Katori Akane had no time to worry about the kidnapper for the moment. She turned to her fiancé and apologetically explained about her former fiancé, an outlaw:
"I'm so sorry. I didn't know Mr. Takahashi had come to Nagasaki. I was shocked when I saw him last night. We hadn't seen each other for ten years before that, and we hadn't had any contact in between."
Conan said, "Last night, I saw Akane and that big brother talking together."
The Groom: "..."
Katori Akane: "..."
Hashimoto Maya: "..." That Little Devil Uzo had raised was stirring things up again! He really seized every opening to fan the flames. Terrifying.
Katori Akane sighed. "I didn't know why he had suddenly appeared here, so I found a chance to ask him last night. He said he had come specifically to attend the wedding, but his expression really didn't look like it. So I kept worrying that something would happen at today's wedding... and something really did happen."
Jiang Xia looked at the dark-skinned man and suddenly said, "He seems to be awake."
Hashimoto Maya: "..." Uzo's hateful lackey had infected the righteous Detective!... But Jiang Xia wasn't fanning the flames. His observation skills were simply too sharp; he had noticed that the key witness was awake and said so, that was all.

A Detective willing to protect citizens unconditionally always put people at
