Chapter Summaries

Matsuzaki Haru went to the theater to meet a mysterious figure, while the others gathered for dinner. A scream and the theater bell led everyone to discover Haru dead beneath a fallen chandelier.

• Matsuzaki Haru entered the dark theater and called for the person who had summoned her.
• Inozuka Taro called the students to dinner, and the group noticed Matsuzaki Haru was missing.
• A woman's scream sent Jiang Xia and the others rushing out to search, while Kurosawa Kazuma and Inozuka Taro followed.
• The theater bell rang, and Jiang Xia suggested Matsuzaki Haru might be there; Vermouth arrived with the others.
• The group found Matsuzaki Haru crushed beneath the fallen chandelier, and the dark-skinned student angrily questioned the caretakers about its safety.

Jiang Xia discovered that the theater chandelier had been deliberately sabotaged, and the island caretakers tried to conceal the hidden Hashimoto Maya while a storm stranded everyone on the island. As the students investigated a lit window on the supposedly empty fourth floor, Hashimoto Maya suspected that Uzo was behind the murder.

• Jiang Xia found a cut in the chandelier rope and identified the fatal fall as a premeditated murder.
• Inozuka Taro suggested that a criminal might be hiding on the island, but Conan questioned why the caretakers had not called the police; Kurosawa Kazuma explained that the storm had damaged the phone and trapped them there.
• The group spotted a lit window on the hotel's fourth floor, where no one was supposed to be staying, and Jiang Xia led them to investigate.
• Kurosawa Kazuma and Inozuka Taro confronted Hashimoto Maya, but he insisted he had stayed hidden in his room and had not killed the student.
• After hearing how the chandelier fell, Hashimoto Maya recalled Pisco's similar murder and suspected that Uzo had secretly caused this one too.

Hashimoto Maya, Kurosawa Kazuma, and Inozuka Taro investigated a wrecked hotel room that seemed to signal a vengeful Ghost had returned, while Jiang Xia sensed a possible new Ghost. The group discovered the boat was missing and realized they were trapped on the island.

• Hashimoto Maya spotted a light on the Old Hotel’s fourth floor and insisted Kurosawa Kazuma and Inozuka Taro investigate without him.
• Kurosawa Kazuma and Inozuka Taro found Jiang Xia and the students in a ransacked room, where dirty bandages suggested a connection to the dead Tsukishima Fuyuko.

• Kurosawa Kazuma and Inozuka Taro discovered bloody words in the inner bedroom, and Toda Kiwako collapsed as the students panicked.
• Dark-skinned Guy fled to the pier, found the boat gone, and realized the group was trapped on the island; Jiang Xia urged him to get up.

After the students returned to the Old Hotel, Chikada Yumi spoke about her painful feelings toward Tsukishima Fuyuko, and the group settled in for the night. Vermouth shared a bed with Jiang Xia, who woke claiming he sensed a Ghost, leaving her to suspect he had been excited rather than frightened.

• Chikada Yumi said Tsukishima Fuyuko’s brilliance had made standing beside her painful and invited her ghost to come find her.
• Suzuki Sonoko proposed that she, Mouri Ran, Jiang Xia, and Dr. Araide stay together for safety, and Vermouth followed them upstairs.
• Jiang Xia suggested that Vermouth sleep on the sofa, but she sat on the bed beside him instead.
• Jiang Xia fell asleep quickly, while Vermouth stayed awake because the island left her without her usual access to her phone or news.
• Jiang Xia suddenly sat up and said he thought there was a Ghost, then settled back to sleep after sensing nothing.
• Vermouth realized Jiang Xia’s reaction had sounded more like excitement at the prospect of catching a Ghost than fear.

Vermouth imagined that Uzo was investigating ghosts and spent a sleepless night, while the storm continued to rage around the Old Hotel. The group went outside after hearing a scream and discovered Chikada Yumi hanged from a tree.

• Vermouth guessed that Uzo's interest in ghosts came from wanting answers about his dead parents, while Mermaid tormented her and Mist Tengu gathered Killing Intent.
• The rain continued into the morning, and Conan briefly noticed that Dr. Araide seemed drowsy before quickly returning to normal.
• Mouri Ran told Suzuki Sonoko and the others that she thought she had seen a white-masked man watching her through a window.
• Jiang Xia followed a scream from outside the Old Hotel, with Kurosawa Kazuma and Inozuka Taro trailing behind him.
• Jiang Xia and the others found Chikada Yumi hanging from a tree, leaving Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Ran horrified.

Jiang Xia investigated Chikada Yumi’s hanging and concluded that she had walked to the tree herself, while the group feared the Phantom’s next attack. That night, Kurosawa Kazuma and Inozuka Taro dismissed the killer but worried Jiang Xia suspected them.

