Violence supervision in Conan

Chapter 442 A meticulously planned trap, a betrayed love, and a revenge for friendship!

Faced with a strange "wife" who suddenly appeared, Haruki Ito was bewildered and unsure of her purpose.

Furthermore, knowing that his real wife had long since died, he felt guilty and immediately became eager to prove that the other party was an imposter.

However, to Haruki Ito's surprise, despite trying every possible method, he still couldn't expose the other party's false identity.

The wife has scars on her legs, and the fake Kawaguchi Kiko has similar scars in the same location on her legs.

When questioned about private matters between spouses, the other party answered fluently.

Kawaguchi Kiko's ID card also shows this fake wife's appearance.

Even the surveillance footage taken in the bookstore clearly showed the appearance of a strange woman.

Haruki Ito is going crazy.

The police lost trust in him as a result, feeling that he was being unreasonable.

To make matters worse, psychotropic drugs were found in Haruki Ito's bag, which made things even more complicated for him.

Everyone assumed that Haruki Ito was a mentally ill patient, which led to the delusion that someone else was impersonating his wife.

"Mr. Ito, please stop reporting this to the police. It's a waste of police resources! It's proven that this lady is indeed your wife, Ms. Kawaguchi Kiko!"

Kogoro Mouri, playing the detective Kengo Akechi, solemnly warned Haruki Ito, his expression revealing obvious doubt and impatience.

Clearly, he no longer believed what the other person said.

Although he has been away from the police force for many years, Kogoro Mouri still plays the role of a policeman convincingly.

Moreover, compared to his previous lazy and unreliable demeanor, he was now sharp and decisive, as if he had once again become the spirited star detective he once was!
Eri, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but feel a trace of reminiscence in her eyes.

Ono Takeshi was also very satisfied with Kogoro Mouri's performance, proving that he had made the right choice in casting.

Kengo Akechi's words plunged Haruki Ito into despair.

I felt utterly speechless.

At the same time, a deep chill involuntarily welled up in my heart.

The other party was so well prepared that for a moment even he himself couldn't help but doubt whether this woman was really Kawaguchi Kiko.

However, he immediately banished the thought from his mind.

No one knew better than him that the real Kawaguchi Kiko was lying in the cold, lonely seawater at that moment.

The woman in front of me is definitely not my wife!

There is only one possibility: this woman is backed by a huge corporation that orchestrated this meticulous plan and covered up all the flaws.

And without a doubt, their target is themselves!
Haruki Ito couldn't understand what the other party's purpose was in going to such lengths.
Thinking of this, he felt a chill run down his spine, and a bone-chilling coldness crept into his heart.

But Haruki Ito was not one to give up easily; he was determined not to sit idly by and wait for his fate.

But where should we break this deadlock?
The other party's plan was so flawless that he had no way to start.

Under immense psychological pressure, Haruki Ito went to a bar to drown his sorrows in alcohol. Just then, a news segment playing on the bar's television inadvertently caught his eye.

On the screen, a smart and capable woman is being interviewed.

"This is Attorney Kujou Rei, one of our most formidable lawyers with an undefeated record!"

The bartender, played by Sera Masumi, began to introduce the woman on television.

His words reached Haruki Ito's ears and instantly made his eyes light up.

I immediately took out my phone and searched it up. I found that the bartender was right. Although this lawyer, Rei Kujo, was just a local lawyer, she had never lost a case and maintained an amazing 100% win rate.

Just like that famous "unbeatable queen of the legal profession"!
Looking at Kujo Rei's information and resume, Ito Haruki's breathing became rapid, and his eyes shone with hope, as if he had seen a savior!
In an instant, he decided to ask the other party for help!
To maintain an undefeated record, the opponent must be a meticulous and sharp-thinking person. Now that the police no longer trust him, perhaps this woman can help him.

Thinking of this, Haruki Ito could no longer restrain himself, got up and hurriedly left the bar.

Unbeknownst to him, the bartender was watching his back with a strange look.

Haruki Ito could never have guessed that this was all a trap set for him, and that everything had been planned in advance.

The information, including that of Kujo Rei, was all fabricated by a specialist.

At this moment, he was like an insect that had fallen into a spider web, struggling endlessly in the increasingly tighter trap...

All of this was simply his own doing.

……

Next, Haruki Ito approached Rei Kujo, and the two met for the first time.

Kujou Rei thus became involved and began her revenge plan!
This is a relatively important scene, and it's also the first scene between Yusaku Kudo and Eri Kisaki.

Ono Takeshi also took this very seriously and gave the two of them a detailed explanation.

Yusaku Kudo and Eri Kisaki listened attentively, then nodded to indicate that they understood.

"Action!"

Ono Takeshi gave the order.

Led by his secretary, played by Ran Mouri, Haruki Ito arrived at the door of Rei Kujo's office.

