he was the one who had Busujima's sentences reduced. He was employed by Tamaki's father and also acted as his bodyguard.
In fact, he was vulnerable due to his daughter's illness, and was covering up Busujima's accusation by protecting Tamaki and his daughter (Her daughter died without receiving treatment.)
Perhaps because of her disappointment that she was not saved as a result, he left the truth of Busujima untouched. However, there is no evidence that Busujima's accusation is true other than the recording function of the strap, which both the police and Busujima overlooked, and Komori was unaware of it.
Even if Komori had sent Kenmochi a letter accusing him of the truth, the situation wouldn't have changed unless Kenmochi realized the recording function of the strap, or if Tamaki and Uozaki didn't speak out the truth.
Even if Kenmochi read the letter sent, it would be normal to see that the guilty culprits were still blaming each other in an ugly manner. (Kindaichi says that if the letter had been delivered to Inspector Kenmochi, he would have searched desperately for it again.) Moreover, the letter containing the truth that Busujima knew was nothing but an accusation against Tamaki itself.
Selling a client, no matter how gullible, is illegal as a lawyer. (Not a moral issue, but an illegal act ). The conclusion that neither of them had rehabilitated at all is heavy, but it must be noted that Komori's position as a lawyer was also at a standstill.
However, since he is also Busujima's client, this is no different than selling the client for his own personal gain. He didn't tell Busujima that he couldn't hand over the letter to the police because of his position, and it can't be said that the act of covering up the letter was right.


The Kindaichi Case Files

He has a scar on his forehead, but he doesn't say what caused it (likely due to a past accident).


The Kindaichi Case Files

The culprit of this case is the "seventh mummy". However, the name "Susumu Odagiri" is a pseudonym, and his real name is " Ryuichi Rokusei " ("Ryuichi Kanzaki" in the drama).
The only son of Shiori Rokusei , the only daughter who was lucky enough to survive in the murder of a pastor couple and seven adopted daughters (hereafter referred to as the Mutsuhoshi Family Murder Incident) that occurred in Western-style Village 27 years ago. Although she survived, his mother was declared dead on the family register, so she could not find a decent job, and Ryuichi was brought up in extreme poverty with a feeling of vomiting blood.
In order to take revenge on him, his mother taught him various martial arts and murder techniques . It has become a cold-blooded killing machine that thinks, "I'm with you ." After researching Western-style village's mummies, topography, customs, etc., Rokusei kills the real Susumu Odagiri and pretends to be him to take advantage of Wakaba, the only daughter of the owner of "Clock House", and comes to Fudo High School. .
Then, he got close to Wakaba and was dating while planning an opportunity for revenge. Originally, he planned to wait for Wakaba's marriage/ graduation before committing the murder, but since the real corpse was found earlier than planned, he took a secret meeting photo with Wakaba himself and released it.
Forced to transfer to a local school, he forced Wakaba into her early marriage and put his plan into action before his true identity was revealed.
In terms of "artistic murder", he has something in common with Yoichi Takato later, but while he emphasizes "unexpectedness" and "sophistication of tricks", in his case, "brutalism" and "There is a section that is particular about "decoration of the murder scene".
After succeeding in the alibi trick at the church, he calmly and brutally committed murders, but first, he committed the crime after noticing an unnatural point in the secret meeting photo that triggered Wakaba's expulsion from school. exposed. Wakaba didn't seem to notice the camera at all, while Odagiri (Rokusei) was looking straight at the camera.
The real Odagiri's death was also made public, and despite the fact that he thought he had given up on it, he revealed his terrifying true nature, defeated two police officers using martial arts, and after the location was the "Kazamidori no Yakata", the hunting gun was displayed. , taking Miyuki hostage and revealing the cursed life of their parent and child, before shooting their final target, Kabuto.
After that, he escapes to the cannabis field with Miyuki as a hostage, and tries to burn down the cannabis field as a final touch. Kazamatsuri gets shot. Even though he realized why her mother said, "Don't kill Kazamatsuri," the truth was too heavy for Rokusei to believe, shedding tears and dying.
It is said that he was brought up through the frantic efforts of his mother, who had been treated as dead and had no family register, but in that environment he learned murder techniques and martial arts to the point where he could defeat two police officers in an instant, and even had a proper education. From the point that he was able to pretend to be a teacher even though he would not have been able to pass the exam , there is no doubt that he was an outrageous genius . It is true that the victim is trash, but he is the most dangerous person in the work , along with Tono , because he has learned various murder techniques and kills unrelated people .
Moreover, even after the mystery has been solved,