• Jiang Xia pointed out that Chikada Yumi’s hanging was not a suicide and found that the muddy footprints leading to the tree matched her shoes.
• Toda Kiwako explained that the murders resembled the deaths in The Phantom of the Opera, while Jiang Xia said the killer had created the illusion of a ghost.
• Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko feared the next attack, but Conan insisted that science offered a better explanation than mind control or ghosts.
• Jiang Xia photographed the scene, helped lower Chikada Yumi’s body, and returned with the others to the dining room.
• After a quiet day, Kurosawa Kazuma and Inozuka Taro met at night and worried that Jiang Xia had recognized them as criminals.

Kurosawa Kazuma and Inozuka Taro decided to kill Jiang Xia before he could expose their identities, preparing several plans that would make his death look accidental. Meanwhile, Jiang Xia sat in the Old Hotel deep in thought, leaving Suzuki Sonoko curious about the difficulty of the case and Vermouth wary of what he might be planning.

• Kurosawa Kazuma and Inozuka Taro feared Jiang Xia would discover their identities and agreed to silence him on the deserted island.
• The two planned to lure Jiang Xia beneath stage props and make a falling object kill him, with a steep slope as a backup method.
• Inozuka Taro proposed drowning Jiang Xia near the yacht as a final option, and the pair went out at night to prepare their plans.
• Jiang Xia sat by the Old Hotel window in deep thought while Vermouth watched him from afar and feared the bloody schemes he might be devising.
• Suzuki Sonoko asked Jiang Xia whether the case was especially difficult, and he turned his attention from the window.

Jiang Xia questioned whether Tsukishima Fuyuko had truly died by suicide while Inozuka Taro sneaked into the Theater and was knocked unconscious by an unseen attacker. Later, a scream led Jiang Xia and Conan upstairs, where they found the caretaker dead in a bathtub full of bloody water.

• Jiang Xia questioned whether the disfigured Tsukishima Fuyuko had really committed suicide, though Conan said many witnesses had seen her jump.
• Inozuka Taro entered the Theater to inspect the stage rigging, then went to the Prop Room and mistook a coat draped over a table for a person.
• An unseen attacker struck Inozuka Taro from behind, knocking him unconscious, and Hashimoto Maya glimpsed someone carrying away a broad man.
• After Toda Kiwako screamed, Jiang Xia and Conan found water leaking through her bathroom ceiling, followed by a reddish stain that looked like diluted blood.
• Jiang Xia kicked open the upstairs room and, with Conan, found the caretaker dead in a bathtub overflowing with bloody water.

Jiang Xia and the others discovered Inozuka Taro dead in a bathtub, and Conan suspected the crude murder was connected to the killer’s earlier staged cases. When Conan pressed Toda Kiwako about Tsukishima Fuyuko’s death, she fled but then began explaining how Fuyuko’s talent had overshadowed Yumi and Koharu in the Drama Club.

• Jiang Xia found Inozuka Taro’s body in the bathtub and secretly collected his Shikigami and Killing Intent.
• Jiang Xia suggested that the killer had attacked Inozuka elsewhere and moved him to the bathroom, while Conan noted the murder differed from the earlier staged deaths.
• Conan suggested Inozuka might have encountered evidence or the killer, prompting Toda Kiwako to panic and run from the scene.
• Jiang Xia and Conan caught up with Toda Kiwako, and Conan pressed her to reveal what she knew about Tsukishima Fuyuko’s jumping incident.
• Toda Kiwako said Fuyuko’s disfigurement had been an accident and described how Fuyuko’s popularity had frustrated Yumi and Koharu.

Toda Kiwako explained how Koharu and Yumi accidentally caused Fuyuko’s death, while a masked Phantom attacked Dr. Araide and fled through a window into the sea. Jiang Xia then revealed that Inozuka Taro had been found dead, leading Kurosawa Kazuma to suspect Hashimoto Maya.

• Toda Kiwako told Conan that Koharu and Yumi had accidentally killed Fuyuko with Sulfuric Acid and that she had helped conceal the truth.
• Jiang Xia noticed the Phantom approaching, and the masked attacker slashed at Dr. Araide before fleeing as Jiang Xia and Conan chased him.
• Jiang Xia and the others found muddy footprints leading to an open window and presumed the Phantom had fallen into the sea.
• Kurosawa Kazuma arrived, and Jiang Xia told him that his companion had been found dead in a bathtub.
• Kurosawa Kazuma recognized that Hashimoto Maya was the only other organization member who could have killed Inozuka Taro.

