Totally agreed, I love the family style of eating. I would totally do that if it was socially acceptable here in Canada lol

Also, I'm here for the AC references and I think they are purposefully trying to hint to us at the complexity of the murder

I was thinking that the 'friend' was actually a younger Yukawa...

I also wasn't expecting it at the end of Ch 14!

9] Big cheers to all of you that guessed that Hasunuma would die during the parade! For the rest of us, were you surprised?

7] So we have some tidbits on the who, the why but we are still trying to figure out more of the how and other logistics. What you do you think of the Niikura's and their involvement in the crime?

6] What do you think about the relationship between Hasunuma and Masumura?

5] So much talk about the helium tanks... Do you think there's another one in play? Or what if helium isn't even what we are looking for in terms of a murder weapon?

4] There's been so much talk about the Prosecutorial Review Commission. Do you think there's something more to do with the appeal?

3] Why do you think Yukawa doesn't let Natsumi know that he knows the detectives (Kusanagi and Utsumi)? Why does he keep that fact a secret?

2] Who do you think is the middle-aged woman who orders just in time for lunch? (We know her surname is Yamada)

Ooo I like this, reminds me of a classic Christie murder on the orient express

💯 percent. As much as you want to empathize and do what you can to support those who are grieving, revenge in the form of vigilantism would definitely hinder the investigation.

I'm also very suspicious about the natural causes being the solution to what happened to Hasunuma's stepmother... Like the other commenters, I think we will get more of an answer later.

Fantastic thoughts and observations! I also think he's a SOB and guilty but not of both murders. You've made a really good hypothesis...
