Welp the mystery user of the gun is an apparent priority this episode.

We get some flashbacks as well and tbh, I think it's predictable with the culprit. Glad to see that they solved the mystery even though someone did get hurt. D:

good episode.
i kinda guessed it was longtao when i saw the picture too, having studied HK's history extensively in school... but i couldnt explain how such a young-looking boy could be the killer lol. The reason he remained so young was kinda incredible... but i guess its an anime so anything is possible.
killing people is wrong, but i kinda pity him. And looks like the Puppeteer escapes yet again. i'm sure kindaichi will 1UP him someday.

So it was Longtao. Interesting that he stopped growing and looking older in those 18 years. Looks like he got a major growth spurt at the end there.

Satisfying ending to that case. It's interesting how they drew attention away from the obvious suspect since he appeared to be a boy.

The only downside is that I'm not finding Hell's Puppeteer to be all that great of a villain.

Just bear with him then, he'll be prominent this season, especially the last case

And the next 4 episodes will cover "Fudou high festival" and "Chidamari" murder case, eh?

ok is it just me or does every crime revolves around hell's puppeteer. It's becoming a little redundant

Well, he's supposed to be Kindaichi's Moriarty.

In any case, Takato coming up with the murder schemes is more believable than common people suddenly coming up with elaborate murder tricks as is the case with common detective stories. I mean how many people can actually think of such complicated tricks every time they want to murder several people?

honestly this arc is kinda lame. i meant it's too obvious that longtao was the culprit but surviving 18 years in that mine? really?

So it was Longtao after all.

Good case to start us off with.

*Facepalm*

The Heart is usually on the left side but in rare cases on the right side?
What exactly have those people been smoking?

The heart is, has been, and always will be, right in the center of the chest.
There is no place on the left side, because that's where your left lung is, and there's no place on the right side, because that's where your right lung is, and the best protected area of the ribcage is, dum dum, at the center, where nature decided to protect your heart.

These sort of oversights in a mystery are just...

The mangaka must be smoking weeds, is this supposed to be a supernatural mystery?

The thing that I found weird is that a 28 y.o. boy or man have a voice of Kugimiya Rie the tsunder- eee.. I mean a girl/young boy, the high-pitch xD

Thankfully Akechi didn't die because his heart is in weird place, left chest.. That's so weir- oh wait

Takatou just troll'd the entire police dep and Kindaichi, good trick.. good trick xD

Ahhhh now I remember why I liked this show :>

However, things that bothered me about this case:
- How can a kid keep the same voice for that long of a time and skip puberty? The "under stress stunts growth" thing doesn't make sense
- the half and half in the elevator doesn't make sense bc Longtao is shorter than the "women in red"
- too coincidental that every time someone died, Kindaichi was holding the weapon...

but good case regardless
