Honjou and Itsuki, who thought their plan was perfect, were quickly arrested after the police contacted Shindo Sumire.
There's no need to analyze his motives; his alibis for the first six incidents alone are enough to keep him in the interrogation room.
However, Nanako Motokami's boyfriend, Mizutani, was also apprehended along with her.
Honjo and Itsuki struggled desperately, insisting that Mizutani was the mastermind who instigated them to commit murder.
Mizutani, who originally intended to take the blame for Honjo, was greatly shocked after the police told him about the diagram of the murder location, and then retorted sarcastically.
The brother-in-law and sister-in-law, who refused to acknowledge each other, were tearing each other apart in the interrogation room.
It was only then that the police learned that Mizutani and Nanako shared a common hobby: observing the stars.
Honjo actually connected the murder locations into the Big Dipper pattern so that he could ultimately pin the blame on Mizutani, claiming it was an act of revenge for his girlfriend.
Mizutani, however, felt that this tarnished the North Star, which he and his lover cherished most.
...In response, the police's belatedly realized forensic department said, "If you hadn't done this, there might have been fewer traces left at the crime scene."
The evidence collected so far is sufficient to prove that Ben is the real culprit.
The personal belongings taken from the victim were also found in Ben's home.
It was ordered by Ireland, in the name of Administrator Matsumoto, to be temporarily sealed as evidence in the murder case.
This ensures that no one will arbitrarily view it.
This "nobody" obviously does not include him personally.
The tasks assigned by the winery and the police were completed so easily.
Next, Ireland had to retreat again without anyone noticing and find a way to bring back Matsumoto, the administrator.
...
The matter was resolved smoothly, and Yoruichi Toyama was in a good mood. It wasn't until she and Akemi returned to their front door that she remembered she had forgotten something.
She hadn't had a chance to tell her about the tricks her ex-husband had played at home.
Just as I was praying that Akemi wouldn't mention anything about what happened outside once she got home, the young lady seemed excited about solving the case as well, saying as soon as she walked in, "By the way, today at the Metropolitan Police Department..."
"Akami!" Yoruichi Toyama called out in a panic, reaching out to grab her.
"Um?"
Akemi stopped talking, looking at Yoruichi Toyama with a puzzled expression.
Realizing he wasn't going to say anything more, she laughed and said, "What are you trying to say now? Why are you being so mysterious?"
"Um, I..." Yoruichi Toyama stammered for a moment, then shamelessly said, "I meant to say that you look especially beautiful today."
Akemi raised her eyebrows high, her first reaction was to reach out and touch Yoruichi Toyama's forehead, and after a moment she said in surprise, "You don't have a fever?"
A complex feeling rose from the depths of Yoruichi's heart.
"W-what's wrong?" he said stubbornly. "Can't I just compliment you?"
"My girlfriend is beautiful, I'm happy, and I genuinely compliment her. What's wrong with that?"
Mingmei looked at him intently, then smiled.
"Okay, nothing's wrong. But Detective, your face is all red!"
Having been scorned time and time again, Yoruichi Toyama could no longer bear it and pulled Akemi's body into his arms with force.
When they felt the warmth of each other's bodies, their eyes simultaneously became misty.
"I've never seen anyone like you before..." Yoruichi Toyama muttered as he examined the fair and delicate face up close.
"I love my girlfriend, what's so funny about that..."
“I was also laughing at my boyfriend… um…” Mingmei’s words were cut off halfway by Rere.
Although they didn't know how things had developed to this point, they were both happy to immerse themselves in this unexpected sweetness.
...
Subaru Okiya, who rented the villa next door, saw Yoruichi Toyama and Akemi through the window before turning around and entering the prepared listening room.
He had installed the latest model of listening devices in the living room and upstairs living room of the house, so he could basically hear all the daily activities of the young couple.
As for the bedroom, Subaru Okiya thought about it and decided to give up.
It's not that I think those two are having a platonic relationship; on the contrary, as their ex-husband, I really don't want to hear any of the shameless noises they might make.
They weren't secret agents, so the chances of discussing serious matters in the bedroom were too low. Subaru Okiya felt that letting go of this part was better for both of their physical and mental health.
But he didn't expect that the two of them would start being all lovey-dovey as soon as they entered the room.
Weren't we just talking about the Metropolitan Police Department a moment ago?
Judging from the wiretapping the previous day, they had received a commission as detectives, which led them to come into contact with the famous detective "Sleeping Kogoro".
He should have also met with Bourbon, Kogoro's current chief detective apprentice, the waiter at the coffee shop downstairs, and the organization's intelligence expert.
Thinking of this, Subaru Okiya became quite angry with Yoruichi Toyama.
Is your way of protecting your girlfriend to constantly be in front of the organization?
But I also know that I have no right to criticize others.
It was I who gave up on Akemi back then...
However, because of this, Subaru Okiya, or rather Shuichi Akai, vowed not to let Akemi be hurt again.
The reason for not immediately following her was out of respect for Mingmei's private life.
But in just two days, they have already become a cause for great concern.
It's Kogoro and his Bourbon again, and the Metropolitan Police Department again. How can Yoruichi Toyama, this half-baked detective, have so many problems!
As Subaru Okiya brought his ear closer to the receiver, hoping to get more information about the Metropolitan Police Department, he heard some voices on the other end that were not spoken.
