Some notes for this upload:

• I know that torties are a kind of cat, just that I couldn't think of any other good turtle-themed nicknames for Kame-chan.
• It's really bending my brain how similar Kameido looks to granny. Another reader already pointed out their ages don't match, but I'm pretty sure their similarity isn't coincidental.
  • As a side note, since Iwata is two years younger than Kameido, she would be around 20 years old in this chapter.
• Something I neglected to point out in chapter 9, Miura said, "Must draw this picture for the sake of..." He was referring to a single person (gender neutral).

He was told to be careful with Toyokawa, which means he needs to be careful with all the suspects. And he just asked it directly... learn to be subtle... are you going to believe when one suspect said another suspect is the culprit?

I still believe the wife, meaning the granny, is the culprit, because there is no other reason why that older reporter stalked her. My guess is they didn't solve it or catch the wrong culprit, and only years later, they managed to solve it correctly. That's why that older reporter stalked the granny.

I still think kameido is the granny. You can be a grandmother in your late thirties if both generations have kids a little young. Also granny doesn't look all THAT old, so her being in her late forties isn't too hard to imagine.

My current theory is that these two are going to hook up, and Iwata is takeh's dad.

Also, a lot of the things taken as truth about the timeline of events come from Toyokawa's testimony. Therefore I see good reason to question them. Including what Miura ate for lunch, or when/If Toyokawa was invited on this trip. He could have asked to go and then lied about it, or Miura could have brought it up much earlier. Which would have given him ample time to prepare. The only issue there is the motive. I can see disliking the guy, but that kind of pre-meditation plus rage-induced mutilation doesn't really add up to me.

What are you talking about, the granny looks really old, that's why she needs to wear that heavy make-up to hide it. Also, only 23 years passed since Kameido is in high school, meaning she will be around 38-41. Too young to look that old.

 

[undeed]

having the character say out loud any rebuttals the reader might have doesn't make the theory presented any less stupid

Stress can take a hell of a toll.

Thanks for the chapter

 

[Tonigi]

Thanks for chapter.
Since her name is contains turtle word, I think if we fold that picture the right way, some how it may shows outline of turtle or turtle kanji. I got to print it. 😊

Personally, I don't think the picture will show anything about the culprit. Like they said, if there is a really small possibility it looks suspicious, the culprit should have just thrown it away. The previous chapter has another reader who also tried to fold the picture in different ways, but in the end they didn't really find anything.

It's impossible lol. Takeh is married to Yuki in 2007. 12 years after this case. And Yuki is 6 years older than Takeh as well as being an ex-illustrator. If anything, if any of the suspects are characters we have seen before, then most probably Kameido is probably Yuki and Miura's wife is the granny. If Kameido is Yuki, she would be 32 in 2007, with Takeh being 26. Then she would be 34 when giving birth to Yuuta in 2009 and then died.

Again, Uketsu's style is usually the harder you think about something, the more likely you are to be wrong about it (just like Kurihara and the MC's initial hypothesis in Strange House). In fact, I currently suspect that Miura's time of death is actually manipulated to appear as if at 5 pm (he is shown to have drawn the grid drawing at night in the first chapter of this case) and that the murderer if they are from among the suspects are Kameido and his wife working together. Iwata probably comes too close to the actual truth after meeting Kameido and then silenced, which is why Kumai keeps chasing after the truth all the way until 2015.

Ohh

Thanks for chapter.

that's a good idea.

I was thinking, do we know if the body was found in the same place as the kicked pole? They say the poles were along the trail, but the body was found in a clearing. Are there poles in the clearing too? Maybe that's relevant

Kameido should already be dead being the mother in the first story so no way she's granny. The gravestone said Konno Yuki so Konno is probably the husband's surname. But it's kinda weird cause it should be Miura since I'm pretty sure granny is Miura's wife and Takeh is their son. If the wife/granny is the the killer It sorta makes sense why she's so adverse towards the police and why she recognizes the old reporter cause she was interviewed by him before. What we're missing is the motive as to why she'd kill her husband.

If Miura's wife is granny, she can simply revert to her old surname and make Takeh follow suit. That's a thing in Japan. Tho having to imagine Yuki and Takeh meeting each other because Yuki and the granny are accomplices and while Yuki is like 17 and Takeh 11 is a big yikes.
