Curacao looked at the chat log. "..." Heh, so naive. Uzo had encouraged plenty of things—he just liked stirring up conflicts between people and took pleasure in seeing their killing intent surge.

Suzuki Sonoko frowned and thought for a moment, then actually came up with someone. "The 'Shin' in Kudo Shinichi?"
Conan: "...?" *I'm trying to get you out
