37 Year Old Kindaichi Case Files - Vol. 6 Ch. 48 - Hotel Europa : The New Murders (File 9)

I don't get the Detective's motivations anymore. He originally was determined to prove that Kindaichi was committing the crimes as some puppetmaster that wants to prove his ability but lately he's been completely ignoring that plotline. He's just like, 'nope just a suicide, case closed'. You'd think at the very least he'd be sneaking around trying to find Kindaichi red-handed. "why would I listen to a mere PR manager?' Um, because you don't that he's solved multiple crimes similar to this and were suspecting that he was the true culprit so having him explain things would be closer to proving your point than it just being a normal murder/suicide case?

Thanks for translating anyway.

Kindaichi tend to make people want to discount him so maybe the detective thinks Kindaichi is just an amateur busybody?

@Ynneja No, the end of the previous arc had the Detective telling Akechi that he believed Kindaichi to be the mastermind behind all of the murder cases he'd solved. He was so serious about it the accusation that Akechi actually broke out into laughter. Even in chapter 5 of the current arc, he said that directly to Kindaichi as well.

I meant that upon meeting Kindaichi in person, Yukimura probably thinks Kindaichi is probably as stupid as he looks, which is what a lot of people's first impressions of him kind of tend towards. XD