Taking Miyuki as a hostage, he continues to take control of the scene, and kills the final target, Kabuto , in front of Aomori police. As a final touch, he went to the point of burning the cannabis field, and in the end (although in hindsight) Kazamatsuri took over his will and completed it. In the process, he easily defeats Renjou, who came to interfere, and seriously injures Kindaichi.

It is also a criminal who showed a rampage equal to a win-and-run that is unparalleled in the series, and there is a strong voice that he is the strongest criminal in the history of Kindaichi, combined with a part of the ability he showed in the work.
Regarding Miyuki, who was taken hostage at the end and taken to the cannabis field, it is unknown what he would have done if he had succeeded in burning the cannabis field without anyone coming. If he burns the fields, there will be no more use for him, but there will be no reason to kill her, and if, as he said, "I didn't feel like running away", then there's no need to kill unrelated Miyuki after all his goals have already been fulfilled. If she hadn't interfered, it's possible that Miyuki would have left him alone and committed suicide on the spot.
It seems that he truly loved Wakaba, and although he threw away the parts cut from the other victims' bodies like garbage, he buried her head with dignity and even built a small grave.

Before the revelation of him being the culprit, Rokusei as Susumu Odagiri is portrayed as a timid and overly emotional man. After being exposed as the culprit, he's shown to be a full on psychopath who has no problem with mutilating his victims in a very gruesome way.

The Kindaichi Case Files

He was Shino's lover, but when she got pregnant, he abandoned her and disappeared (in the drama version, he was arrested for some crime), and at that time, he had a momentary near miss with Kenmochi). , when she becomes the second wife of the Tatsumi family, he also becomes a servant.
It was speculated that he could escape from the room where the incident occurred by escaping from between the iron bars that only one can come off due to his small stature, and using his former acrobat skill to pass the rope over the cliff, but in reality, he was a tightrope walker when he was an acrobat. caused a fall accident, and since then has fallen into acrophobia .
His fear was so severe that he could only climb up to the second or third step, let alone the top step, when pruning plants. Recalling that he used high branch shears to cut branches within reach, he realized that, and saw that the trick was impossible for Saruhiko, in other words, the theory that Saruhiko was the culprit was a disguise. (From Shino's point of view, it was out of the question that she was given a fake trick that could be done because she was a former acrobat Saruhiko, but it was out of the question that her fear of heights made it impossible ) . And he became a servant in order to trick her about his past relationship and pester her for money.
After being informed by Shino that Ryunosuke is her child, he joins Shino's plan and plots to take control of the Tatsumi family.
After the crime was exposed by Kenmochi, he pretended to agree with Shino, who joined him during the escape, and tried to kill Shino by blaming him for all the crimes, but Shino read his thoughts. Only himself died from using a lead-filled hunting rifle. He was said to be ``a descendant of the Hiiragi family and committed suicide after committing a crime to avenge his ancestors''.
The story that he was a descendant of Kaneharu Hiiragi was just a fabrication, and Shino just left the related items behind to make him think so and create a motive.
The reason why Miyuki was kidnapped is that if Seimaru's corpse is taken out, DNA analysis will reveal that he is not Shino's child, and if he hides it, he will be treated as a missing person, and Ryunosuke will never be the head of the family. Therefore, she took the means of having a third party testify as "a method of confirming only the death without Seimaru's corpse being found." Miyuki, who had no interest in the Tatsumi family, had the trust of the police, and was weak and easy to kidnap, was the perfect "witness".
When he kidnapped Miyuki in order to make her a "witness" of Seimaru's death, he hit the nape of her neck with a sword , but in reality, it's a dangerous act that could kill him enough (moreover, If he shadn't fainted when she was shown Seimaru's severed head, she would have been hit once more).