He took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

A calm voice came from behind.

Haruki Ito opened the door and immediately saw Rei Kujo across the street.

Dressed in a white business suit, Kujo Rei exuded competence. Her beautiful face was framed by gold-rimmed glasses, her bright eyes carrying a hint of sharpness, displaying an air of wisdom and nonchalance. In contrast, Ito Haruki, suffering from mental anguish, appeared dejected and listless. His eyes were bloodshot, his complexion sallow, and his unkempt appearance was a far cry from his previous elegant demeanor.

The two images present a stark contrast, which was intentional on Takeshi Ono's part, suggesting the opposition between light and darkness.

And this kind of hint appears in more than one place in the show.

For example, when Kujo Rei was entertaining Ito Haruki, she habitually put a slice of lemon in her teacup, and Kawaguchi Kiko had the same habit.

Unfortunately, Haruki Ito didn't notice this, because he never truly loved Kawaguchi Kiko; it was all just for money and his ugly inner desires.

It was as if Kawaguchi Kiko had once shown him a photo of her best friend, but now that Kujo Rei was sitting right in front of him, Ito Haruki still had no recollection of her.

Because he was completely indifferent to Kawaguchi Kiko.

All of this reflects the man's callousness and despicable nature.

Unfortunately, Kawaguchi Kiko failed to see through this man's true colors, entrusted herself to the wrong person, and ultimately ruined herself at his hands.

Looking at the prime suspect who had killed her best friend, Kujo Rei suppressed her anger and tried her best not to show any unusual emotions. After listening to Ito Haruki's account, she calmly helped him analyze the situation.

Oni nods secretly.

Both Yusaku Kudo and Eri Kisaki performed very well.

Yusaku Kudo clearly conveyed Haruki Ito's sense of helplessness when he was at his wit's end, as well as the hypocrisy hidden beneath his outward sincerity.

Eri Kisaki also perfectly portrayed her character's calmness, wisdom, and restraint and forbearance when facing enemies.

The two actors' performance was a delight to the audience, who were surprised that these two amateurs displayed acting skills no less impressive than those of award-winning actors and actresses.

While praising the talent, one can't help but admire Takeshi Ono's discerning eye in selecting people.

Is this the eye of Japan's top director? I love it!
In the scene, Kujo Rei listened to Ito Haruki's story and a playful smile appeared on her lips.

"This sounds interesting and challenging. Okay, I agree!"

Haruki Ito's face immediately lit up with surprise.

So the two decided to join forces to expose the true face of the fake Kawaguchi Kiko and find out the truth behind it all!
"Card!"

Ono Takeshi clapped.

The others also applauded.

Both of them performed flawlessly.

Yusaku Kudo and Eri Kisaki breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at each other.

"OK! Change scene!"

Under Takeshi Onino's orders, the crew got busy again.

……

Scene after scene was being filmed in an orderly fashion.

Thanks to the professionalism of the crew and the hard work of Yusaku Kudo and others, the filming is progressing even faster than Takeshi Ono had anticipated. If all goes well, it should be no problem to finish filming within a month.

As for post-production, Takeshi Ono chose to edit while filming, which increased his workload considerably, but given his energy level, he could handle it with ease.

This movie doesn't have many complex shots or special effects, so post-production wasn't difficult.

Meanwhile, promotion and distribution are also underway, and the film will be released as soon as production is completed.

It's just in time for Haruki Toriumi's court hearing.

Only Takeshi Onino could maintain the quality of a film at this speed.

Of course, others also deserve credit.

Everyone understood the significance of making this film, so even though Takeshi Ono worked overtime until late at night, they didn't complain much.

They all persevered.

Takeshi Ono saw all this and, while pleased, he didn't forget to provide logistical support.

Milk tea and late-night snack time!

Pay up!
Let's all roll up our sleeves and get to work!

With such efficient teamwork, the filming quickly came to an end.

There are three more important scenes remaining.

One scene involves Haruki Ito meeting the fake Kawaguchi Kiko at the beach to confront her, only to be framed by her instead.

The final truth is revealed when Haruki Ito finally learns everything: everyone was acting in his place to find out where Kiko Kawaguchi's body was. This devastates him.

The final scene is a flashback of Haruki Ito, where he dives into the sea with Kiko Kawaguchi, using the excuse of taking her to see the underwater starry sky, but he is the only one who comes up on the surface.

The filming of the first two scenes went smoothly, with only a few takes.

Yukiko Kudo performed consistently.

Yusaku Kudo and Eri Kisaki delivered surprisingly good performances, especially the former, who perfectly captured the despair and madness of the character.

The suppressed madness sent chills down everyone's spine.

It seems that after this movie, Yusaku Kudo might be crowned another "Best Actor" after being known as a master of mystery novels.

However, during the filming of the final underwater scene, an unexpected accident occurred...