Kurosawa Kazuma confronted Hashimoto Maya over Inozuka’s death, but Hashimoto denied killing him and explained why the evidence pointed elsewhere. Meanwhile, Jiang Xia and Conan followed Kurosawa and realized the supposed murderer’s fall into the sea had been staged, leaving the killer’s identity unresolved.

• Kurosawa Kazuma blamed the blood-smeared intruder for the trouble, and Matsuzaki Masahiko said the intruder had fallen into the sea and probably died.
• Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Ran expected a boat to arrive the next morning and believed the danger had passed.
• Kurosawa Kazuma went to Hashimoto Maya’s hiding place and accused him of killing Inozuka.
• Hashimoto Maya said he had seen someone carrying Inozuka through the rain and argued that he could not have been the murderer, but Kurosawa Kazuma remained unconvinced and raised his stick.
• Conan and Jiang Xia followed Kurosawa and noticed the clean windowsill suggested the supposed murderer had discarded his disguise and mingled with the students.

Jiang Xia and Conan found Hashimoto Maya fighting Kurosawa Kazuma in the old building, where Jiang Xia accepted Hashimoto’s explanation that he had acted in self-defense. Jiang Xia then questioned why Hashimoto had been hiding on the island.

• Jiang Xia and Conan followed Kurosawa Kazuma’s muddy footprints to the old building and heard a fight upstairs.
• Conan kicked a can toward the shadow pinning Kurosawa, but the man dodged it; Jiang Xia’s flashlight revealed Hashimoto Maya.
• Conan recognized Hashimoto as the Hero Co-pilot, and Jiang Xia asked why he was on the island.
• Hashimoto claimed Kurosawa had attacked him and that he only meant to knock him out; Jiang Xia believed him based on the footprints and the lack of evidence linking him to the murder.
• Kurosawa accused Hashimoto of killing Taro, but Jiang Xia argued that height and build alone could not identify the murderer.
• Jiang Xia asked Hashimoto why he had been hiding on the island.

Hashimoto Maya explained his absence on the island with a story about recovering from the plane’s disasters, and Jiang Xia invited him and Kurosawa Kazuma back to the Old Hotel for safety. As they headed there, Jiang Xia asked where Edward was, drawing Matsuda Jinpei’s attention because he suspected Edward was Irish.

• Conan questioned why Hashimoto Maya had stayed hidden on the island, and Hashimoto claimed he was recovering from trauma caused by the dangerous flight.
• Jiang Xia accepted Hashimoto’s explanation, said he did not believe Hashimoto was the Phantom, and urged him to return to the Old Hotel with everyone.
• Hashimoto agreed to stay with the group and leave by boat the next day, then pulled Kurosawa Kazuma up and pretended they were close friends.
• Hashimoto and Kurosawa fell behind the detectives, and Kurosawa admitted he believed Hashimoto was not the murderer.
• Jiang Xia asked why Edward had not come to the island to recuperate, while Matsuda Jinpei listened closely because he suspected Edward was Irish.

Jiang Xia questioned Hashimoto Maya and Kurosawa Kazuma about the island and Inozuka Taro’s death, while privately plotting to use new Organization recruits to generate Killing Intent. The next morning, Jiang Xia began investigating the crime scenes, and Kurosawa accused Hashimoto of killing the man beneath the Theater’s fallen chandelier.

• Hashimoto Maya told Jiang Xia that Irish had also been on the plane but that they had not contacted each other since disembarking.
• Jiang Xia asked Kurosawa Kazuma where Inozuka Taro had been killed, and Kurosawa directed him to search the Theater and the hotel.
• Hashimoto Maya realized Inozuka Taro had likely died while plotting against Jiang Xia and felt reassured that avoiding provocation would improve his chances of survival.
• Jiang Xia returned to the Old Hotel with the others, then went out the next morning to inspect the crime scenes; Hashimoto Maya and Kurosawa Kazuma followed him.
• At the Theater, Kurosawa Kazuma asked Hashimoto Maya whether he had killed the person trapped beneath the fallen chandelier.

Jiang Xia investigated the island murder scenes while Hashimoto Maya and Conan noticed evidence pointing toward Kurosawa Kazuma, who had prepared a trap for Jiang Xia. Back in the dining room, just as Suzuki Sonoko reflected on the strange unresolved killings, a crossbow fired at the group.

• Hashimoto Maya argued that the chandelier victim’s time of death might have been obscured, while Dr. Araide watched him at the scene.
• Jiang Xia found a broken piece of Inozuka Taro’s flashlight backstage and concluded Inozuka had been killed there, then collected the Killing Intent left behind.
• At Chikada Yumi’s hanging scene, Jiang Xia noticed a suspiciously smooth stone; Hashimoto Maya realized Kurosawa Kazuma had prepared it as a trap, and Conan also grew suspicious.
• Jiang Xia said he understood the cases and led everyone back to the dining room to guard against further attacks.
• Suzuki Sonoko told Mouri Ran that the unexplained deaths could inspire a school-festival mystery play, but a crossbow suddenly fired a bolt carrying intense Killing Intent.