However, aside from being the target of murder, Shino may have been the same sex as Miyuki because he didn't hesitate to aim for "when a young woman is in her underwear" to kidnap a mere witness.
It should be noted that Shino and Saruhiko had not planned for Miyuki to accompany Kenmochi and Hajime to the village, so it remains a mystery as to who was originally going to be the witness. Other than Miyuki, Tamaki and Fuyuki are suitable.
Among these four, Tamaki is weak and easy to handle, but  Miyuki is irregular and has less relationship with the Tatsumi family. If that's the case, it would make sense to think that Miyuki, a woman, would be more suitable for the job, and that the change had been made in a hurry.

It seems that he took care of Itsuki when he was just starting out as a freelance writer. He has a reputation for making quality documentaries. He has always acknowledged his skill.
However, he negotiated with Tachibana for money to get the manuscript, but was refused, and when he was kicked out of the room.
After the incident, Tsuzuki cooperated, helped Kindaichi, who was being chased by the police, and hid him in his house, and brought information that a " big time superintendent ( Akechi )" was coming from the Metropolitan Police Department to catch him.
In the drama version (Domoto version), for some reason, the reading is changed to "tsuzuku".
He's later revealed to be the culprit of this incident is the "Invisible Enemy".
Itsuki trusted him as an excellent director, but the reason he committed a crime was because of his young daughter, Mizuho , who suffered from severe kidney failure.
Tsuzuki donates one of his own kidneys to treat his kidney failure, but fails due to a hospital error. While receiving outpatient treatment, Mizuho ends up waiting for a donor who is said to be a match for only 1 in 10,000 people other than her relatives. (He was given a gift of condolence money, but there is a depiction of him knocking down an envelope containing a wad of bills while saying, " This is what it is.") In reaction to the loneliness of losing his wife, he devoted himself to work, and his daughter needed a kidney transplant. Tsuzuki feels guilty that he didn't notice until he was in a state where he was in a state of guilt, and a doctor named Maeda appeared in front of him.
Maeda says he will do everything in his power to get a kidney that fits Mizuho, but in exchange, he proposes that he commit a devilish crime to Tsuzuki. It was a smuggling of organs using his title as a TV station director. Although Tsuzuki knew this was unforgivable, he couldn't stop trying to get a kidney that would fit Mizuho. However, a turning point comes to him. Goryu Tachibana discovers Maeda and Tsuzuki's crimes and tries to publish them in a book with his real names. Naturally, Tsuzuki tried to stop him, but his repeated attempts to persuade him failed, and he was enraged by Tachibana's high-handed attitude, who unilaterally called him a "social evil" without asking the circumstances, and impulsively killed him.
After that, when he left Tachibana's room, he didn't go through the ground, but passed through the door that was wide open in advance and crossed to the other bank. There was a closed door on the way, so I pretended to be Tachibana and called Kiku-san to open it. He then left the scene through a wide open door without leaving any footprints .
After killing Tachibana, in order to obtain a manuscript with his name written on it, he pretended to be a collaborator and blamed Kindaichi. Killed one after another so that it could not be traced, and realized the true meaning of the message game when killing Nonaka.
However, because he killed Nonaka, the last person in the message game, he realizes that the names of the victims will ironically appear in the newspapers the next morning in the order in which they were killed . If things continue as they are, the serial murders will become a hot topic as a mysterious case involving Tachibana's code, and the next day the reader will realize the true meaning of the code, and the possibility that someone will find the manuscript will emerge. . Therefore, he had no choice but to go get the manuscript the same day he killed Nonaka.
So, taking advantage of the fact that the security of the villa was lifted because Kindaichi was shot by Akechi, he invaded in the middle of the night. However, the one who was shot was a blank shot that he had arranged with Akechi to deceive the criminal, and it was also read that he would invade that day, so the police, Kenmochi and Nagashima who were waiting for him. He was seized.
Even though he was arrested and his identity was exposed, he still said from the footprints in the mud that Kindaichi was the culprit, and even after his trick of leaving without leaving any traces was exposed, he said, "Even if this is true, anyone, including Kindaichi. It's nothing more than proof that he was able to kill Tachibana."
Even after being shoved with a piece of the lens of the glasses that had fallen at the scene, he said, "I'm not the only one wearing glasses. Even Hariu there." Even if it is pointed out, he insists that he changed it according to his mood, but from the video taken by Ryuji, he was wearing glasses for near-sightedness before the incident, and reading glasses for farsightedness after the incident. turned out, After being asked to switch between two types of glasses with completely different purposes ,he finally came to my senses. He pleaded guilty to all sins.
At the end, he stabbed himself with a knife to transplant his other kidney to Mizuho, and apologized to Hajime for getting involved even though it was unrelated, and said, ``If I can become a part of my daughter's body, I'm not afraid to die. '' he said, taking a deep breath.
Tsuzuki's kidney was safely transplanted to Mizuho by quickly transporting it using a police helicopter under the direction of Akechi, who understood his determination.

