"Could it be that he wrongly accused an innocent person of robbery and murder?" Kogoro Mouri said embarrassedly.
"No, the result is..." Shiroyama Suzuma hesitated and looked at Kudo Shinichi behind him who still had a confused look on his face, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"He said it was suicide!"
At this moment, a short-haired woman pointed at Kudo Shinichi behind them and said angrily: "It was this Kudo Shinichi who defined this case as the Hihara village chief forcing his wife to commit suicide for love!"
Suicide for love!?"
Hearing the words of the short-haired lady who suddenly appeared, everyone couldn't help but be shocked. They didn't expect that this was clearly a case of robbery and murder, but why was it classified as a suicide for love by the famous detective Shinichi Kudo.

Mizukawa Moeshige nodded and said, “However, on the day the case happened, he left the village and lived in a hotel in Tokyo because he was taking a university entrance exam.
So the suspicion was quickly cleared.”
"Then I have a question for you!"
Hattori Heiji raised his index finger with an unhappy look on his face, looked at Mizukawa Moe and said, "Where is that Mr. Castleman now?
Because it was he who sent me a letter saying that he found Kudo's reasoning was wrong and asked me to help contact Kudo to come here.