A crossbow bolt struck Kurosawa Kazuma after Hashimoto Maya shoved Jiang Xia out of its path. Hashimoto tried to save Kurosawa and hoped his survival would keep suspicion from falling on him.

• Jiang Xia entered as a crossbow bolt shot toward him, but Hashimoto Maya shoved him aside and the bolt hit Kurosawa Kazuma.
• Hashimoto Maya panicked and denied responsibility, then rushed to examine Kurosawa's wound.
• Vermouth suspected Uzo had anticipated the attack and sent for her medical kit after Conan urged her to save Kurosawa.
• Hashimoto Maya realized the incident could make him a suspect, but reasoned that Kurosawa might protect him if he survived.
• Hashimoto Maya stopped Dr. Araide from treating Kurosawa and took charge of first aid while she went to check on a female student.

Jiang Xia and Conan investigated a crossbow attack on Toda Kiwako, and clues pointed toward Kariya Hayato as the murderer who had faked his death. Kariya’s friend struggled to believe the accusation as the group awaited his response.

• Hashimoto Maya volunteered to rescue Kurosawa Kazuma, leaving Conan uncertain whether he had misjudged him or whether Edward was coercing him.
• A crossbow bolt grazed Toda Kiwako, and Jiang Xia declared that the murderer was still among the group.
• Jiang Xia questioned why Toda Kiwako had taken the only seat with a plate, and Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Ran recalled that Kariya Hayato had assigned everyone their seats.
• Matsuzaki Masahiko revealed that he had seen Kariya Hayato looking out the window after Phantom fled, supporting the theory that Kariya had disguised himself as Phantom and staged his apparent death.
• A short-haired girl protested that Kariya Hayato might have been in the corridor to help catch the murderer rather than being Phantom.

Jiang Xia explained how Phantom was a fictional murderer and reconstructed the stage murder, linking it to Inozuka Taro’s death. He then began outlining how the second victim, Chikada Yumi, was killed, leaving the investigation in progress.

• Jiang Xia argued that Phantom’s strange route and the staged hotel-room evidence showed that Phantom was invented to take the blame.
• Jiang Xia explained that the murderer used a prerecorded scream and the theater’s Curtain and chandelier to kill Matsuzaki Haru while disguising his presence among the searchers.
• Jiang Xia connected Inozuka Taro’s death to the murderer’s discovery that someone had taken the Cassette Tape, and pointed out a fragment from Inozuka’s flashlight found backstage.
• Jiang Xia described how the murderer could have hanged Chikada Yumi from outside her window using a sliding noose and a building protrusion.

Jiang Xia explained how Kariya Hayato staged the murder, and Kariya confessed that he had targeted the women he blamed for Fuyuko’s death. He revealed that he had planned to kill Chikada Yumi, but stopped short of explaining why as he turned toward Jiang Xia.

• Jiang Xia explained how the murderer used a rope, a stone, and a staged crossbow to make the deaths look like an accident and a suicide.
• Everyone suspected Kariya Hayato, who drew a knife and recounted how he had turned away from delinquency after nearly killing someone in a fight.
• Kariya Hayato described meeting Fuyuko, who supported him as he tried to change his life.
• Kariya Hayato said Fuyuko jumped from a building after overhearing the women who had harmed her celebrating that she would lose her role in the play.
• Kariya Hayato admitted that he sent threatening letters to the women and later intended to kill Chikada Yumi, then turned his gaze toward Jiang Xia.

Kariya Hayato revealed that Fuyuko had left him a letter asking him not to seek revenge, but he had eventually chosen to drag her killers to Hell with him. After Ran understood Fuyuko’s final thoughts, Kariya fled and appeared on the roof, leaving the group to fear he might jump.

• Kariya Hayato explained that a past falling incident had frightened Chikada Yumi away from their planned meeting, though her later prank had brought his targets together on the island.
• Kariya Hayato taunted Toda Kiwako, but her forgiveness left him unmoved, and Mouri Ran suggested Fuyuko had wanted to die before hatred consumed her.
• Kariya Hayato confirmed Ran’s interpretation and read Fuyuko’s letter, which had urged him not to hate the people responsible or ruin his life seeking revenge.
• Kariya Hayato said rage had eventually overwhelmed him, then smashed a window and fled outside.
• Hashimoto Maya spotted Kariya Hayato standing on the roof in the sunlight, and the others looked up after him.