The Kindaichi Case Files

She is on the verge of expulsion from a secret meeting photo, but she has a quick wit and cancels her expulsion. However, she was eventually called back to her parents' home, and she decided to marry Hisahiko Renjo . On the verge of returning to her hometown, she gives Miyuki her "pendant in the shape of her family crest" and sheds her tears. In her parents' house, she behaved gracefully because of her daughter. (Hajime compared this to a bird in a birdcage.) On the eve of her marriage, she shut herself up in the church, following an old custom, but soon after that, she was found dead as a "headless corpse".
She's the accomplice of Ryuichi Rokusei , instigated by him, "This is the only way to be together," she cooperated in creating an alibi and killed Kiriko Kabuto . She persuaded Kiriko to change her clothes, saying, "There is someone I want to see for the last time." Drop a handkerchief over her face and put her to sleep.
Then, using an improvised pulley that used a winch and an extension cord reel that had been loaded on Rokusei's car, she pulled the bed up to the skylight, strangled her to prevent blood from splattering, and then decapitated her. Then, by ringing the church bell, everyone discovers the corpse, and in the confusion, they meet up with Rokusei.
However, immediately after that, she himself was killed by 7th Mummy and in the middle of the night her torso was replaced with Kiriko's, and his neck was cut off on the bed just like Kiriko's in order to look like a mummy .
Kindaichi was convinced that the bed was pulled up because the feather decoration of Kiriko's dress was caught between the legs of the bed.This trick is a means to secure Rokusei's alibi, but with this, Kiriko's corpse's head disappears, making her look different from the mummy in "Yoroi no Yakata" where her head is.
Wakaba, Isshiki, and Kusanagi cut out the same parts as the mummies in each mansion, but only Kiriko cut out parts that were different from the mummies in the original mansion. This was done in order to make her mistakenly think that she had misplaced the body part, and to divert her attention from the fact that not only Wakaba but also Kiriko's neck had disappeared due to the use of the corpse-swapping trick .
In fact, it seems that she had a suspicion that Mutoshi was going to kill her (because her father was the enemy of the Mutoshi family, just like Kiriko), and her strangled corpse (even though it wasn't drugged or put to sleep) ) There was no trace of resistance. Rukusei was in tears when he strangled Wakaba.
