While Conan secretly pondered how to level up on the Detective path.
Beside him, most people were still focused on the case.
Seeing Kanaya Mineto sat down on the ground, everyone was completely convinced: Jiang Xia had been right. He really was the murderer.

Shirane Kiriko looked at her longtime friend, shocked and deeply confused. "Kanaya, why did you kill him? I never imagined you'd be the murderer—haven't the few of us always gotten along well over the years? Even when we weren't fishing, we often went out for drinks and chatted..."
"Because of those drinks and chats." Kanaya Mineto gave a dejected smile. "Do you remember that little gathering we had at the izakaya not long ago?"
"The Captain had something to do and didn't come. While you'd stepped away from the table, I couldn't help asking Eshiri why the two of you had gotten divorced."
He looked painfully at the white moonlight he had admired since college. "Then Eshiri told me you divorced because he'd cheated on you.
"He said that back then, he'd been busy starting his business and under a lot of pressure. In a moment of weakness, he found himself a mistress. Later, you discovered it and were disappointed in him, so the two of you divorced."
Kanaya Mineto wiped his face. "As an outsider, I had no right to meddle in your divorce or his affair. But after admitting he'd cheated, he actually said—whether it was a company, fish, or a wife, newer was always better."
At that, Kanaya Mineto gritted his teeth. "That one sentence from that bastard completely ruined my youth and my dreams. I could never come to terms with it, because... for all these years, you were the only goddess in my heart!"
