Kitarie's Testimony
"I love mystery stuff, and there are a whole lot of things to think about. In a time like this, if you sniff around for clues and get close to the heart of the matter, you can hone in on the culprit. So I’ll leave it all up to Detective Maeda. It’s okay, I’m sure Detective Maeda will apprehend the culprit! Because the truth always comes first!"

Manga Version[]

Chapter 1[]

All 89 members of AKB48 went to a duplex island owned by one of Akimoto Yasushi's friends for a CM Shoot. After their first day shoot was over, they went to their designated resthouse on the other island. It was assumed that she heard that Kato Rena was missing and was shocked to learn that the scream they heard was from Sashiko finding the girl's lifeless body in the dining hall.
