Case Closed Vol. 69 — Manga Raw / Buy Official

The lakeside bath's locked room was a trick in which the culprit drowned the victim from afar using a natural mechanism; steam from the temperature gap and rigged footing made the scene look sealed. In the kappa arc, the riverbank footprints came not from a kappa but from special footwear, revealing a human who exploited the legend to hide the truth. In the "Air on the G String" kidnapping, part of the flowing melody is a code marking the ransom drop-off, and Conan decodes the sequence of notes to pinpoint the spot and rescue the hostage. Tangled human relationships lie at the root of every motive.
