Seven years ago, timeline.
Fujiwara Yu was diligently searching for the Child of Destiny named "Edogawa Conan," believing that only by finding him could he gain permanent residency in...
I wanted to chase him and apologize, but my girlfriend called again, so I took the cake and took the elevator to the basement garage to go home from work."
Fujiwara Yu took out the diary and opened it. After finding the entry on May 1, he knew that Arai was not lying.
【May 1, 2002, Shui Yao Day】
That annoying person is here again. His mouth stinks, so disgusting. I've had to wash it several times today. Sigh, what's the point of living like this... But for Mom and Dad, I can do this. I'll definitely make it through this. I also met a kind person at the hotel today who wanted to help me, but I treated him like that. Now I'm so glad I didn't ruin his cake.
This scene was recorded in the diary, including the detail of "cake". It can be confirmed that the girl Arai met at that time was Chie Matsuoka, so she came to the hotel that day and encountered such a thing.
"Mr. Officer, this girl... is there something wrong?"
Arai was still very concerned about that girl. Her mental state was very strange at the time, and the police came to her door. Could it be that this girl had encountered something bad in the hotel?
Thinking of this, he felt a little complicated. If he caught up with her, he didn't know if he could change anything.
Matsuda Jinpei noticed the change in Arai's expression. He raised his hand and patted Arai on the shoulder. It was rare to hear some comforting words from him:
"This matter has nothing to do with you. Don't think too much about it. If you want to help, just give us the hotel's surveillance video."
"Well, I'll ask the manager to contact the president. Only the president has the authority to do this."
