Ran & Kazuha approach "giant" Heiji as he tells them to come closer despite their fear: they then find that Heiji hasn't become larger but a "trompe l'oeil" sheet drawing is hanging there to give one that impression.

It's a cheap trick that doesn't work out without the fire and the gloom: the "beast" was the dog with fur put over it and there was a mini-banner ready there: when the dog would run away with the mini-banner the real one would be placed on the path with the bite marks to give off the impression it was the same one: that was why the dog didn't bark when the "monster" appeared: the "nue" cry was a glass harp: the only one who could do this is the novelist, the culprit, who readied the dog beforehand and who was meticulous to the point of planting trees to pull the trick off.

She pretended to put out the 1st fire and the 2nd fire was by seeding water and metallic sodium: the white grains were the cinders. She stabbed the core of a ball-pen to open the cork of the carbonated drink and spread the liquid around as she planned: she used the fire to kill the 2nd victim with poisoned needles.

The dead miner was the novelist's husband: she wanted to have revenge on the 2 pals who abandoned him when the cave-in: the famed memo can be read as "tetsuno" when seen from the reverse.

The miner wanted to say he'd found a steel ornamental hairpin but since he didn't know the Kanji for it he didn't know the proper naming either so he surely wanted to use the memo and the hairpin to ask "what is this?".

The novelist then summoned the other 2 making them get the wrong idea, making them believe a "steel bottle" had been found. She wanted to bring Kogoro to put a foil to the existance of the "nue": she predicted Ran & Kazuha would get scared at seeing the writing practice memos: that would give them a reason to swap rooms with the archaeologist: when they ask her why she called the writer she denies calling him but it turns out it's her and the late miner's son.

The Mayor comments that it looks like a tale in which Minamoto no Yorimasa wanted to give credit to his mother but she turned into the "nue".

Dawn comes and Yokomizo finally realizes Conan and Ran were there. Heiji brings Kazuha to the banks of the pond and with a background of the pond glowing like the "steel bottle" containing golden ovals: he attempts to do the one in a lifetime confession...

...But can't because the JSDF reinforcements Yokomizo called to capture the "nue" parachute into the area and surround them.

... Elsewhere, a high school girl named Oooka Momiji reads an article about the case on her smart-phone.
Momiji: "Hmmm... Quite active, isn't he? My future... husband (Haato)."

Side-note: "Has a rival that will endanger Heiji & Kazuha's love appeared...!? Next number will contain a new story! That elusive guy will apppear...!?"

Also, ich hätte ja nie im Leben damit gerechnet, dass HEiji jetzt da noch sein eigenes Love-Drama kriegt! Ich meine, wo kam diese Idee überhaupt her? Wird sicherlich interessant, weil ich so etwas nie von Gosho erwartet hätte. Jedenfalls nicht bei Heiji. Wenn dann eher bei der Polizei oder so. FD Jetzt ist nur die Frage, wie lange sie wohl da bleibt. Ich bin mir sicher, dass sie eine der Schlüsselfiguren bei dem Liebesgeständnis zu Kazuha wird. >3

Naja, nächstes Jahr kommt Film 21 raus, welcher ja laut Gosho eine "Heiji und Kazuha Super Love Comedy" werden soll, von daher haben jetzt dafür schonmal einen weiteren Charakter. Klar, im Manga wird sie noch einen anderen Sinn haben, da Gosho Charaktere, die nur wichtig für den jeweiligen Film sind, nie im Manga einführt, aber Momiji wird wohl auch in dem Film eine Rolle spielen.

Naja, es ist eine Weile her, dass wir einen schönen Film mit Heiji hatten (der 17. war nicht wirklich mein Fall) von daher hoffe ich, dass das dann auch schön zur Story beiträgt. Natürlich muss das Problem mit der "neuen Freundin" im Manga gelöst werden, aber wie lange das dauert kann man bei Aoyama ja nie wissen. Bin gespannt, ob sie auch noch eine Verbindung zu anderen Charakteren oder Personen hat, oder nur zu Heiji. Aoyama macht es ja sonst gerne so, dass die Charas um paar Ecken doch noch was miteinander zu tun haben.
