The person asks him to wake up a man sitting near the window at the end of the train car no.14, Iori says that he couldn’t wake him up as the person admits his disgusting crime of killing the person, and requests him to take the USB from that person. It appears that the murder was performed accidentally while they happened to see Iori, whom they knew to be a former PSB officer as mentioned earlier, and they decided to use Momiji as a hostage to force Iori to do the dirty job of theirs.

However, they can’t find anything near the victim so the blackmailer suggests that Iori find it in the luggage instead. The luggage has regular items for a normal tourist, except for a blue notebook that has a statement related to Tsuguri’s recent scandal in its last page, which reminds him about the suicide of the man’s secretary. But before the story unfolds completely for us, Iori is disrupted by Heiji and is forced to improvise so that he can continue the searching, this also helps Conan and Heiji to confirm the hostage situation that they are in.
