قسط 25: جعلی اغوا اور یرغمالی کیس

25

Takei Naoko, daughter of businessman Takei Katsuhiko, is held hostage by a kidnapper demanding $5 million dollars. When authorities approach the kidnapper, the van drives off a cliff and into the river, leaving both dead. Conan later befriends a woman named Hanai Akiko. He overhears a conversation between her and her boss, Katsuhiko. After finding scuba gear, Conan is delighted to know that Naoko may still be alive. While away, Akiko calls Katsuhiko and tells him that Naoko is still alive and to come alone and bring $5 million cash to the same warehouse. When Katsuhiko goes to the warehouse, he is shocked when Akiko reveals herself as the kidnapper. Naoko was never kidnapped or in harm; Akiko was the kidnapper and victim. Akiko explains that when Katsuhiko drove her father's company into bankruptcy, her father murdered her mother and brother Hanai Masahito, before killing himself. The money that Katsuhiko brought is counterfeit, enraging Akiko, who proceeds to try and murder Katsuhiko by burning him alive. Conan, having hid in the car's trunk, persuades Akiko to spare Katsuhiko or she will cause Naoko to suffer the way she has. Naoko is found and she hugs Akiko for the last time as she is arrested.
