Case

Situation

On a Sunday morning, Yusuke Sakon can’t contact his girlfriend Aki Kano while he is on his way there, so he asks the building manager of her apartment Hayashi to help open her room after he knew that the door was closed, only to find out that Kano is dead. The police arrive after and notice that there is a coffee cup containing cyanide and Kogoro’s investigation report nearby, causing him and Conan to arrive at the scene not long after.

Suicide?

Location: Apartment

Victim: Aki Kano

Age: 26 years old

Time: Sunday morning

Cause of death: Cyanide poisoning

Suspects: None known

The police rule her death as a suicide, even though no suicide note was left behind. Yet all other evidence points to a suicide, but is this really the truth?

Kogoro confirms that 10 days ago, he was hired indirectly by a person named Yamada on behalf of Kano to do the requirement he received the next day to investigate if her boyfriend Yusuke Sakon cheated on her or not, to which pointed out a specific woman named Michiru Kuga. At first, it appears that Kano was so desperate upon knowing this that she committed suicide using the coffee cup containing cyanide, with some evidence even support this:

• The security of where she worked mentioned that she came in yesterday though the place should’ve closed while the head Chemical researcher of that place Tadashi Otsubo reported that the missing amount of cyanide was enough to kill a person.
• Last night, Kano went out to meet her best friend Hiroko Nishida for apparently a farewell

But her search on the phone feels odd as two out of three words are: stalker and manslaughter, so Conan and Kogoro decide to ask some of her accomplices:

• Firstly, Otsubo mentions that Kano was followed by a man wearing sunglasses and masks sometimes. However, the most shocking thing is that she committed suicide before the publication of her most anticipated research results, which is Monday.
• And for Nishida, she immediately asks the two about if it was because of Sakon’s infidelity that caused Kano’s death without answering if she had been told about the stalker from her friend, to which causes Kogoro to wonder about after telling his thoughts. Nishida states that this is unusual as if Kano ever catches him (or any love interest) cheating, she will try to break the affair while in reality, she committed suicide without doing anything else.

Suddenly, Conan reminds Kogoro to inform Kano’s death to the one named Yamada, only for the two to discover through a camera footage nearby that he was in fact, Sakon. So the two arrange a meet up with Megure, Chiba, Takagi, and Sakon to reveal the truth behind.

Resolution

  Show spoilers »

The one who had been stalking Kano was in fact, Sakon in disguise. And it is revealed that he fooled her into believing that he has caused manslaughter and couldn’t escape the feeling of guilt. It was at that moment when he suggested committed suicide together so their love could sustain in the other world. She actually committed suicide and left a note that was later hidden by Sakon and he made it like it was a suicide because of being betrayed.

He admits it and says Kano was a thorn in his eye as she loved him too much, which angers Megure as he yells at him to show some remorse because of his crime. At that same moment, Conan is feeling heavy hearted when suddenly cherry blossoms create a gentle scene, ending the case peacefully.
